Which Facial is Best For Breakouts?
Acne is a widespread skin condition that impacts people of all skin types. It may be the result of hormonal fluctuations, stress or poor skincare practices that lead to breakouts.
Facials can help combat acne breakouts and diminish any remaining scarring or discoloration, while keeping the complexion hydrated and smooth. Finding an appropriate facial is essential to creating and maintaining a healthy and glowing complexion.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is an affordable, non-invasive treatment suitable for all skin types that’s safe and quick. The device gently exfoliates dead skin cells while unclogging pores to provide an overall fresh complexion. HydraFacial can also be customized with different booster ingredients like DERMABUILDER for firming and restoring, AGELESS BOOST to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and BRITENOL BOOST to treat dark spots.
As the pen are used across your skin, there’s no discomfort during treatment; unlike chemical peels or manual extractions. For optimal results, multiple sessions should be completed for best results.
However, if you have active rashes or skin conditions such as rosacea or severe acne, HydraFacial should be avoided as it could exacerbate existing damage and possibly further irritate the skin. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should also refrain from receiving treatments due to potential risk. HydraFacial should also not be performed on open wounds as its treatment might irritate and aggravate an exoriated area.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation technique that utilizes shaving off the upper layer of skin using a blade to scrape away fine facial hair (known as “vellus hair or peach fuzz”). Dermaplaning also helps minimize fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and can give makeup an overall smoother finish.
Procedure takes less than 30 minutes and should be performed by a trained professional using a sterilized, sharp scalpel to scrape away at skin surface cells. Following treatment, individuals should avoid direct sun exposure and instead apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ protection to protect themselves.
Dermaplaning can be safe for most, though not advised for people suffering from active acne or rosacea as the nicks from the blade may exacerbate them further. Dermaplaning also shouldn’t be done on people suffering from autoimmune conditions like psoriasis or eczema as this could further irritate skin conditions like these; unfortunately dermaplaning is also not covered by insurance and requires professional training if done at home on your own – though you could purchase a kit and do it yourself at home with no one watching over you though it would likely doom all involved!
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses a device with a diamond tip wand to gently remove dead skin cells that clog pores and give skin an uneven appearance, using non-invasive technology in our office by trained skincare professionals. Microdermabrasion also encourages collagen production for softening acne scars as well as lightening melasma, dark marks, age spots and stretch marks.
Exfoliation may help ease comedonal acne by unclogging pores, while consistent treatments may lead to significant improvements in skin tone and texture. Repeated applications have shown to decrease shallow acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, as well as provide more even complexion.
Following your facial treatment, your skin may feel slightly sensitive and dry – similar to having mild sunburn. We advise using sunscreen and moisturizing regularly with rich moisturizer for healthy glowing skin. Furthermore, this facial creates a more receptive surface for skincare products to work more effectively – this may lead to flaking of outer layers over a few days as you skin sheds and repairs itself.
LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a safe and effective treatment to clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts without using acids or other skin-irritating ingredients. Furthermore, this facial also brightens dull areas, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, enhances absorption of skincare products more efficiently, speeds healing times up and expedites skin recovery time.
Selecting an ideal facial for your individual skin type is essential, particularly if you suffer from oily or acne-prone skin. Exfoliation, steam and extraction treatments work together to unclog pores by extracting impurities through exfoliation, steam and extractions; after which comes a face mask and moisturizer that hydrates and protects.
Home LED Light Therapy (ELDT) is an at-home treatment using special LED lights worn over your face for up to 30 minutes and requires no downtime. Red LED light may increase collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, soften skin texture, soften fine lines and wrinkles and boost collagen production; blue LED light may kill bacteria that cause acne; it also can reduce how much sebum your oil glands produce, helping prevent clogged pores.
