Healthy, camera-ready skin starts with the right routine and the right treatments. At Destination Aesthetics™, our DA Skincare facials in El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA, go beyond day-spa basics to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse the skin for a brighter, smoother, more hydrated complexion, with little to no downtime.
DA Skincare is our suite of medical-grade facials and skin treatments, like HydraFacial® and DiamondGlow™, that combine controlled exfoliation, pore purification, and targeted serum infusion. These FDA-cleared devices and professional formulations help improve tone, texture, congestion, and early signs of aging while protecting the skin barrier and minimizing irritation.
Many facials feel relaxing, but not all deliver clinical-level change. Day spa facials focus on pampering and surface cleansing. DA Skincare uses advanced devices, adjustable abrasion levels, and professional-strength serums to address congestion, dullness, fine lines, and discoloration with measurable results.
Both can cleanse and refresh, but DA Skincare employs medical-grade technology and customized serums for deeper, more consistent outcomes. Day spa facials are great for routine care; DA Skincare is ideal when you want visible correction and glow with minimal downtime.
DA Skincare treatments combine precision exfoliation, vacuum-assisted extraction, and targeted infusion (e.g., hyaluronic acid, brightening peptides, clarifying actives). Day spa facials typically use manual techniques and cosmetic products. Both are safe; DA Skincare simply reaches further with controlled, device-assisted delivery.

Men’s skin is typically thicker, oilier, and more prone to congestion, which means it requires a different approach than women’s skin. DA Skincare treatments are tailored to address these differences by refining texture, reducing shine, and keeping pores clear without irritation. Our aestheticians customize exfoliation depth and serum selection to maintain a clean, energized look that enhances confidence while preserving masculine features. For more details, see our DA™ Men page.
Yes. DA Skincare treatments go far beyond brightening the complexion. They can target acne, dryness, early aging, and uneven pigmentation while still leaving skin balanced and refreshed. Each session is customized to match your unique skin needs and long-term goals.
For those struggling with breakouts, clogged pores, or oily skin, DA Skincare offers targeted treatments that go deeper than over-the-counter products. Professional exfoliation, pore extraction, and clarifying serums help reduce active acne, minimize congestion, and smooth uneven texture. These treatments support long-term skin clarity while protecting the barrier.

Yes. DA Men treatments can be paired with other non-surgical options for a more comprehensive approach to rejuvenation. Combining wrinkle relaxers, skin resurfacing, or body contouring services ensures balanced results that enhance longevity and create a refreshed appearance from every angle.
DiamondGlow™ and HydraFacial® are two of the most advanced facial technologies available today, and both can play an important role in managing acne and congestion. While they share some similarities, the way they work and the benefits they emphasize are slightly different.
DiamondGlow™ relies on a diamond-tipped device for precise exfoliation paired with powerful suction and targeted serum infusion. This makes it especially helpful for patients struggling with clogged pores, textural roughness, and stubborn breakouts that don’t respond to at-home care.
HydraFacial®, on the other hand, is designed to gently resurface and cleanse while delivering a balanced boost of hydration and antioxidants. It’s often the choice for patients who want a refreshing deep clean with added radiance and who may have more sensitive skin that can’t tolerate aggressive exfoliation. Many of our patients actually alternate between the two treatments depending on what their skin needs most at the time, DiamondGlow™ for a thorough polish and pore reset, HydraFacial® for a hydrating glow and ongoing maintenance.

What is it like to get CoolTone treatments at Destination Aesthetics™? Here’s a look at what you can expect each step of the way.
Step 1
Your provider begins with a thorough skin analysis, reviewing your history, sensitivities, and current concerns. Together, you’ll decide whether HydraFacial®, DiamondGlow™, or another DA Skincare protocol best addresses acne and congestion.
Step 2
The session starts with gentle cleansing, followed by controlled exfoliation and vacuum-assisted extraction to clear clogged pores. Clarifying serums are then infused to reduce oil buildup and calm inflammation. Treatments typically take 30–45 minutes.
Step 3
Most patients experience an immediate clean, refreshed glow with only mild pinkness that fades quickly. With a short series, breakouts become less frequent, skin texture smooths, and post-acne marks gradually improve.
Yes. DA Skincare treatments are performed using FDA-cleared devices and professional-grade serums under the care of licensed providers. Protocols are customized for acne-prone and congested skin to ensure effective clearing without harsh irritation. These treatments are considered low-risk, making them safe for a wide range of skin types and ages.
What Are Possible Side Effects?
Most patients begin with a series of 3–4 treatments scheduled every 2–4 weeks. This approach helps calm active breakouts, clear congestion, and reset your skin. Once your complexion is more balanced, we usually recommend monthly visits to maintain clarity and prevent flare-ups, so your results keep improving over time.
Yes, and many of our patients do. Prescription or over-the-counter products can work beautifully alongside professional treatments. During your consultation, your provider will review your routine and adjust the exfoliation depth, device settings, and serum selection to keep your skin balanced and avoid any unnecessary dryness or irritation.
Not at all. One of the benefits of device-assisted treatments is that extractions are far gentler than traditional manual methods. Most patients describe the sensation as light suction or a “vacuum-cleaning” of the pores, and many actually find it relaxing once they realize how comfortable it feels.
You’ll notice cleaner, smoother skin after your very first session. Pores often look smaller, skin feels softer, and breakouts start to calm. For those with more persistent acne or textural concerns, the results build steadily over a short series of treatments, leaving skin clearer, healthier, and more radiant.
Yes. DA Skincare is a safe and effective choice for teens dealing with blackheads, clogged pores, and early breakouts. Treatments are gentle, customizable, and designed to support developing skin. Parents appreciate that it provides a professional option that doesn’t rely on harsh scrubs or overly aggressive products.
To protect your skin, we recommend pausing retinoids, scrubs, or strong acne treatments for 24–48 hours before and after your appointment. After treatment, your skin will feel extra fresh and receptive, so hydration and sun protection are key. A simple moisturizer and daily SPF will go a long way toward keeping your results looking their best.
Results are designed to be subtle and natural. Most colleagues, friends, and family will notice you look refreshed and confident, without realizing you had a treatment.
Yes. Consistency is key. With regular treatments, many patients notice post-acne marks fade and skin texture look smoother. For deeper scarring, your provider may recommend combining DA Skincare with advanced procedures such as microneedling or laser therapy for even more dramatic improvement.
