Chemical Peels, Customized Facials and Targeted Skin Treatments
Beautiful skin does more than make a first impression; it reflects balance, confidence and care. At Vega Plastic Surgery & MedSpa in Rochester, NY, we combine advanced techniques with relaxing, personalized care to help you achieve a healthy glow that lasts.
Our facials, peels and resurfacing treatments aren’t just surface-level solutions. They address the deeper factors that influence skin quality, including sun damage, stress, hormonal changes and collagen loss. Whether you want to correct visible damage or maintain your natural radiance, Vega MedSpa offers professional treatments that work with your lifestyle, not against it.
Your Journey
Where Advanced Science Meets Personalized Care
What makes our medical spa different goes beyond our technology; it’s the expertise and care behind every treatment. Our aestheticians are medically trained in advanced skin biology, chemical exfoliation and customized rejuvenation protocols. They know how to balance effectiveness with comfort, ensuring your skin receives the right level of treatment for safe, optimal results.
We also believe in transparency and education. During your consultation, we take the time to explain your options, answer your questions and recommend a personalized treatment plan that suits your skin, budget and long-term goals. Our focus is on building trust through results and helping you feel confident in every aspect of your care.
Your Vega Consultation
See Your Skin Like Never Before
Every effective skincare plan starts with understanding exactly what your skin needs. That’s why we’ve invested in VISIA® Complexion Analysis, an advanced imaging system that reveals what’s happening beneath the surface of your skin.
During your consultation, the VISIA system captures multi-spectral images of your face, analyzing eight key areas of complexion health: spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots (sun damage not yet visible to the naked eye), brown spots, red areas and bacterial presence (porphyrins). The system then compares your results against a database of individuals with similar skin type, age and background, giving you a clear picture of how your skin measures up and where improvement is possible.
This data-driven approach takes the guesswork out of skincare. Your aesthetician can pinpoint exactly which concerns to prioritize and recommend treatments backed by objective analysis. Whether you’re dealing with hidden sun damage, early signs of aging or stubborn pigmentation, VISIA helps us create a targeted plan that delivers real, measurable results.
Best of all, we can track your progress over time. Comparing before-and-after VISIA scans shows exactly how your skin responds to treatment, helping us refine your plan and celebrate your improvements along the way.

Chemical Peels: Professional Exfoliation for a Brighter Complexion
Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate and refine your skin. By gently removing the outermost layer of dead cells, peels reveal the smoother, more even skin beneath while stimulating collagen and elastin production for long-term results.
Benefits of Chemical Peels:
Brighten dull or uneven skin tone
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation
Improve skin elasticity and hydration
Enhance the absorption of skincare products
Chemical peels offer powerful skin transformation without always requiring visible peeling. Many patients believe that “no peel = no results,” but that’s one of the biggest myths in aesthetics. Chemical peels work at a cellular level to brighten, smooth and rejuvenate the skin — even when shedding is minimal.
At Vega, we offer the full range of chemical peels:
Gentle, no-downtime peels for monthly maintenance and radiance
Corrective peels for pigmentation, texture, and fine lines
Advanced clinical peels that deliver results comparable to CO₂ laser resurfacing
Our medical-grade formulas can be tailored for everything from gentle “lunchtime” peels to more intensive corrective treatments for sun damage or texture concerns. Your aesthetician customizes the acid type, strength and layers to match your goals, providing a safe, effective and personalized experience. Whether you want a quick glow for a special event or deep correction for ongoing skin health, there’s a peel for every skin type and comfort level.
DiamondGlow®: The 3-in-1 Skin Resurfacing Treatment
DiamondGlow goes beyond a traditional facial with its patented 3-in-1 technology that exfoliates, extracts and infuses in a single pass. Using a precision diamond-tip wand and professional-grade SkinMedica® serums, this treatment delivers deep purification, improved hydration and visible radiance after just one session.
How DiamondGlow Works:
The diamond-tip technology allows your aesthetician to customize the level of exfoliation to your skin’s needs, from gentle polishing to more advanced resurfacing. As the wand glides across your skin, a high-powered vacuum system lifts debris, congestion and excess oil from the pores without irritation. Simultaneously, one of several targeted SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums is delivered directly into the freshly exfoliated skin for maximum absorption.
