The desquamation facial at Shosho Beauty Spa and Body Works is a gentle exfoliating facial that removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Desquamation is one of the core facial services listed on our Google Business Profile, alongside deep cleansing, acne and pimple treatment, microdermabrasion, face polish and anti ageing care.
The treatment is performed in a private room at Abraham Plaza, Utako, and your therapist explains the process before it begins.
Why Dead Skin Dulls the Face
Skin renews itself from below, and the old cells on the surface are meant to shed. When they linger, the face looks dull, feels rough and clogs more easily. The desquamation facial lifts that layer after cleansing and steam, then calms and hydrates the fresh skin underneath. The change is visible the same day.
Desquamation as Preparation
Because it clears the surface, the desquamation facial is often booked before a skin brightening treatment or pigmentation care so the corrective products reach the skin that needs them. It is also the gentler alternative to a chemical peel for clients with sensitive skin. Book Monday to Saturday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM by phone, WhatsApp or online.

A client review
"The deep tissue massage with appropriate oils was so soothing and I had to go again and again. I recommend Shola to anyone that needs a relaxing, healing massage with the associated steam bath. Very soothing. Keep it up, Shosho"
