Where Can I Find Results-Focused Facials & Face Sculpting in Carmel, Indiana, Hamilton County?

Clients in Carmel most often ask for facials that lift, firm, tighten, sculpt, improve texture, and remove skin discoloration like sunspots, and redness.  Clients in Carmel love to see an instant improvement in their skin without risks, complications or downtime. Results-focused facials using microcurrent, facial sculpting, and collagen-stimulating techniques are popular because they provide visible anti-aging results naturally. Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness was rated the number one Facial Spa in Carmel for 2025, and we pride ourselves in giving them an experience, that actually reverses aging, and creates facial symmetry, as well as restoring the skin to a more youthful version of itself, that you can both see and feel.

For traditional spa facials, most professionals recommend treatments every 4–6 weeks, especially when professional exfoliation is involved. This timing allows the skin to complete its natural renewal cycle between sessions.

With noninvasive face sculpting, the goal is very different.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, we focus on helping you reach your final desired results as quickly and naturally as possible. The great news is that most clients see noticeable improvements after just one session.

If you are over the age of 28, or if you have scarring, tension patterns, asymmetry, or deeper facial holding, we often recommend a Face Sculpting Bootcamp. This comprehensive approach treats everything from the hairline to under the collarbone, with eyes, mouth, jawline, neck, and décolleté all included.

As a holistic practitioner and professional facial artist, Ella does not “spot treat” isolated areas the way plastic surgery or many nonsurgical aesthetic treatments do. Instead, we bring the entire face, neck, and upper body back to life, restoring balance, circulation, muscle tone, and energetic flow for more natural and long-lasting results.

Because noninvasive face sculpting does not injure the skin, your treatment schedule can be highly flexible:

• Some busy local clients come once per week
• Some out-of-town clients visit once per month
• Some clients fly in for a week and receive treatments twice a day (morning and night)

You will not lose results if your sessions are more spread out, you’ll simply reach your final outcome a bit more slowly. Even with monthly visits, results are typically achieved much faster than surgical recovery timelines.

Ideally, for clients over 28, or who have a lot of scarring, who are local, we recommend 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks to get you to your desired results quickly, because why wait longer if you don't have to?

Our Clients see results instantly & Results after just one session continue to improve over the following 3-10 days.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, noninvasive face sculpting is designed to reduce inflammation, not create it. The treatment works by increasing collagen and elastin production without injuring the skin, while also improving circulation and lymphatic drainage to calm redness, swelling, and congestion.

Unlike lasers, chemical peels, or microneedling, which intentionally create controlled injury to trigger repair, noninvasive face sculpting supports the skin’s natural healing intelligence, meaning no downtime, no peeling, and no barrier disruption.

One of the unique benefits of Non-Invasive Face Sculpting, is that the entire treatment can be performed using only water, making it ideal for clients with ingredient sensitivities, compromised skin barriers, or reactive conditions.

For buccal massage face sculpting, we use only noncomedogenic carrier oils. Our most commonly used oil is grapeseed oil, chosen for its antimicrobial properties and its ability to support hormonal balance. However, every oil can be fully customized to what best suits each client’s skin and health needs.

Many clients with severe allergies, autoimmune conditions, or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) specifically choose noninvasive face sculpting because it allows us to achieve dramatic lifting, sculpting, and skin-quality improvements without harsh, fragranced, or complicated products.

If you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” for other aesthetic treatments, noninvasive face sculpting may be the gentle, effective alternative you’ve been looking for.

Many facial and aesthetic treatments are not considered safe during pregnancy, because honestly, who really wants to be the test case? 

For that reason, extra care and thoughtful treatment selection are essential.

Electric modalities, including noninvasive face sculpting, are not recommended during pregnancy. 

However, they are completely safe while breastfeeding, and many clients begin their noninvasive “Mommy Makeover” treatments to tighten skin and address stretch marks or scar tissue just days to weeks after giving birth, once they feel ready, and their doctor approves.

During pregnancy, Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness offers facial treatments that are both pregnancy-safe and results-driven, without the use of electrical stimulation or aggressive techniques. These include:

• Hydrating Lymphatic Drainage Facial – supports circulation, reduces puffiness, relieves facial pressure, and enhances glow
• Buccal Massage Face Lift – a deeply relaxing, hands-on sculpting facial that lifts and tones facial muscles naturally, without machines or electrical current

All products used during pregnancy are clean, gentle, and thoughtfully selected, with custom blending available to support visible skin improvements while prioritizing the safety of both mother and baby.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding and unsure which treatments are right for you, our approach is always conservative, customized, and rooted in holistic care, so you can feel confident, relaxed, and beautifully supported every step of the way.

