When it comes to facials, the choices can feel overwhelming. You may wonder: should I book a relaxing spa facial, or will a medical facial give me better results? While both offer benefits, they serve very different purposes. At The Surgeon’s Spa, with locations in Beachwood and Westlake, our team blends the comfort of a boutique setting with advanced, evidence-based treatments to help your skin look and feel its best.
Spa facials are designed primarily for relaxation and surface-level improvement. They typically include cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and hydration. These treatments are wonderful for unwinding, cleansing, moisturizing, and refreshing your skin’s appearance.

Because they are rooted in science and supported by years of clinical expertise, medical facials provide visible, lasting improvements that spa facials simply cannot achieve.
At The Surgeon’s Spa, we don’t ask you to choose between results and relaxation—you can have both. Led by triple-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Goldman, our team combines over 20 years of plastic surgery and skin care expertise with the serene environment of a boutique spa. Whether you’re interested in a HydraFacial™ for advanced hydration and exfoliation, a Glow2™ facial for serum delivery, or a custom treatment plan designed for your unique concerns, we take the time to understand your goals and tailor every detail to you.
Our philosophy is comprehensive, individualized, and always centered on your well-being. That’s what makes the difference between a simple spa service and a transformative medical spa experience.
Choosing between a spa facial and a medical facial doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re looking to relax and refresh, a spa facial may be right for you. But if you want to address specific concerns, achieve long-term results, and benefit from advanced techniques in a luxurious setting, a medical facial is the answer.
