Skin Essentials by Bianca

Skincare services have been offered at this El Paso studio since 2014. The business says its aim is to help clients feel better about their skin and themselves, and it describes its service as personalized. The menu covers facials, skin treatments, threading, lash tinting and add-ons.

Facials start at $65 and run about 45 minutes or longer. A Basic Facial includes full face cleansing, a mask chosen for skin type, extractions when needed and facial massage. A Custom Facial is shaped around the client's skin needs and adds exfoliation and massage that reaches the neck, shoulders, hands and arms. A Hydrofacial cleanses, exfoliates and extracts while infusing treatment serums. LED light treatment is offered for acne, fine lines, swelling and redness. An Oxygen Dome facial is listed as a newer option meant to support renewal of damaged skin cells.

Chemical peels are offered for aging, acne, hyperpigmentation and sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, and include post care. BioMicroneedling starts at $150 and takes about 1 hour 15 minutes or longer. Instead of needles, it uses sea sponge spicules to create a needle-like effect that supports collagen production. Clients are asked to arrive without makeup and to prep their skin beforehand. Not everyone is a candidate, and a substitute treatment is used for anyone allergic to an ingredient. Microdermabrasion with a diamond tip is a mechanical resurfacing treatment for texture, aging, hyperpigmentation and some acne, taking 45 minutes or longer, and it can be paired with a basic facial. Nanoneedling stamps a chosen product into the skin over 15 minutes or longer and includes post care. It can be added to a facial or chemical peel, and full-size post-care products are recommended afterward. The business states that nanoneedling gives 98% better product absorption. Clients who are not suited to nanoneedling are advised, and skin must be prepped beforehand.

A Facial and Peel Bundle is offered for $160 and takes 1 hour 30 minutes. Threading is available for eyebrows at $14, upper lip at $14, chin at $15 and full face at $40. Lash tinting costs $40 and takes 45 minutes. Add-ons start at $10. Appointments can be booked online through the business's website, and the phone number is (915) 455-1755. Hours are Tuesday 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm, Thursday 9:00 am to 12:30 pm and 4:30 pm to 10:00 pm, Friday 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, and Saturday 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. A referral program gives 20% off the next skin care service when a client refers a friend or family member. Gift cards are sold as eGift cards in amounts of $25, $50, $60, $100 or a custom amount.

The business says its skincare is meant to improve clients' self-esteem, with personalized attention to each client's needs.