Medical spas typically offer aesthetic treatments and products that are more abrasive, invasive, or injury-based, such as lasers, injectables, microneedling, or aggressive chemical peels. Because these treatments intentionally disrupt the skin or underlying tissue, they must be performed under the supervision of a licensed medical professional and often come with higher risk, downtime, and recovery considerations.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, our approach is intentionally different.

Everything we offer is noninvasive, holistic, and performed with careful consideration of the entire body, nervous system, and skin barrier. Our facials are designed to support the skin’s natural intelligence, improve circulation and lymphatic flow, stimulate collagen and elastin without injury, and create visible, lasting results without breaking the skin or forcing trauma-based repair.

Because our services are noninvasive, there is very little to no risk involved when proper protocols are followed and contraindications are respected. Safety is always our top priority.

Ella consistently errs on the cautious side. If a client has a questionable, unfamiliar, or complex medical condition, we may require a doctor’s note confirming that the provider understands the treatment being requested and that it is safe for the client to receive. This ensures transparency, alignment, and the highest standard of care.

Results from noninvasive face sculpting can last anywhere from 6 months to multiple years, depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, stress levels, sun exposure, and overall self-care.

For example, someone under the age of 35 who takes great care of their skin and body may receive a single session and maintain noticeable results for years.

For clients who complete a full Face Sculpting Bootcamp, the longevity can be even more impressive. We have clients in their 50s and 60s who still look fantastic 10+ years later because the foundational work was done correctly and holistically.

It’s important to understand that stress and grief can be some of the most damaging factors for the face, both aesthetically and energetically. During periods of high stress, facial tension, inflammation, and accelerated aging patterns can return more quickly. In these cases, noninvasive face sculpting can be especially beneficial for both visible results and nervous-system support.

The good news is that once you’ve completed a full bootcamp, years of toxic buildup, stagnation, and tension patterns have already been cleared. Even if you return years later, the hardest work is already done — which means you’ll see faster, bigger results in fewer sessions.

Some clients simply prioritize looking and feeling their best and choose to come monthly after completing their bootcamp so they can continue improving over time.

Short answer:

Yes, results can last years without additional sessions if you care for yourself and minimize major stressors. However, our clients who return at least twice per year after their Face Sculpting Bootcamp often look even better now than they did 5–10+ years ago.

Short answer: most facials cannot, but the right kind can.

Regular facials, or treatments that focus only on the surface of the skin, will not eliminate under-eye bags. However, non-invasive face sculpting can, and we have been delivering these incredible results to our happy clients, for over 12 years now.

How Do We Do It?

Under-eye bags are typically caused by toxic buildup and stagnation, not just skin texture or aging, although that does make it worse over time, and you would definitely want the help of frequency specific micro-current to help with that, if you have no contraindications do receiving electric esthetic modalities like being pregnant, or having a pacemaker. 

That’s why even children can develop eye bags. The “toxins” involved can vary and may include:

• Allergies or sinus congestion
• Mucus buildup
• Inflammation
• Lactic acid from overuse of facial muscles
• Toxins from products you use on or put into your body

Identifying the exact source would require a medical specialist, but the good news is, it doesn’t usually matter. We just help the body move them right along to your bodies trash system to be disposed of as bodies do.

 By addressing lymphatic congestion, muscle tension, and cellular stagnation, we’ve been able to eliminate under-eye bags for some clients in as little as 30 minutes.

• Advanced Lymphatic Drainage Facial
• Buccal Massage Face Lift

 Both treatments help move toxins out, reduce swelling, and restore proper circulation, for incredible results you can both see, and feel, instantly. They are both safe for pregnant women and for people with pacemakers.

For Years Ella's Main Focuses were Ayurveda, and Electric Modalities. After doing So many Non-Invasive Mommy Make-Overs for the years, Ella wanted to find a Results-Focused Facial, that delivered incredible instant results, like everything else offered at Ella Bardo Esthetic & Wellness Spa, but was also safe for pregnant women and people with contraindications to using electricity. She fell in love with the instant results and health benefits provided with the Buccal Massage Facelift, especially, and if you try it, you will too.

