Facials and Skincare in Collierville, Tennessee

With 30+ years of combined experience and three consecutive Best Collierville Clinic awards, we begin every treatment by understanding your skin before recommending options like AquaFirme XS or NouvaDerm. Book your consultation today. Call (901) 457-7891.
Why Professional Facials Outperform At-Home Skincare
At-home skincare maintains results. It doesn’t create them at the same depth. Medical-grade devices like AquaFirme XS and Scarlet SRF penetrate at levels no retail product reaches. Clinical exfoliation removes layers that home scrubs don’t touch, regardless of how often you use them. The ingredient concentrations in ZO Skin Health formulations exceed what’s available over the counter, and our trained providers apply them while reading your skin’s response in real time. A professional skin assessment takes the guesswork out of choosing a treatment. Instead of relying on online advice, you receive recommendations based on your skin concerns and goals. The difference shows up in results that last well beyond the 48-hour glow of a basic spa facial.
What Makes a Medical-Grade Facial Different From a Spa Facial?
At a day spa, a licensed esthetician works with retail products and basic equipment. At our Collierville skin care clinic, Karen Cooksey and Melissa, RN-BSN perform every facial under the medical oversight of Dr. Gina Bray, DO. The devices we use, like AquaFirme XS, Scarlet SRF, and Agnes RF, require clinical training. A day spa doesn’t carry them.
The products are different too. We use ZO Skin Health by Dr. Zein Obagi, formulated to work at the cellular level. That’s what separates a med spa facial in Collierville from a standard spa treatment. The results last longer because the treatment goes deeper.

What Skin Concerns Can Professional Facials Actually Fix?
Over-the-counter products work at the surface. Our facials in Collierville reach the inner layers where real change happens. Here’s what we address:
Sun damage, hormonal shifts, and environmental exposure build up unevenness that lives below what a cleanser reaches.
Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
When skin doesn’t receive proper moisture at the deeper layers, it looks flat and tired no matter what you apply on top.
Dull or Dehydrated Skin
Breakouts keep returning because clogged pores and oil imbalance sit below the surface. Over-the-counter products address the symptom. We address the cause.
Acne and Congestion
Fine lines and firmness loss signal that collagen production has slowed. The skin needs the right professional stimulus to rebuild what time has reduced.
Early Signs of Aging
Rosacea and reactive skin don’t need more products. They need a professional assessment to understand what’s triggering the reaction in the first place.
Sensitivity and Redness
Dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation sit below the surface layer. Brightening products at home reach only the top. The pigmentation underneath stays the same.
Hyperpigmentation
Pollution, screen exposure, and stress hormones break down your skin barrier over time. A moisturizer alone doesn’t repair that.
Environmental Skin Stress
Pregnancy and menopause shift how your skin behaves at a fundamental level. What worked before no longer works the same way, and your skincare needs to reflect where your skin is now.
Post-Hormonal Skin Changes
Which Facial Is Right for Your Skin Concern?
Every skin concern has a treatment that addresses it specifically. Here’s how we match them:
Acne and Congestion
Start with a Deep Cleansing Facial. For stubborn or cystic cases, we add Agnes RF to target the source of breakouts below the surface.
Anti-Aging and Firmness
AquaFirme XS delivers immediate improvement. A Scarlet SRF series builds the structural changes that hold long-term.
Hyperpigmentation
NouvaDerm combined with brightening serum addresses pigmentation at the layer where it actually sits.
Dehydration and Dullness
A single AquaFirme XS session restores hydration and glow the same day.
Sensitivity and Redness
A Hydrating Facial with calming botanicals reduces reactivity without triggering it further.
Texture and Scarring
Collagen P.I.N. microneedling in a planned series rebuilds the skin surface from underneath.
Not sure where your skin fits? A consultation maps your concern to the right treatment before you commit to anything.
Before and After Your Facial at Embrace
Results speak louder than descriptions. The before and after photos below show real clients who came in with specific skin concerns and followed through with a treatment plan built around their skin. Every result shown reflects a personalized plan, not a standard package applied to everyone.
When Will You See Results From Your Facial?
It depends on what you’re treating and which facial you book. AquaFirme XS delivers visible hydration, glow, and improved texture the same day. You leave the appointment looking noticeably different from when you walked in. That’s what makes it a popular choice before events or when you want immediate results without any recovery time.
Structural changes work on a different timeline. Collagen remodeling, pigmentation correction, and firmness improvement from Scarlet SRF or Collagen P.I.N. microneedling build progressively over multiple sessions. Clients who commit to a schedule consistently see results that hold rather than fade.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Testimonials
Why Collierville Clients Choose Embrace for Their Skin
Choosing a provider is about more than finding the latest facial treatment. You want experienced professionals, proven technology, and recommendations that fit your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s why many clients continue to choose Embrace Skin & Wellness.
Three-Time Best Collierville Clinic
Embrace was voted Best Collierville Clinic in the Memphis Most awards for 2023, 2024, and 2025, reflecting the confidence local clients place in our care.
Experienced Medical Team
Our treatments are provided under the medical supervision of Dr. Gina Bray, DO, with care from Karen Cooksey, board-certified electrologist and clinical educator.
Advanced Treatment Technology
We use professional systems including AquaFirme XS, NouvaDerm, Scarlet SRF, Agnes RF, Collagen P.I.N., and Plasmage to address a wide range of skin concerns with personalized treatment plans.
Medical-Grade Skincare
We incorporate ZO Skin Health by Dr. Zein Obagi when appropriate to support your in-office treatments and at-home skincare routine.
