What Are Facials Used To Treat?
The Treatment Process
Facials are available at Manningtree Dental and Implant Centre because dental professionals understand the intricate connection between oral health and overall facial aesthetics. Each facial is tailored to meet the individual needs of your skin, with a process that typically involves the following steps:
1.
Consultation
The facial begins with a personalised consultation where your skin type and concerns are assessed. This allows the practitioner to tailor the facial to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results.
2.
Cleansing
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, preparing it for the next steps of the facial.
3.
Exfoliation
A gentle exfoliation process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and smooths the skin’s surface, revealing a brighter complexion.
4.
Extraction (if needed)
If necessary, extractions are performed to clear out blackheads and whiteheads, improving skin clarity and texture.
5.
Mask and Massage
A customised mask is applied to target specific skin concerns, followed by a relaxing facial massage to promote circulation and relaxation.
6.
Hydration
The facial concludes with the application of serums and moisturisers, leaving the skin hydrated, nourished, and protected.
Treatment Aftercare
After a facial, it’s important to follow a gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh products or exfoliants for a few days. Keep the skin moisturised and protected from the sun with a broad-spectrum SPF.
FAQs
How often should I get a facial?
The frequency of facials depends on your skin type and concerns. Generally, it’s recommended to get a facial every 4 to 6 weeks, as this aligns with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle. Regular facials help maintain skin health, address specific concerns, and keep your complexion looking fresh. For those with specific skin issues, such as acne or hyperpigmentation, more frequent treatments may be beneficial, while those with sensitive skin might opt for less frequent sessions.
Are facials suitable for all skin types?
Yes, facials can be customised to suit all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination skin. During your consultation, the practitioner will assess your skin type and choose products and techniques that are best suited for your needs. Whether you’re looking to hydrate dry skin, calm sensitive areas, or balance oily skin, there’s a facial tailored to your specific skin condition.
Can I get a facial if I have acne-prone skin?
Absolutely. Facials are beneficial for acne-prone skin as they help deep-cleanse pores, reduce excess oil, and remove impurities that can lead to breakouts. Specialised acne facials often include gentle exfoliation, extractions, and treatments with anti-inflammatory or antibacterial ingredients. Regular facials can help manage acne and improve the overall appearance of the skin, but it’s important to consult with your practitioner to ensure the facial is tailored to your skin’s needs.
What should I avoid after a facial?
After a facial, it’s important to avoid harsh skincare products, such as those containing retinoids or strong exfoliants, for a few days. Steer clear of direct sun exposure and always use sunscreen to protect your skin. Additionally, avoid wearing heavy makeup immediately after your facial to allow your skin to breathe and fully benefit from the treatment.
Will my skin break out after a facial?
It’s possible to experience minor breakouts after a facial, especially if your skin is purging impurities or if extractions were performed. This is typically a temporary reaction and a sign that your skin is clearing out toxins. Any breakouts should subside within a few days, revealing clearer, healthier skin. Proper aftercare and following your practitioner’s advice can help minimise this risk and support your skin’s recovery.
