What are Different Types of Facials and Their Benefits
Facials are beneficial to your health and wellness as they cleanse your skin of pollutants and dead skin that may be suffocating your body’s largest organ. Revitalizing your skin with natural and organic ingredients will leave your face feeling clean, hydrated and healthy.
Specialists at Balance Massage and Wellness will completely customize your facial experience to your individual skin type and condition.
However there are many types of facials on the market, and they all offer a wide range of benefits, everything from microdermabrasion to signature treatment sessions.
Facials can offer a wide range of almost immediate benefits, usually with only 1-3 sessions required to see and feel improvements
Some common reasons our clients seek the help of our facial specialist include:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- age spots and brown spots
- enlarged pores and blackheads
- acne and acne scars
- dull-looking skin complexion
- uneven skin tone and texture
- sun damage
Let us review some of the most popular facial types and their individual benefits so you are prepared when booking your next appointment at Balance Massage and Therapy.
Microdermabrasion
Quickly becoming one of the most highly sought-after forms of superficial resurfacing, this style of facial is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew the skin and improve the appearance of common signs of aging.
During a microdermabrasion session, your facial specialist will use a special applicative with a diamond abrasive surface to slew away the dead outer layer of skin, revealing rejuvenated skin underneath.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a type of facial that uses a chemical solution to improve the look of hand, neck and face skin. Carefully applied by your facial specialist to remove damaged skin cells and improve the appearance or texture of the skin by exfoliating and eventually peeling off.
There are three types of chemical peels and while a superficial peel requires minimal downtime, a medium or deep chemical peel session may require anywhere from two to three weeks recovery time.
Dermaplaning
Another form of an exfoliating facial, dermaplaning gently scrapes away dead skin revealing a
brighter, smoother complexion while using a special exfoliating blade. It is sometimes referred to as micro planning, as you can target deep scarring from acne or other problem areas.
Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and dead skin cells allowing skincare products to be more readily absorbed by the skin. This is a fabulous option for those looking for quick results with essentially no downtime.
Ageless Facials
While originally designed for mature skin, ageless facials or anti-aging facials are not only for people who are already displaying signs of aging but for anyone looking to boost collagen production.
This is specifically beneficial for those who suffer from extremely dry skin, or those looking for an extra hydrated, youthful look in the dead of winter. Your facial specialist at Balance Massage and Wellness will decide which serums and products will work best for you, leaving you with a youthful glow.
Acne Facials
Acne facials are specifically designed for those who suffer from break-outs and blackheads. While a facial may not cure your constant acne problem, it can certainly help calm the situation, reducing redness and inflammation
Our facial specialist will ensure the correct products and techniques are used in your treatment to leave you with clean, clear and healthy skin.
Signature Facial
This style of facial is particularly useful for clients who have sensitive skin or have suffered some form of skin dysfunction such as a reaction or allergy.
A very gentle option of cleansing, exfoliating and massaging the face, followed by a mask and re-hydration process. A Signature facial experience is a wonderful option that will leave your skin feeling soothed and refreshed.
As with all facials, your Balance Massage and Wellness technician will tailor all products and techniques to your custom skin requirement
