It’s a good idea to treat yourself to a spa day to restore and rejuvenate your skin. Self-care is important, after all, but it can also be beneficial for your well-being. Sometimes your diet and home care regimen can fail to address the look and feel of your face. At Rekindle, our facial treatment experts can address that problem.
Imperfections come in different forms when it comes to your appearance. Some are simply aesthetic, while others could be due to poor skin health.
It’s not easy looking young and refreshed
Dealing with imperfect or maturing skin is a part of life. Still, it helps to have a solution for unpleasant features. A healthy diet and at-home skin routine might not be enough for your skin.
Aging, poor diet, stress, and pollution can cause dryness, sagginess, clogged pores, and puffiness. Then there are times when you can’t get your face to look as smooth and supple as you would prefer.
What to expect from your facial appointment
Health spas are a professional solution for facial treatments focused on long-term health and wellness. You can talk to a qualified skin professional to determine which procedure is right for you. Get to know what goes on before, during, and after your facial so that you can get the maximum benefit from your appointment.
Pre-appointment
Your physician will ask what you’re looking for before taking a look at your preferences and medical history. This, along with planning your sessions, offers favorable treatment outcomes.
The type of treatment
There are different types of treatments that address how you want your skin to look and feel. You can choose a facial that you prefer or have your doctor prescribe one.
- A classic facial is a basic treatment that includes cleansing and exfoliation with massaging, pore cleaning, or blackhead extraction.
- A facial mask applies products for skin de-aging, moisturizing, brightening, or clearing.
- Chemical peels use more powerful chemical solutions to remove dead skin cells from the face.
- Microdermabrasion uses special tools for poor skin texture and uneven pigmentation. The result is an increase in smoothness and more consistent skin color.
- In dermaplaning, a fine, sterile blade removes dead skin and fine hair for a smoother, clearer surface.
- Micro needling targets scars and other physical imperfections by probing the skin with fine needles.
The procedure itself
Your facial session will take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the products and techniques that your physician will use. This time will include the cleansing, masks, and massaging of the skin.
Masks or classic facials are non-medical and simple techniques, so there is no downtime after the treatment. Meanwhile, microdermabrasion or needling uses special tools to penetrate the skin. This can cause you to experience some temporary redness. The doctor will ask you to stay for a while so that they can monitor your condition.
Ongoing sessions and aftercare
You will need to visit your local spa every four to six weeks for your treatment. In the meantime, don’t use any skin products or makeup, and stay away from direct sunlight.
