Medical Grade Facials

You exercise often, you eat right and you get frequent haircuts, so why wouldn’t you get a facial? As with most other beauty and health matters, facials help prevent and treat common problems. We do not always realize the effect of environment on our skin. Air conditioners are big culprits in dehydrating our skins and facials can drastically correct a lack of moisture. Also in summer time when it is warm or you go to the gym, your skin can get oilier, creating acne and breakout prone skin. Doing facials can help with these and other skin ailments.

Ideally once every month or once every 2 months will give your skin a boost, prevent problems from surfacing and speed up the changes you would like to see in your skin.. It takes the skin five weeks on average to complete the full cycle of cell growth and exfoliation. Therefore, a facial every four weeks helps the skin through that process. If you have specific concerns like pigmentation, acne scars or severe sun damage and dehydration, you may need to combine facials with some more targeted treatments like Laser or Chemical Peels.

Smoother texture, proper hydration, a glowing complexion, fewer breakouts and firmer skin. Your skin may also feel very smooth following a facial, because of the different exfoliation treatments we perform during your facial. If your skin was dehydrated before, immediately after a facial, your skin will feel hydrated and amazing. The effects of the boosted hydration should last 48 to 72 hours. Your professional treatments and homecare products will together help to keep your skin hydrated, healthy and glowing. If your skin is congested and your pores are clogged, the days following extractions and treatment could produce some breakouts. The skin starts to expel the debris. This will resolve shortly
