Facials 101
The general definition for a facial is any aesthetic treatment that may cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, and target skin concerns. Sounds pretty broad, right?
There are many different types of facials for different needs, so it’s difficult to lump them together. Instead, let’s look at some of the advanced technologies many facials incorporate:
HydraFacial™ – This highly sought-after treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, antioxidant protection, and red LED light therapy — all in one treatment!
GLO2Facial BY GENEO: Formulated with natural ingredients and safe for all skin types, this advanced treatment combines exfoliation, O2 bubbles, ultrasound technology, and lymphatic massage to address various skincare concerns.
Microdermabrasion – Employing a small handheld device, microdermabrasion gently removes the top layer of skin, helping to renew overall skin tone and texture.
LED Light – Typically utilized with red or blue light, LED Light Therapy promotes healing, calms and soothes inflammation, and encourages collagen production within the skin.
Microcurrent – Using low-level electrical currents, microcurrent facials “train” the facial muscles to create a more sculpted outcome.
Dermaplaning – Using a small, surgical-grade razor, dermaplaning removes unwanted hair and dead skin cells to deeply exfoliate and smooth the skin.
Benefits
Facials offer long-term benefits and are an essential part of maintaining a good skincare routine.
While each facial provides specific benefits, the overall advantages of facials include:
- Deeply Cleansed Skin
- Improved Circulation
- Encouraged Lymphatic Drainage
- Added Nutrients
- Relaxation!
Choosing A Facial
The first route to choosing a facial involves considering your skin concerns. Specific facials will target specific skin concerns and address those goals accordingly.
Seeking hydration? Consider the HydraFacial. Looking to heal acne? Opt for a clarifying facial that uses acne-fighting ingredients. Want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles? Choose a facial that incorporates anti-aging solutions.
You should also take your skin type and tone into consideration. Some facials work better for drier skin types, while others benefit those with oilier complexion.
Finally, choosing a qualified aesthetician for your facial treatment offers you the advantage of professional advice. A skilled aesthetician knows what treatments work best and can give you their knowledge and input when choosing!
