What is Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive exfoliation treatment performed by a licensed esthetician using a sterile surgical-grade blade. With precise, feather-light strokes, we gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with vellus hair — commonly known as peach fuzz. The result? Instantly smoother, brighter skin with a refined texture that your products and treatments can actually penetrate.
Which Facial is Right for Your Skin
The best facial is not determined by a trendy treatment name. It depends on what your skin is doing today, what concerns you want to address, your sensitivity, and your long-term goals. Someone with oily skin can also be dehydrated. Sensitive skin can still experience congestion. Mature skin may need hydration, exfoliation, firmness support, or all three. If you're unsure where to begin, Citrine's What Facial Is Best for My Skin Type? guide can help you understand your options before your appointment.
Not Sure Which Facial to Choose? Here is Where to Start.
If you've never had a professional facial, you do not need to know exactly which treatment you need before arriving.
The People's Signature is specifically positioned as a strong choice for first-time clients, and a consultation can provide additional time to discuss your current routine, sensitivities, expectations, and skin goals.
Before your appointment, it can be helpful to think about:
- Your biggest skin concern
- How your skin normally feels throughout the day
- Products you currently use
- Any sensitivity or reactions you have experienced
- Professional treatments you've recently received
- What you would most like to improve

What Raleigh Clients Say About Their Facial Experience
Choosing a facial spa is about more than the treatment menu. Personalized care, professional expertise, trust, and feeling heard all matter. Here's what Citrine clients have shared about their experiences.
“I have very sensitive skin and 10+ allergies, which can make it difficult to find somewhere willing to work with my allergy list. From the very first appointment, my aesthetician had a plan for what products would be safe for me. She ensures my facials are effective and regularly proposes how we can change things up. I sincerely appreciate the attention to detail and high quality service. I’m extremely picky about my skin care, and Citrine has been wonderful.”

“I can’t recommend Mary Alice enough! She’s the only person I trust with my face. Every facial feels completely customized because she always assesses what my skin needs that day instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I always leave feeling so hydrated and glowy. My skin has never looked better!”

“I've been going to Citrine for various treatments for almost 3 years now and have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experiences! Specifically, Paige and Skyelar provide quality care, listening to my skin concerns and adjusting treatments as needed. Beyond that, they are friendly, kind and attentive, and I always leave the salon feeling my best. I cannot recommend Citrine enough!”

“I’ve been going to this spa for the last few months and working with Brittany, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. I started monthly facials in preparation for my wedding this April, and she has been absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process. Brittany really listens to my concerns, takes the time to explain everything, and tailors each treatment to what my skin actually needs. She’s also helped guide me in making smart choices for my at-home skincare routine so I can maintain results between visits. I’ve noticed such a difference in my skin, and I feel so much more confident going into my wedding. I’m so glad I found this spa and Brittany, she’s the best!”