Serum Options Include:
Hydration and plumping for dry or dehydrated skin
Brightening and tone correction for dull or uneven complexions
Redness reduction for sensitive or reactive skin
Clarifying for acne-prone or congested pores
Vitamin C for luminosity and antioxidant protection
What DiamondGlow Improves:
Uneven texture and roughness
Dull or dehydrated skin
Clogged or enlarged pores
Fine lines
Mild discoloration
Acne-prone or congested skin
Puffiness and fluid retention (with lymphatic drainage)
DiamondGlow Lymphatic Drainage Massage
DiamondGlow now features an advanced lymphatic drainage massage setting designed to reduce facial puffiness, improve circulation, support detoxification and enhance facial contour. This gentle technique promotes the skin’s natural lymphatic flow, leaving you sculpted and refreshed.
DiamondGlow is nonsurgical and customizable for sensitive, acne-prone and aging skin, making it an ideal monthly maintenance treatment or a quick “event-ready” glow. Most clients see instant radiance, smoother texture and a fresh, hydrated feel, with results that continue to improve over time.
DermaSweep: Advanced Resurfacing With Customized Infusion
The DermaSweep system offers a next-generation approach to microdermabrasion that’s gentler and more versatile than traditional crystal-based systems. Using soft, bristle-tipped wands in varying textures, this treatment provides controlled mechanical exfoliation while simultaneously infusing targeted serums deep into the skin.
How DermaSweep Works:
The patented bristle-tip technology creates gentle suction that lifts and removes dead skin cells, debris and impurities from the surface. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion that blasts crystals onto the skin, DermaSweep’s bristle tips provide a more comfortable experience with precise control over exfoliation intensity. As the wand works, it simultaneously delivers customized serum blends through a unique infusion system, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively into freshly resurfaced skin.
Customizable Treatment Options:
Your aesthetician selects the appropriate bristle tip and serum combination based on your concerns:
Hydrating infusions restore moisture and plumpness to dry, dehydrated skin
Brightening solutions target discoloration, sun damage and uneven tone
Clarifying formulas help control oil production and minimize breakouts
Anti-aging serums deliver peptides and antioxidants to address fine lines and loss of firmness
Vitamin C infusions boost radiance and provide antioxidant protection
What DermaSweep Improves:
Dull, lackluster complexion
Rough or uneven texture
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Mild acne and congestion
Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Dehydrated skin
With no downtime and visible results after one treatment, DermaSweep is ideal for those seeking smoother texture, smaller pores and a healthy, polished glow. The treatment works beautifully as a standalone service or as part of our VIP Glow and combination protocols.
Customized Facials: Tailored Solutions for Every Skin Concern
No two complexions are identical, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all facials. At Vega MedSpa, every facial begins with a thorough skin analysis and conversation about your concerns, allowing your aesthetician to customize each step of your treatment. Your aesthetician selects customized serums, masks and finishing products to deliver maximum results while prioritizing your skin’s health and comfort.
Our facials can be tailored to address a wide range of concerns, including:
Anti-aging: Target fine lines, loss of elasticity and dullness with peptide-rich serums and firming masks
Tone and texture: Smooth rough patches, minimize pore appearance and even out skin tone
Acne and congestion: Deep cleansing, extractions and purifying masks that clear pores, soothe inflammation and balance oil production without over-drying
Rosacea: Gentle, calming treatments that reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier
Melasma and brightening: Fade stubborn discoloration and reveal a more luminous complexion
Hydration: Restore moisture balance for dehydrated, stressed or sensitized skin
Relaxation: Aromatherapy towels and a soothing massage offer the perfect balance of indulgence and results
Whether you’re a teenager navigating hormonal breakouts, a busy professional maintaining your glow or someone addressing the visible effects of sun damage and aging, we design each facial around your unique needs.
VIP Glow: Red-Carpet Radiance
When you want that unmistakable glow, our VIP Glow treatment delivers. Inspired by the layered approach of Korean skincare, this multi-step facial begins with double cleansing to prepare your skin. Next comes deep exfoliation through our DermaSweep system, which also infuses customized serums directly into your skin for maximum absorption and impact.
For those seeking an extra boost, we can add a gentle gel peel, but it’s entirely optional. Unlike traditional chemical peels, these modern formulations work gently alongside the other treatment steps. Each VIP Glow is hand-selected for your skin’s specific needs, creating a truly personalized experience. Originally introduced as a limited promotion, our VIP Glow quickly became one of our signature offerings and the ultimate pre-event treatment for radiant, camera-ready skin.
