In the world of facials, it’s rare to find something that truly changes the game. The CellStory Facial by Joanna Vargas is not your standard cleanse-steam-mask situation. It is next-gen skin therapy that rewrites the rules on how to lift, brighten, and retexturize your skin without any pain.

This is the facial that delivers real results in 72 hours. The one that makes you wake up and say, “Oh, so this is what my skin is supposed to look like.”

What Is the CellStory Facial?

At its core, the CellStory Facial is a 60-minute, non-invasive treatment that uses a patented delivery system called Microspear™, a network of 50,000 microneedles derived from freshwater sponges. Unlike traditional microneedling, there’s no numbing, no bleeding, and no recovery time.

Instead, Microspear creates precise microchannels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more deeply and effectively. Over the next 72 hours, your skin naturally exfoliates the microspears, prompting fresh cell turnover and collagen production while infusing your complexion with radiance, firmness and bounce.

Think of it as microneedling’s cooler, cleaner, more efficient cousin.

CELLSTORY FACIAL

What It Fixes (Because This Is More Than a Glow)

This facial isn’t just for special occasions—it is corrective skincare at its chicest.

Dullness and Texture

If your skin feels rough, dry, or generally “meh,” CellStory retexturizes the surface and wakes everything up from the inside out. The exfoliation is gentle, continuous and fully controlled by your skin.

Anti-aging

Fine lines, uneven tone and laxity are no match for this treatment. Microspear triggers collagen renewal without stressing the skin barrier, giving you a lifted, firmer look in days, not months.

Breakouts and Post-Acne Scarring

The targeted microchannels and active delivery system help calm inflammation, reduce congestion, and speed healing. It softens post-acne marks and visibly tightens pores for skin that looks smooth and refined. Cellstory is also safe for reactive and sensitive skin.

What It Feels Like

You’ll feel a subtle prickling during the serum application, a tactile whisper that the treatment is working. There’s no heat, no needles, no discomfort. Just a sensation that something potent is happening beneath the surface.

By day two, you may notice a bit of dryness or flaking as the microspears exfoliate away. And by day three, the magic reveals itself: radiant, polished, revived skin that looks filtered without makeup.

Why You’ll Come Back

This isn’t a one-and-done treatment, it’s a skin reset you’ll want to repeat. For best results, clients are encouraged to book a series of four sessions spaced weekly over a month. Even after just one appointment, you’ll see and feel a noticeable difference in tone, texture and glow.

CellStory at Joanna Vargas Spa is not just a facial. It is a recalibration. A renewal. A reminder that your skin can do amazing things, when given the right tools.

Book now. Your skin will thank you in 72 hours.

Between the caterer, the guest list, and the seating charts, their skin has fallen to the bottom of the list. They look at our facialists and ask, “Is it too late?”
