Quick answer: A facial is a professional skin treatment that cleanses, exfoliates and rebalances your skin to improve its health and appearance. In North Lakes, Iconic Brow Wax N Beauty (the salon near Big W at Westfield) offers two core facials — a plant-based Iconic Herbal Facial and a customised Iconic Signature Facial — plus collagen-boosting Microneedling with LED. The right one depends on your skin type and your goal: calm and hydrate, deep-clean and reset, or treat texture and fine lines over a course.
What is a facial, exactly?
A facial is a multi-step treatment performed by a trained therapist that deep-cleans, exfoliates, treats and hydrates the skin on your face and neck. Unlike your at-home routine, a professional facial reaches deeper, uses higher-grade products, and is tailored to what your skin actually needs on the day. A good facial does three things: removes the build-up your daily cleanser can’t, delivers active ingredients your skin can’t absorb on its own, and gives you an honest read on your skin from someone who looks at it professionally.
The benefits of a regular facial
- Deeper cleansing — clears pores, oil and dead-skin build-up that home products leave behind.
- Smoother texture — professional exfoliation evens out rough, dull or congested skin.
- Better product absorption — clean, exfoliated skin actually takes in serums and moisturisers.
- Targeted treatment — dryness, congestion, dullness and early ageing each get a different approach.
- Genuine relaxation — the massage element lowers stress, and stress shows on your skin.
Facials in North Lakes — your options at Iconic
All facials are at our full salon, Iconic Brow Wax N Beauty, near Big W at Westfield North Lakes. We keep the menu deliberately focused — no confusing list of twenty add-ons, just three treatments that each do a clear job. Current prices are on our pricing page.
Iconic Herbal Facial (45 minutes, from $95)
A plant-based facial that uses herbs, flower and fruit extracts, essential oils and natural oils instead of strong chemical actives. It’s the gentle, calming option — ideal for sensitive, reactive or stressed skin, or anyone who simply prefers a natural approach. Includes a botanical cleanse, herbal exfoliation, a relaxing face and décolletage massage, a plant-based mask and natural finishing oils.
Iconic Signature Facial (60 minutes, from $110)
Our customised facial and the one most people book — a proper reset for everyday skin, tailored to your skin type on the day rather than a one-size template. Includes a deep double cleanse, exfoliation suited to your skin, a relaxing face and décolletage massage, a targeted treatment mask, and finishing serums with SPF. If you’re not sure which facial you need, start here and we’ll guide you.
Microneedling + LED (75 minutes, from $160)
Not a relaxation facial — a results treatment. Fine sterile needles create controlled micro-channels that trigger your skin’s collagen repair, paired with red LED light to calm and stimulate healing. It targets texture, scarring and fine lines, and works best over a course of three to six sessions rather than as a one-off. Expect mild redness for 24–48 hours. There’s a full explainer in our microneedling guide.
Which facial is right for your skin?
| If your main goal is… | Book this |
|---|---|
| Calm, hydrate, sensitive or reactive skin | Iconic Herbal Facial |
| A deep clean and all-round reset | Iconic Signature Facial |
| First facial / not sure what you need | Iconic Signature Facial |
| Texture, scarring, fine lines | Microneedling + LED (course) |
| An event in a few days | Signature Facial (not microneedling) |
How often should you get a facial?
For general skin health, every four to six weeks works for most people — that matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle. If you’re treating a specific concern with microneedling, follow the recommended course spacing (usually three to four weeks apart) rather than the relaxation-facial rhythm. A one-off facial before an event still helps; just book a Signature Facial a few days ahead, not a microneedling session.
How to get the most from your facial
- Come with clean skin if you can, and skip heavy makeup.
- Tell your therapist your goals and any reactions or allergies — it changes the products we choose.
- Avoid retinol or strong exfoliants for a few days beforehand, especially before microneedling.
- Don’t book a first-time strong treatment right before an event — leave room for your skin to settle.
- Follow the aftercare — SPF and gentle products protect the result.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a facial cost in North Lakes?
At Iconic, facials start from $95 for the Herbal Facial, with the Signature Facial and Microneedling + LED priced higher. See the current pricing page for exact figures, as prices are reviewed periodically.
Which facial is best for sensitive skin?
The Iconic Herbal Facial. It’s plant-based and avoids strong chemical actives, which makes it the gentlest option for sensitive, reactive or stressed skin.
How long does a facial take?
Between 45 and 75 minutes depending on the treatment — the Herbal Facial is around 45 minutes, the Signature Facial 60, and Microneedling + LED about 75.
Will I see results after one facial?
You’ll usually see brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin straight after a Herbal or Signature Facial. Microneedling is different — it works cumulatively over a course, so the visible change builds across sessions rather than appearing after one.
Can I get a facial and another treatment on the same day?
For relaxation facials, often yes — many clients pair a facial with brows or lashes. Microneedling is best on its own day so your skin isn’t doing too much at once. Mention what you’d like when you book and we’ll sort the timing.
Do you offer facials at the kiosk near Myer?
No — facials are available only at our full salon near Big W. The kiosk near Myer handles brows and lashes.
