Facials
Getting a facial at a medical spa is a different experience. At Sports MedSpa in San Diego, we focus on the long-term health of your skin by considering your unique skin type and other factors. With this approach, we can provide treatments that improve your skin’s health over time, rather than just offering short-term results. We also provide advanced options like Hydrafacial and chemical peels that go deeper than traditional facials. These treatments can help improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance, leaving you with healthier, glowing skin.
An Overview of Our Facials
A facial is a skin treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear and hydrated complexion. At Sports MedSpa, we offer traditional relaxing facials that provide deep cleansing and hydration, keeping your skin healthy throughout the year. In addition to these, we offer specialized facials to address specific concerns such as acne, acne scars, and aging skin. Whatever your skin needs, we have a treatment to match.
How Can Our Facials Benefit You?
Customized Treatments for Your Skin Type
Our facials work with your specific skin type, whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin. By analyzing your skin’s condition during each visit, we adjust the treatment to target your concerns. This ensures that each facial not only feels refreshing but also addresses issues such as uneven tone, texture, or excess oil which gives you better results compared to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Deep Cleansing and Exfoliation
The deep cleansing and exfoliation provided by our facials go far beyond what over-the-counter products can give you. While at-home cleansers remove surface dirt, our treatments dive deeper into your pores to extract impurities that contribute to clogged pores and dull skin. Professional exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can block healthy skin renewal, giving your skin a fresh, clean slate that over-the-counter scrubs can’t replicate.
Improved Skin Hydration
Dead skin cells and other external factors can make it difficult for hydrating products to penetrate deeply into the skin. Our facials remove these barriers, allowing hydrating ingredients to go where they can work more effectively. By improving your skin’s moisture retention, our facials can leave you with a smoother, more supple complexion that stays hydrated long after your treatment.
Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation
Regular facials can improve the appearance of aging skin by encouraging cell turnover and stimulating collagen production. Facials that incorporate treatments like chemical peels or microdermabrasion can also reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage while brightening dull, tired-looking skin.
Minimized Acne and Blemishes
Deep cleansing and extractions help remove excess oil and bacteria that contribute to breakouts while specialized masks and treatments can reduce inflammation and redness. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars or active blemishes, our facials offer a way to manage and improve the look of your skin over time.
Instant Results With Lasting Improvement
One of the best aspects of our facials is that you’ll notice immediate results, such as smoother, more glowing skin. However, these treatments aren’t just about short-term benefits. With regular facials, the improvements to your skin can last much longer, especially when it comes to addressing deeper concerns like acne, fine lines, and hydration.

BioRePeelcl3® targets the dermis (medium depth of skin) with the goal of stimulating new skin growth and improving surface texture and appearance. It is used to diminish long term effects in treating active skin concerns such as sun damage, blemishes, pigmentation, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Dermaplane
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that involves using a tool to manually exfoliate the skin. Dermaplaning provides brighter and smoother skin while increasing the absorption of topical products. It is also known to immediately reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning can also help minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation and acne scars as it removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The treatment is gentle and suitable for all skin types and can be a good option for those who may be sensitive to harsher exfoliation methods. With consistent treatments, dermaplaning can also stimulate skin renewal which can keep the skin looking more youthful. This treatment is especially beneficial before events since it leaves the skin radiant and allows makeup to be applied flawlessly. Treatments take around 30 minutes so they are perfect for a quick lunchtime boost.
PRP Facial
The PRP Facial is a state-of-the-art non-surgical aesthetic treatment that utilizes the body’s own natural “growth factor” to rejuvenate the skin. This facial is dubbed a “PRP facial” because the patient’s own blood is used in the procedure. PRP Facial is known to reduce hyperpigmentation, treat wrinkles, and lighten scarring.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a derivative of your blood that contains platelets and growth factors. During a PRP Facial, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components. The PRP is then applied to your skin through injections. This allows the PRP to penetrate deeply into the skin, stimulating collagen production and cellular repair. The entire process takes about an hour, and a topical numbing cream is used to keep you comfortable.
After the treatment, mild redness or sensitivity may occur at the injection sites but will fade quickly. Results gradually improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases, with many patients opting for regular treatments to maintain smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Red light: anti-aging, rejuvenating, collagen induction
Blue light: anti-bacterial & healing
What to Expect From LED Light Therapy
During an LED Light Therapy session, your skin is cleansed, and you’ll lie under a panel which emits specific light wavelengths based on your skin concerns. The treatment is painless, with a warm sensation, and typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. As the light penetrates your skin, it works at the cellular level to rejuvenate and heal. There’s no downtime, and many patients notice a refreshed, glowing complexion after just one session. With regular treatments, red light can improve long-term skin texture and reduce aging signs, while blue light provides ongoing acne management.

Results are visible immediately after the service. The results are often immediate, with noticeable improvements like reduced puffiness, smoother skin, and a more sculpted appearance. During the session, light, rhythmic motions are used to massage the skin, promoting circulation and the skin’s natural detoxification process. The treatment is relaxing and non-invasive, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated.
