Types of Therapeutic Facials + What They Do
Have you ever passed someone on the street that just appeared to glow? There is a good chance they are getting regular therapeutic facials.
Therapeutic facials offer a range of benefits tailored to different skin concerns. Standard facials provide a foundation of deep cleansing and hydration, while nano infusion facials enhance product absorption and improve skin texture, all while adding in an array of vitamins. Microneedling goes a step further by stimulating collagen production and addressing deeper skin issues like scarring and fine lines. By understanding the unique benefits of each type of facial, you can choose the treatment that best suits your skin’s needs and achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion.
What is a Therapeutic Facial?
A therapeutic facial is a specialized skincare treatment designed to address specific skin concerns and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. These facials go beyond the basic cleansing and moisturizing routine, utilizing advanced techniques and products to target issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and dullness. Therapeutic facials can include a variety of methods, including standard facials, nano infusion facials, and microneedling, each offering unique benefits tailored to different skin needs.
Types of Therapeutic Facials + What They Do
Standard Facial
What is a Standard Facial?
A standard facial is a classic treatment that involves several steps aimed at cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin. This type of facial typically includes:
Cleansing: Removing makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin’s surface.
Exfoliation: Sloughing off dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin.
Extraction: Removing blackheads and whiteheads to clear clogged pores.
Masking: Applying a mask suited to your skin type and concerns.
Moisturizing: Hydrating the skin to restore its natural barrier.
Massage: Enhancing circulation and promoting relaxation.
Benefits of a Standard Facial
Deep Cleansing: Removes impurities and excess oils, preventing breakouts.
Exfoliation: Promotes cell turnover for a brighter complexion.
Hydration: Moisturizes the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
Relaxation: The massage component reduces stress and promotes overall well-being.
Nano Infusion Facial
What is a Nano Infusion Facial?
A nano infusion facial is a non-invasive treatment that uses a device equipped with a silicone or stainless-steel tip to create microscopic channels in the skin. These channels allow for deeper penetration of serums and active ingredients, enhancing their effectiveness. The nano device works quickly! In fact, in ten minutes this special device can infuse the same amount of vitamins and active, medical-grade ingredients as 4 hours of hand massaging would take on the face. Unlike microneedling, nano infusion does not penetrate the skin, making it a gentle yet effective treatment for various skin concerns.
Benefits of a Nano Infusion Facial
Enhanced Product Absorption: Increases the absorption of skincare products for more significant results.
Improved Skin Texture: Smooths and refines the skin’s surface.
Hydration: Delivers deep hydration, plumping the skin.
Gentle Treatment: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, with no downtime.
Lasting Glow: Since so much is being penetrated by the skin, the glow from a nano facial can be experienced for up to one month.
Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling – sometimes called collagen induction therapy, skin needling, or derma rolling – is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Given the micro-injuries, this process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful, firm skin. Microneedling can be performed with specialized, automated pens with microneedling adaptors. Numbing cream is applied to the face and/or neck (depending on the facial treatment) so no discomfort is experienced.
Benefits of Microneedling
Collagen Production: Boosts collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and reducing fine lines.
Skin Texture and Tone: Helps to smooth out uneven skin texture and tone--amazing for acne scarring, fine lines/wrinkles and crepey or loose skin.
Scar Reduction: Effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.
Minimized Pores: Reduces the size of enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.
