We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.

How is Better Reset Men’s Facial different from a regular facial?

Better Reset is engineered for male skin, which tends to be thicker, oilier, and more prone to congestion and shave irritation. The products, pressure, and techniques are tailored for facial hair, grooming habits, and a results-first mindset, so you leave with cleaner pores and a clear game plan for simple at-home care.

Do I need to shave before my appointment?

Light stubble is completely fine, but avoid a very close shave within a few hours of your facial to reduce sensitivity. If you prefer to shave, doing so the night before usually gives the best access for extractions and treatment while keeping the skin comfortable.

Is Better Reset good for acne-prone or oily skin?

Yes, this facial is ideal for men with blackheads, breakouts, and shine because it combines deep cleansing, extractions, and oil-balancing steps. For more severe or cystic acne, the Better Med Spa team may recommend an acne-focused protocol or medical consultation to pair with facials.

How often should I book a Better Reset Men’s Facial?

Most men see the best results with a facial every 4–6 weeks to keep pores clear, manage oil, and stay ahead of ingrown hairs and buildup. Better Med Spa memberships and series make it easy to stay consistent and pair your facials with body or wellness services.

Can I combine Better Reset with other Better Med Spa treatments?

Yes, Better Reset Men’s Facial pairs perfectly with LED, light peels, body-contouring, or wellness sessions, and fits seamlessly into memberships that include K-Beauty facials and other med spa services. The team can help design a routine that fits your goals—clearer skin, a sharper jawline, or a full self-care reset.

How It Works

Your Better Reset Men’s Facial begins with a double cleanse and steam to soften facial hair, dissolve oil, and prepare pores for a thorough yet non-abrasive exfoliation. Gentle extractions clear blackheads and congestion, followed by a treatment step such as an enzyme or light peel and a targeted K-Beauty–inspired sheet or gel mask for oil control, hydration, or post-shave calming. A focused neck and facial massage boosts circulation and eases tension, and the facial finishes with serums, moisturizer, and SPF chosen for men’s thicker, often oilier skin and life in the Chicago environment.

What It Targets

Our specialized facial for men targets:

  • Clogged pores, blackheads, and excess oil common in men’s thicker, more sebaceous skin.​
  • Post-shave irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs along the beard area and neck.​
  • Dullness, uneven texture, and “tired” skin from stress, workouts, and city pollution.​
  • Fine lines and early aging from sun exposure, squinting at screens, and inconsistent skincare.​
  • Dehydration and dry patches that coexist with oiliness, especially on the cheeks and forehead.

Benefits

Give your skin the freshness it deserves:

  • Deep cleansing and exfoliation that unclog pores, refine texture, and reduce shine without stripping the skin.​
  • Calms redness from shaving, helps prevent ingrown hairs, and makes future shaves smoother and more comfortable.​
  • Hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier, leaving skin soft, balanced, and resilient rather than tight or greasy.​
  • Targets early aging with techniques and ingredients that support collagen, tone, and elasticity.​
  • Delivers a visible “reset” and glow in a single visit—ideal before events, photos, or key meetings.​
  • Provides real relaxation and stress relief with massage and guided care, supporting both appearance and mental recharge.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease.

"I went in with no clear expectations because it isn't something that I've ever done before. I will definitely be doing it again every time I'm in Chicago for another visit."

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."
