Discover the top facial treatments for glowing, youthful skin in Hawaii’s heat and humidity. Explore Jet Plasma, BioRePeel, Microchanneling, and more at Facial Xpressions Studio.
Why Your Skin Needs Special Care in Hawaii
Living in paradise comes with its perks—sunshine, beach days, and tropical breezes—but the same things that make Hawaii beautiful can also be tough on your skin.
- Sun exposure leads to early signs of aging and sunspots
- Humidity can cause clogged pores and oily buildup
- Saltwater & sweat can irritate or dry out your skin
At Facial Xpressions Studio in Waipahu, we offer targeted facial treatments designed to address the real-life skincare needs of Hawaii residents. From advanced technologies like Jet Plasma and Microchanneling to luxurious hydration with HydroJelly masks, our facials are curated to help you look radiant in any climate.
Our Most Popular Facial Services — And What They Actually Do
1. Jet Plasma Treatment
Best for: Skin tightening, collagen boosting, acne, rosacea, and pigmentation
Jet Plasma is a no-downtime treatment that uses cold plasma to penetrate deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and remodeling the skin from the inside out.
Why it's great for Hawaii: It reduces inflammation and pigmentation caused by UV exposure while boosting elasticity in humid conditions.
Pro Tip: Jet Plasma is excellent before special events or as a skin reset every 2–4 weeks.
2. BioRePeel Cl3
Best for: Brightening, exfoliating, and deep skin rejuvenation
This cutting-edge peel offers all the benefits of a chemical peel—without visible peeling or downtime. BioRePeel helps treat hyperpigmentation, acne, and dullness while promoting smoother skin.
Why it's great for Hawaii: It gently removes dead skin and helps skin breathe better in humid weather. Plus, it’s safe to use year-round in sunny climates!
Helpful Tip: Pair with a HydroJelly mask to lock in hydration post-peel.
3. Microchanneling (aka Collagen Induction Therapy)
Best for: Reducing fine lines, acne scars, and improving overall texture
Microchanneling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production, using a growth factor serum to enhance results.
Why it's great for Hawaii: The humidity can slow skin cell turnover—this wakes up your skin’s renewal process for a more even, smooth complexion.
Aftercare Tip: Avoid direct sun and ocean water for 48 hours post-treatment. We’ll provide complete aftercare instructions!
4. Face & Neck Lifting with Microcurrent Technology
Best for: Sagging skin, loss of firmness, and preventative anti-aging
Using gentle electrical stimulation, we tone the muscles beneath the skin and increase lymphatic drainage—giving you a lifted, refreshed look.
Why it's great for Hawaii: This non-invasive “workout” for your face gives you long-lasting definition and reduces puffiness in our warm, humid environment.
Helpful Tip: Regular sessions offer cumulative results. It’s like Pilates for your skin!
5. HydroJelly Mask Add-On
Best for: Instant hydration, calming redness, and glow enhancement
HydroJelly masks are cooling, hydrating, and nutrient-rich, applied after a facial to soothe skin and replenish moisture.
Why it's great for Hawaii: Salt, sun, and wind can leave your skin feeling thirsty. HydroJelly masks infuse your skin with electrolytes and botanical extracts for a dewy, refreshed finish.
Client Favorite: Add a HydroJelly mask to any facial for an extra boost of “glow.”
What to Expect at Your Facial Appointment
Whether it’s your first time or you’re a returning client, here’s how our treatments typically flow:
- Consultation – We’ll analyze your skin and discuss your concerns and goals

Helpful Facial Tips for Hawaii Clients
- Drink water before and after your treatment to support skin hydration
- Avoid the beach or intense sun for at least 24–48 hours post-treatment

- Don’t pick or exfoliate at home after professional services
- Come with clean skin, no makeup if possible, for the best results