Consultation
Every facial begins with a consultation to understand your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend treatments only if they're appropriate for your goals.
How Every Facial Appointment Works at Embrace
Every visit follows a structured clinical process, not a generic menu read from a laminated card.
Skin Consultation and Analysis
We assess your skin type, current concerns, active conditions, and recent treatments before recommending anything. What you had done last month matters for what we do today.
Personalized Treatment Selection
Based on the consultation, we select the facial modality, serum combination, and device protocol specific to your skin that day. Two clients with the same concern leave with different treatment plans.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Cleansing, toning, and any necessary enzyme preparation prime the skin for maximum absorption and treatment effectiveness before we begin.
Clinical Treatment Delivery
Your selected facial is performed using clinical-grade devices and ZO Skin Health medical-grade products by a trained provider under medical supervision.
Home Care Guidance
We recommend the right ZO Skin Health products for your home routine based on what your skin needs between sessions, not a generic list of bestsellers.
Post-Treatment Protocol
Calming, barrier-supportive finishing steps protect the skin after treatment and extend your results beyond the appointment itself.
How Much Do Facials Cost at Embrace Skin & Wellness?
Most people ask about exact prices, but facial treatment costs in Collierville really depend on the treatment type, session duration, and whether a clinical device protocol is included. A single AquaFirme XS session runs differently from a Collagen P.I.N. microneedling series or a combination plan built around multiple concerns. Across our menu, individual sessions and facial packages in Collierville are both available depending on what your skin needs.
At your consultation, we give you honest numbers, so you know the full cost before committing to anything. Ready to get a real number? Call (901) 457-7891 and book your consultation today.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AquaFirme XS facial and how is it different from a HydraFacial?
AquaFirme XS cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, and infuses plant-extracted serums in one session. A HydraFacial runs a fixed proprietary serum protocol. AquaFirme gives us flexibility to select serums based on your specific concern that day rather than running the same sequence on every client.
How often should I get a facial?
Once a month works well for general maintenance. If you’re addressing acne, pigmentation, or collagen loss, a closer schedule builds results faster. We set your treatment frequency at the consultation based on what your skin needs, not a standard recommendation.
What facial is best for acne-prone skin?
A Deep Cleansing Facial clears congestion and rebalances oil production at the surface. For stubborn or cystic breakouts, we add Agnes RF to target the source below the skin. The right combination depends on how your acne presents, which is why we assess first.
What facial is best for anti-aging?
AquaFirme XS improves hydration and glow immediately. Scarlet SRF builds structural results like firmness, collagen, and lift. Most clients working on aging concerns get the best outcome combining both: AquaFirme for regular maintenance and Scarlet SRF for deeper remodeling.
Is there any downtime after a facial at Embrace?
AquaFirme XS and NouvaDerm have zero downtime. Collagen P.I.N. microneedling and Scarlet SRF bring mild redness and sensitivity for a day or two. We walk you through exactly what to expect before your appointment so nothing catches you off guard afterward.
Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin or rosacea?
Yes. Sensitive skin needs the right treatment, not no treatment. We assess your reactivity level first and select modalities that work well with your skin concerns. We start with a Hydrating Facial with calming botanicals for reactive skin types before applying anything more active.
What should I do before my facial appointment?
Stop retinol and active exfoliants at least 48 hours before. Arrive with clean skin. Tell us about recent treatments, active breakouts, or skin reactions before we begin. That information changes what we select for your appointment, so it matters more than most clients expect.
What should I avoid after a facial?
Stay out of direct sun for 24 hours and wear SPF if you go outside. Skip heavy makeup the same day. Do not apply retinol and vitamin C for at least 24 hours. Your skin absorbs more effectively right after a treatment, so what you put on it matters.
What makes Embrace's facials different from a day spa?
The providers, devices, and the products are all different. Karen Cooksey and Melissa, RN-BSN, perform every facial under the medical oversight of Dr. Gina Bray, DO. We use AquaFirme XS, Scarlet SRF, and Agnes RF alongside ZO Skin Health formulations. None of that exists at a standard day spa.
How much do facials cost at Embrace Skin & Wellness?
Pricing depends on treatment type and whether a device protocol is included. A single AquaFirme XS session costs differently from a Scarlet SRF series or a combined plan. We give you exact numbers at your complimentary consultation before you commit to anything.
Do I need to book a consultation before my first facial?
No, but it helps. A consultation lets us assess your skin and match you to the right treatment before your first appointment. It’s complimentary. If you book directly, we still take a few minutes to assess your skin before we begin.
What skincare products does Embrace recommend for home use?
We recommend ZO Skin Health ( the 20 Skin Health line by Dr. Zein Obagi). After your appointment, we suggest specific products based on what your skin responded to in the session. It’s not a generic routine. It’s built around what your skin showed us that day.
Can facials help with hyperpigmentation or dark spots?
Yes. Hyperpigmentation sits below the surface; that’s why brightening products at home make slow progress. NouvaDerm resurfacing combined with brightening serum protocols reaches it where it lives. Results build over a series, and we pair in-clinic treatment with the right home care to keep progress moving.
Who performs the facials at Embrace Skin & Wellness?
Karen Cooksey, our licensed esthetician and clinical educator, and Melissa, RN-BSN, our registered nurse specializing in AquaFirme XS and skin rejuvenation, handle all facial appointments. Dr. Gina Bray, DO, and Dr. Krystle Holliday, DNP, FNP-C, provide medical oversight across every service we offer.
