Scientifique: Chemical Peel, Nanoneedling & Luminfusion
Our advanced treatment services require healthy, prepared skin to deliver safe, beautiful results. All chemical peel and nanoneedling services must be preceded by a skin consultation — The Chat — to ensure your safety and maximize outcomes.
The Chat — Chemical Peel & Nanoneedling Consultation
Credited toward your treatment if booked within 24 hrs
Have questions about chemical peels or nanoneedling? Start here. The Chat was created for guests who are curious about these advanced treatments. Your skin needs to be healthy and properly prepared — otherwise, results can yield complications instead of solutions.
During your consultation your esthetician will:
- Perform a thorough skin analysis to determine if you're a candidate
- Educate you on products best suited for your daily regimen
- Conduct allergy testing (if applicable)
- Create a personalized treatment plan including timing and frequency
* A consultation is REQUIRED prior to booking a chemical peel or nanoneedling session. If you schedule a chemical peel without completing The Chat, your appointment will be changed to The Chat.
** If you'd like a service the same day as your consultation, consider adding on a facial.
Peeling Away Years: Classic Facial + Chemical Peel
Hit the refresh button on your skin. This treatment is ideal for bringing health back to thin, delicate, sun-damaged, dehydrated, dull, aging, and acne-prone skin. Medical-grade peels and treatment products packed with antioxidants help protect skin stem cells, reduce eye contour wrinkles, combat chronological aging, limit collagen degradation, and repair DNA.
Varying strengths and blends allow your practitioner to select the appropriate peel for your skin type and condition. Our formulations consider the entire skin health picture. Estheticians who offer this service are specially trained.
A series of treatments is recommended for optimal results.
⚠️ The Chat must be scheduled and completed prior to receiving your chemical peel at Gifted Hands. During The Chat, your esthetician assesses your skin and performs an allergy test to ensure your safety. Your safety is our number one priority.

Frequently Asked Questions — Facials & Skincare Near Bear, DE
What facial services do you offer near Bear, DE?
We offer a full skincare menu including the Signature 60-Minute Facial (7 types), Signature+ 75-Minute Facial with advanced upgrades, Classic 60-Minute Facial, The Gentleman's Facial with LED Light Therapy, Petite 30-Minute Express Facial, Youthful Facial for teens, Chemical Peels, and The Chat skin consultation. All services are available at our Newark, DE location just minutes from Bear.
Which facial is best for acne-prone skin?
We recommend the Deep Dive Clearing Facial within our Signature service for active breakouts and congestion. For persistent or hormonal acne, the Chemical Peel (Peeling Away Years) is highly effective — though it requires The Chat consultation first. Teens with acne will benefit from the Youthful Facial specifically designed for adolescent skin. Your esthetician will help confirm the best fit during your consultation.
Do I need a consultation before a chemical peel?
Yes — The Chat ($30) is required before any chemical peel or nanoneedling treatment. This isn't just a formality; it includes a professional skin analysis, allergy testing if applicable, and a customized treatment plan. The $30 fee is credited toward your treatment if you book within 24 hours. If you schedule a peel without completing The Chat first, your appointment will be converted to a consultation.
How often should I get a facial?
Most estheticians recommend a facial every 4–6 weeks to align with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Clients maintaining chemical peel results may space visits further apart, while those targeting active acne or congestion may benefit from more frequent visits initially. Your esthetician will recommend a schedule tailored to your skin's needs.
What enhancements can I add to my facial?
Several advanced modalities are available as add-ons depending on your service. For the Signature facial: Glow & Go Microdermabrasion (+$15), LED Phototherapy (+$15), Enzyme Exfoliation (+$10), Microcurrency (+$15), Gua Sha (+$15). The Signature+ includes upgrade options such as Dermaplaning + Enzyme (+$15), Microdermabrasion + Enzyme (+$10), Microcurrent (+$15), and LED Phototherapy (+$15). Scalp, hand, or foot therapies are also available on select services.
Do you offer facials for men near Newark, DE?
Absolutely. The Gentleman's Facial is specifically designed for men's skin and is fully beard-friendly. It addresses shaving damage, ingrown hairs, inflammation, razor burn, dullness, and environmental stress — all through a tailored cleanse, exfoliation, deep pore treatment, and finishing LED light therapy. It's one of our most popular services and available at $125 for Lifestyle members.
Can my teenager get a facial at Gifted Hands?
Yes! The Youthful Facial is specifically for guests ages 13–17. It targets hormonal acne, oily skin, clogged pores, and breakouts in a nurturing 40-minute session. For ages 13–15, a guardian must remain in the room throughout the service. For ages 16–17, a guardian must remain on the premises. The service is $65 and does not include modalities or enhancements.
What should I do after my facial?
Keep it simple for 24–48 hours after your facial. Avoid heavy makeup, direct sun exposure, strenuous sweating, and harsh exfoliants. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily — especially after any exfoliation or peel treatment. Stay hydrated, avoid picking at any minor purging, and follow the home-care recommendations your esthetician provides. You may notice slight redness immediately after, which typically resolves within a few hours.
