But with so many different facial treatments available, knowing which one is right for you can be challenging. Factors like skin type, concerns, and desired results come into play when making this decision. 

In this guide, we’ll explore the various types of facial treatments available, from classic facials to cutting-edge technology, to help you determine which will best suit your needs.

That said, here are some of the facial services we offer:

1.) Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skincare treatment that uses a specialized device to exfoliate the top layer of skin, clearing dead skin cells and exposing a smoother, more radiant complexion. This treatment is performed by a trained esthetician or dermatologist and is a non-invasive way to refresh your skin without downtime.

A small, handheld device gently sprays tiny crystals onto the skin’s surface during the procedure. These crystals help to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, allowing fresh, new skin cells to come to the surface. The process typically takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on the area’s scope, and can be customized to suit your skin concerns.

This treatment can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. It’s also effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars and different types of scarring and improving skin tone and texture. Microdermabrasion can be used to unclog pores and help prevent breakouts, making it an excellent option for those with acne-prone skin.

2.) Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a popular skincare treatment that uses a small, sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface. 

During the procedure, the esthetician will use a unique tool called a scalpel to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the face. This process not only helps to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin but also allows for better absorption of skincare products.

It’s a non-invasive treatment that requires no downtime. It’s appropriate for all skin types and especially beneficial for those with dry, dull skin or fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, dermaplaning can be an excellent option for those who want to achieve a smooth, even canvas for their makeup application.

3.) Diamond Glow Facial

The Diamond Glow Facial, or Dermalinfusion, is a revolutionary skincare treatment that uses a specialized device to exfoliate and infuse the skin with nourishing serums. This non-invasive treatment can help improve the skin’s overall texture, tone, and hydration, leaving you with a more youthful, radiant complexion.

During the procedure, a small, handheld device is used to simultaneously exfoliate the skin and infuse it with specialized serums customized to your skincare needs. The device uses a diamond tip to remove dead skin cells gently and impurities from the skin’s surface, delivering the serums deep into the skin for maximum absorption.

Diamond Glow Facial can be customized to address many skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and requires no downtime, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules.

4.) Extractions

Extractions are crucial in many facial treatments and can help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from the skin. This process involves using a specialized tool to gently remove impurities from the pores, leaving the skin looking clearer and more refreshed.

During the procedure, the esthetician will use a magnifying glass to examine the skin and identify areas of congestion. They will then use a sterile extraction tool to apply gentle pressure to the pore, removing the impurity without damaging the surrounding skin.

Extractions help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin by removing impurities that can lead to breakouts and other skin concerns. By keeping the pores clear and clean, extractions can also help reduce the appearance of large pores and improve the skin’s texture.

5.) Microneedling

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally intrusive cosmetic procedure involving a specialized device to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin – two key components that give our skin youthful elasticity and firmness.

The microneedling procedure typically begins with applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Once the skin is numb, the esthetician will use a handheld device equipped with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the targeted area.

The depth and intensity of the microneedling treatment can be adjusted to suit the patient’s individual needs, making it a highly customizable and versatile treatment. Some advantages of microneedling include diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing skin texture and tone, and reducing acne scars and other types of scarring.

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, microneedling has been shown to have therapeutic benefits for various skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and stretch marks.
