LCM ESTHETICS

LCM Esthetics offers facial and body treatments from its East Main Street location in El Cajon. Its facial menu runs from $95 to $130 and includes enzyme facials, microdermabrasion and relaxation treatments. The business describes its treatments as luxurious and refreshing, and says its goal is for clients to leave feeling confident, glowing and pampered.

The facials differ in focus. The Signature Glow ($130, 1 hour 30 minutes) includes a cleanse, customized skincare, targeted pore care and a rejuvenating mask. Hydraglow ($130, 1 hour 30 minutes) uses water-based technology and gentle suction, with extractions as needed and a hydrating mask. The Customized Facial ($120, 1 hour 15 minutes) is tailored by the esthetician to needs such as hydration or uneven tone.

For clients with breakout-prone skin, the Goodbye Breakouts facial ($110, 1 hour 30 minutes) targets mild to moderate acne. It covers cleansing, acne-focused skincare and a calming mask. The salon advises that breakouts that are stronger or keep returning should be looked at by a medical provider. The Deep Detox Facial ($100, 1 hour 15 minutes) offers deep cleansing with a skin scrubber, pore-focused treatment and a finishing mask. It is not recommended for acne-prone skin or skin that is currently inflamed. Gentlemen's Glow ($95, 1 hour 15 minutes) is also a deep-cleansing facial, with skincare chosen for the individual and extractions performed when needed.

Microdermabrasion Polished Perfection ($95, 1 hour) is an exfoliating facial with a cleanse, microdermabrasion and a soothing mask. Suitability depends on skin condition, so a skin assessment is recommended before treatment.

Treatments are tailored where the menu allows, and suitability is checked before services such as microdermabrasion.
