How much do medical-grade facials cost in San Diego?
Medical-grade facials at SOM Aesthetics in Encinitas are priced per treatment, typically about $75–$350 depending on the facial and add-ons. DiamondGlow, chemical peels, and signature facials can be booked à la carte or as a monthly skin-maintenance plan, and many patients pair them with injectables or laser. The SOM clinical team builds your plan in consultation.

DiamondGlow vs. Chemical Peel vs. Signature.
All three brighten and renew skin, but they differ in how they exfoliate and how much downtime they involve. Here is how to choose.
How medical-grade facials work.
Unlike a spa facial, a medical-grade facial uses clinical-strength exfoliation, extractions, and active ingredients chosen for your skin. Treatments like DiamondGlow resurface and infuse serums at once, while peels use targeted acids to renew the surface and fade pigment.
At SOM, every facial is designed by a dermatologist-led team and adjusted to your skin that day, calming when sensitive, more active when resilient. Facials work best on a regular cadence and pair beautifully with injectables and lasers.
Estimate your facial investment.
Pricing depends on the facial, add-ons, and whether you book à la carte or a monthly plan. Use this as a planning guide, your actual plan is finalized in consultation.
