A deluxe facial offers extended time and advanced steps tailored to your skin.
A deluxe facial is designed for clients who want more time, more personalization, and more advanced steps than a standard facial provides. At The Mila MedSpa in Fort Lauderdale, a deluxe facial builds on our skin-first philosophy — adding depth without adding an overdone appearance. This guide explains what makes a deluxe facial different, who may benefit, and what to expect.
A deluxe facial is an extended, more personalized treatment that builds on a standard facial with additional steps such as advanced serums, targeted massage, and longer treatment time. At The Mila MedSpa in Fort Lauderdale, it begins with a consultation. Suitability is confirmed during that consultation, results vary, and the treatment is designed to support refreshed, natural-looking skin.
What Is a Deluxe Facial?
A deluxe facial is a longer, more comprehensive treatment that typically includes everything in a customized facial plus additional steps. These may include advanced treatment serums, extended massage for circulation and relaxation, specialized masks, and enhanced hydration. The extra time allows your provider to address multiple concerns in a single session.
How a Deluxe Facial Differs from a Customized Facial
Both treatments are personalized, but a deluxe facial offers more time and additional steps. A customized facial adapts to your skin on the day; a deluxe facial extends that adaptability with advanced serums, longer massage, and a more comprehensive sequence. You can compare the two in our customized facial guide.

- Dehydration and loss of suppleness
- Uneven texture and tone
- Tension in the face and jaw
- A desire for a more comprehensive, relaxing experience

Why Results Vary
Results vary because skin is influenced by genetics, lifestyle, hydration, sun exposure, and home skincare. Your provider sets realistic expectations during consultation and adjusts the plan as your skin evolves.