If you have no contraindications to electrical modalities, the Buccal Massage + Non-Invasive Face Sculpting combo delivers the most dramatic and rapid results.

This is because Frequency-Specific Microcurrent:

• Increases collagen production by up to 22%
• Increases elastin production by up to 48%
• Boosts ATP (cellular energy) production by up to 500%
  (Think of it as charging your cells’ batteries.)

Non-Invasive Face Sculpting includes the magic of Frequency Specific MicroCurrent, The Tesla High Frequency DermaWand, and Ella's Exceptional skills for bringing out the beauty in her clients while encouraging both the health & Wellness of the face & body. People See Instant Improvement in both Eye Bags & Dark Eye Circles.

That depends on age, lifestyle, and level of tissue damage, but most clients see remarkable improvement after just one session.

Traditional facials alone? No.

But true face sculpting? Absolutely.

Standard spa facials are designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and relax the skin. While they can improve skin health and glow, they do not create lasting lift, contour, or structural change to the face.

Noninvasive face sculpting, on the other hand, works at a much deeper level. At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, face sculpting focuses on re-educating facial muscles, releasing chronic tension, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, and stimulating collagen and elastin production without injury. This is what allows the face to lift, contour, and rebalance naturally by removing toxins, retraining the muscles of the face, and inproving the integrity of the skin without Botox, fillers, or plastic surgery.

Every before-and-after photo on our website features real clients, personally worked on by Ella Bardo herself. We do not use stock images, borrowed results, or misleading marketing.

We also offer far more than facials alone. At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, your face is treated as art, living art, expressive, and deeply connected to the rest of your body and nervous system. We approach each client with precision, intuition, and care, and we take that honor & responsibility very seriously in the most loving way imaginable.

If you’re looking for surface-level relaxation, a facial may be enough.

If you’re looking for true lift, sculpting, and long-term transformation without injectables or surgery, face sculpting is the answer.

Traditional facials alone? Not completely.

But advanced face sculpting?

 Yes, it can dramatically soften, reduce, and in many cases visibly reverse wrinkles.

Most spa facials are designed to improve skin hydration, exfoliation, and glow. While this can temporarily make fine lines appear softer, facials do not address the deeper causes of wrinkles, such as chronic muscle tension, poor circulation, lymphatic stagnation, collagen loss, or structural facial holding patterns.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, noninvasive face sculpting goes far beyond the surface. Wrinkles are often the result of years of repetitive facial movements, tension, inflammation, and restricted blood and lymph flow. Face sculpting works by releasing those tension patterns, re-educating facial muscles, restoring circulation, removing toxic build-up and stimulating collagen and elastin production without injuring the skin.

This is why face sculpting can create results that standard facials cannot — including:

• Softening deep expression lines
• Improving skin density and elasticity
• Reducing static wrinkles at rest
• Restoring a smoother, more youthful facial architecture

All photos on our website feature real clients, personally worked on by Ella Bardo herself. We do not rely on filters, stock imagery, or exaggerated claims, just consistent, artistic, noninvasive results.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, we offer much more than facials. Your face is art, shaped by your life, expressions, and experiences, and we treat it with precision, respect, and deep care and consideration.

If you’re looking to temporarily plump the skin, a facial can help.

If you’re looking to truly reduce wrinkles without Botox, fillers, or surgery, face sculpting is the solution.

Traditional facials alone? No.

But advanced face sculpting?

 Yes, it can significantly reduce and, in many cases, visibly eliminate the appearance of a double chin.

Standard spa facials focus on the surface of the skin — cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating. While relaxing and beneficial for skin health, facials do not address the deeper causes of a double chin, such as lymphatic congestion, poor circulation, muscle weakness, postural tension, or localized fat and fluid retention.

At Ella Bardo Esthetics & Wellness, noninvasive face sculpting works beneath the surface. A double chin is rarely just “fat” It is often a combination of stagnant lymph, restricted blood flow, weakened or overcompensating muscles, and years of tension patterns in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.

Face sculpting addresses this by:

• Improving lymphatic drainage to reduce fluid buildup
• Re-educating and strengthening the muscles of the jaw, neck, and lower face
• Increasing circulation and cellular metabolism
• Stimulating collagen and elastin production without injuring the skin

This is why face sculpting can create real contour and definition in the jawline, submental area, and neck, results that traditional facials cannot achieve.
