Clinical Facials in Nashville
Cortina Dermatology & Aesthetics offers clinical facials for patients seeking skin clarity, hydration, smoother texture, acne prone skin support, and a customized skincare plan in a dermatology setting.
More Than a Spa Facial
Clinical facials at Cortina are designed to support skin health, skin clarity, and treatment goals within a dermatology environment.
Your facial may be customized based on your skin type, sensitivity, acne tendency, dryness, congestion, redness, product use, and whether you are also following a medical or cosmetic dermatology plan.
Why Patients Choose Clinical Facials
Skin Clarity
For patients looking to support clearer looking skin, reduce congestion, and refresh the skin surface.
Hydration and Barrier Support
For dry, dull, or stressed skin that may benefit from a treatment focused on hydration and comfort.
Acne Prone Skin Support
For patients with breakouts, clogged pores, or acne prone skin who need a thoughtful approach to skincare support.
The Right Facial Depends on Your Skin
Not every patient needs the same facial. Some patients need hydration and barrier support, while others need help with congestion, dullness, rough texture, acne prone skin, or skincare routine confusion.
Clinical facials can also support patients who are preparing for or maintaining results from cosmetic treatments, lasers, or medical acne care.
What a Clinical Facial May Include
Skin Assessment
Your visit may begin with a review of your skin concerns, product routine, sensitivity, breakouts, dryness, and treatment goals.
Customized Treatment
Your treatment may focus on cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, extractions when appropriate, calming, or skin barrier support.
Skincare Guidance
Your provider or aesthetic team may help simplify your skincare routine and recommend products that fit your skin and goals.
Clinical Facials Can Support Acne Care
For acne prone skin, clinical facials may help support pore clarity, congestion management, and skincare consistency. They are not a replacement for medical acne care when acne is persistent, cystic, painful, or scarring.
If acne is active or leaving marks, we may recommend starting with a medical visit or pairing facials with an acne treatment plan. You can also learn more on our Acne & Acne Scarring page.
One Visit or Ongoing Skin Maintenance
Some patients schedule clinical facials before an event, after travel, or when their skin feels congested, dull, or dehydrated.
Others use clinical facials as part of a recurring maintenance plan alongside medical dermatology, cosmetic treatments, lasers, or a professional skincare routine.
Pricing & Insurance
Clinical facials are elective cosmetic skincare treatments and are self pay. Insurance does not cover cosmetic facial treatments.
During your visit, the team can review treatment options, skincare recommendations, maintenance timing, and pricing.
Clinical Facial Questions
What is a clinical facial?
A clinical facial is a customized skincare treatment performed in a dermatology setting to support skin clarity, hydration, texture, acne prone skin, and overall skin quality.
Is a clinical facial the same as medical acne treatment?
No. Clinical facials can support acne prone skin, but persistent, cystic, painful, or scarring acne may need a medical dermatology visit and prescription treatment plan.
How often should I get a clinical facial?
It depends on your skin, goals, sensitivity, acne tendency, and skincare routine. Some patients come occasionally, while others use facials as part of ongoing maintenance.
Are clinical facials covered by insurance?
No. Clinical facials are elective cosmetic skincare treatments and are self pay.