Go & Glow: Maintenance for Everyday Radiance
The Go & Glow Facial is designed for regular upkeep. It combines gentle exfoliation and hydration to keep your complexion balanced between more intensive treatments. Quick, comfortable and effective, it’s perfect for patients who want to maintain a healthy glow year-round.
Signature Facial: Relax, Restore & Rejuvenate
The Signature Facial is our most requested experience, and for good reason. This personalized treatment blends medical-grade skincare with pure relaxation. After a deep cleanse and exfoliation, your aesthetician analyzes your skin and selects customized serums, masks and finishing products to deliver maximum radiance.
Aromatherapy towels, relaxing massage and targeted hydration complete the experience, leaving your skin soft, supple and refreshed. It is the perfect balance of indulgence and results.
Express Facial: A Quick Refresh for Busy Lives
When time is short but your skin needs a boost, the Express Facial delivers instant refreshment in less than an hour. After a quick consultation, we cleanse, exfoliate and apply a tailored mask to enhance glow and hydration. It is an excellent option for maintaining your results between deeper treatments or preparing for a last-minute event.
Teen Facial: Healthy Skin Starts Early
Our Teen Facial is designed to educate patients and treat acne simultaneously. Perfect for pre-teens and teenagers managing hormonal skin changes, this facial gently clears pores, balances oil production and soothes inflammation. This unique facial helps teens feel confident and informed while addressing common concerns such as oiliness and hormonal breakouts.
Back Facial: Confidence From Every Angle
Smooth, clear skin isn’t just for the face. Our Back Facial offers the same professional cleansing and exfoliation as our facial treatments, but it specifically targets one of the most challenging areas of the body.
This treatment includes steam cleansing, exfoliation, extractions (if needed) and a purifying mask that refines texture and clears congestion. Whether you’re preparing for a back-revealing dress or simply prioritizing self-care, you’ll love the clean, polished results.
Dermaplaning is a favorite among makeup artists, skincare professionals and anyone who wants instantly smoother skin. Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise 45-degree angle, your aesthetician gently removes dead surface cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) in careful, controlled strokes.
What Dermaplaning Does:
Instantly smooths skin texture for a soft, refined feel
Removes fine facial hair that can trap dirt, oil and makeup
Enhances product absorption, allowing serums and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively
Creates a flawless canvas for makeup application
Brightens dull complexions by removing the buildup of dead skin cells
Unlike shaving, dermaplaning is performed with a specialized blade designed specifically for facial exfoliation. The treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it perfect for a quick refresh before a special event or as part of your regular skincare routine. Many patients combine dermaplaning with chemical peels or facials for amplified results.
Healthy skin does not stop at the jawline. Our Body Polish treatment smooths and hydrates your skin from head to toe, leaving it looking and feeling its best. The process includes a relaxing aromatherapy oil massage, exfoliation with mineral-rich salts and a final application of nourishing moisturizer.
It is a rejuvenating ritual that leaves you glowing, soft and refreshed — perfect for before vacations or events, or simply to treat yourself.
Enhance any facial or skin treatment with red light therapy, a noninvasive add-on that uses specific wavelengths of light to support skin health at the cellular level.
Red light therapy works by stimulating the mitochondria in your skin cells, promoting increased energy production and cellular regeneration. This gentle treatment helps:
Accelerate healing after peels and resurfacing treatments
Reduce inflammation and calm redness
Support collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin
Improve overall skin tone and radiance
Minimize the appearance of fine lines over time
The treatment is completely painless and requires no downtime. It’s particularly beneficial after chemical peels, microneedling or any treatment where skin recovery is a priority.
Healthy skin thrives on consistency and balance. At Vega MedSpa, we often enhance results by combining treatments that complement each other. For example, dermaplaning performed before a chemical peel removes surface buildup, allowing the peel to penetrate more evenly and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. Adding a DermaSweep or Go & Glow Facial between deeper treatments keeps the skin hydrated, polished and resilient over time.
This layered approach enables us to address multiple concerns (like tone, texture and elasticity) in a single plan, while minimizing downtime. Your aesthetic provider will create a personalized sequence that fits your skin goals and schedule for lasting, luminous results.
