If Healthy Skin Is Your Goal This Year, You’re Not Alone
Every January, we see the same pattern at Sanctuary Skin: clients coming in feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or defeated by skin concerns they’ve been dealing with for years.
Chronic breakouts.Persistent redness.Pigmentation that never fades. Texture, scarring, or early aging that no product seems to fix.
If one of your New Year’s goals is to finally have clearer, healthier, more confident skin, this is the perfect time to start—and you don’t have to do it alone.
Why Chronic Skin Issues Are So Hard to Fix on Your Own
Many clients come to us after trying everything: drugstore products, online routines, influencer recommendations, and even prescription treatments—with little to no lasting improvement.
That’s because most ongoing skin issues are not surface-level problems. They involve:
Inflammation
Barrier dysfunction
Bacterial imbalance
Collagen breakdown
Pigment irregularities
Without professional guidance and personalized, corrective treatments, the skin often stays stuck in a cycle of flare-ups and temporary fixes.
The good news? Skin can change—when the right treatments and routines are used consistently.
Why the New Year Is the Best Time to Start Your Skin Journey
The beginning of the year is ideal for corrective skincare because:
Sun exposure is lower
Clients are more consistent with routines
Skin has more time to heal and remodel
Long-term results can build gradually to show off by Spring and Summer
Starting now allows your skin to reset, strengthen, and improve over the coming months—rather than reacting to issues as they pop up.
Corrective Treatments That Help You Reach Your Skin Goals
At Sanctuary Skin in Virginia Beach, we focus on treatments that create real, lasting change—not quick fixes. Below are some of the most effective options for clients ready to commit to healthier skin this year.

First Glow Facial – The Perfect Starting Point
Best for: New clients, sensitive skin, overwhelmed routines
Our First Glow Facial is designed to assess your skin, calm inflammation, and restore balance. It allows our team to understand how your skin behaves and begin building a long-term plan tailored to you. This treatment has additional time for an in-depth consultation, a complimentary add-on for boosted results, AND discounts on products purchased.
Aerolase Neo Elite Laser – Clear, Calm, and Even Skin
Best for: Acne, redness, rosacea, pigment, early aging
The Aerolase Neo Elite is one of the most versatile lasers available. It targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and vascularity, fades pigment, and stimulates collagen—all with no downtime and safe for all skin tones.
It’s an excellent option for clients who feel stuck with persistent breakouts or red and brown pigment that won’t resolve. This treatment is for clients who are ready to see result quickly with no downtime.
Microneedling – Texture, Scars, and Collagen Repair
Best for: Acne scarring, texture, fine lines, large pores
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. Over time, this helps soften scars, smooth texture, and strengthen the skin structure.
Results build with a series, making it ideal for clients ready to commit to visible improvement, and for those who aren't afraid of a little downtime if it means major improvements!

DMK Enzyme Therapy – Skin Health from the Inside Out
Best for: Aging, acne, barrier repair, compromised skin
DMK Enzyme Therapy works differently than traditional facials. It stimulates circulation, oxygenation, and lymphatic drainage while encouraging the skin to function as it was designed to.
This treatment focuses on skin health, not just appearance—making it a powerful option for long-term results.
This is ideal for clients who need deep corrective care for multiple skin concerns.
Your New Year Skin Resolution Needs a Plan
The clients who see the best results aren’t chasing trends—they’re following a plan.
That usually includes:
Corrective treatments spaced appropriately
A customized home-care routine
Consistency over time
Adjustments as the skin improves
Beautiful, healthy skin isn’t achieved overnight—but it is achievable when the right steps are taken.
Make This the Year You Stop Guessing
If you’re tired of feeling frustrated by your skin and ready to make a real change, this is your sign to start. The beginning of the year is about investing in yourself—and your skin is worth it.
At Sanctuary Skin in Virginia Beach, we specialize in helping clients move from chronic concerns to confident, healthy skin through education, corrective treatments, and thoughtful care.
