Facial Scottsdale

Almost everyone loves to get a facial. It’s a relaxing experience that can help to relieve stress. But that’s not all; a facial can also help with a variety of different skin problems. Depending on your needs, active ingredients will be chosen that can help. You’ll enjoy the process of releasing stress, and you’ll also leave with skin that’s soothed, smoother and more radiant.

Active Ingredients

In general, the first part of a facial involves deep cleansing and exfoliation. This includes a process called extraction, in which the aesthetician deep cleans your pores and removes debris that may be causing problems. (It’s very important not to try to perform extraction on yourself at home. The aesthetician has special tools to do it safely, and is also trained to recognize when performing extraction might lead to scarring.)

Once your skin is cleaned, then moisturizing and soothing products will be applied. During a facial, you may also receive some massage on the temples, forehead, neck, and anywhere else you are holding tension.

Active ingredients may be used during any part of the process, depending on the particular mix of ingredients that are chosen. When you come in for a facial, we’ll evaluate the current state of your skin and select the ingredients that would best serve you. A facial can help with common problems like dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and uneven skin tone. (Facials are also a good idea even when you’re not currently having any skin problems; they can be used as maintenance to keep your skin looking great.)

Combining Treatments

It’s also possible to combine a facial with certain other treatments, if that would help with any skin problems. For example, a facial can be combined with microdermabrasion, light therapy, dermaplaning, or even a light chemical peel. The treatment will be performed first, followed by the facial. The treatment and the facial can enhance each other’s effects.
