What is a Bio-Therapeutic Facial?
This treatment is a non-invasive and painless procedure that combines ultrasonic technology with a skin scrubber to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin.
The ultrasonic technology uses sound waves to penetrate the skin's surface and stimulate collagen production. This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone. The skin scrubber uses a gentle vibration to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and oil from the skin's surface. This helps to unclog pores and promote the absorption of skincare products.
It's important to note that not everyone is a candidate for the Bio-Therapeutic Facial. If you are pregnant or nursing, have a pacemaker, cancer, heart conditions, blood disorders, severe infection, circulation disorders, or diabetes, we cannot perform this treatment on you. We recommend consulting with your doctor if you have any concerns about whether this treatment is safe for you.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and peel off the outer layer of skin. This treatment is designed to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars. Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, and hands and can be customized to suit individual skin types and concerns.
How do I preparer for a chemical peel?
At Sexy Visage, we have a few guidelines to help you prepare for your chemical peel:
Consultation: Before scheduling your chemical peel, we recommend booking a consultation with our esthetician. During your consultation, we will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend the best type of chemical peel for your skin.
Skincare kit: We provide all our clients with a skincare kit containing products that will help repair and protect your skin barrier. This kit is designed to prepare your skin for the chemical peel and to maintain the results afterward.
Introductory facials: If you are new to chemical peels, we recommend starting with 2-3 introductory facials with enzymes. These facials will help your skin get used to the exfoliation process and prepare it for the chemical peel.
Avoid sun exposure: It is essential to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before your chemical peel. This will help prevent any unwanted side effects, such as hyperpigmentation.
Avoid certain skincare products: Before your chemical peel, it is important to avoid using retinoids, acids, and other exfoliating products for at least one week
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your skin is well-prepared for the chemical peel and that you achieve the best possible results.
What can I expect from a chemical peel?
After the peel
After most peels, the skin will be pink to red, and look shiny and tight. It is vital to apply sunscreen of SFP 30 or greater to the skin for the next 48 hours, minimum. You must also stay out of the sun, as your skin will be very sensitive to UV rays and could be damaged by sun exposure. The skin will begin to flake or peel within 2–3 days after the treatment, unless you had a lactic acid peel—these encourage moisture retention and may not produce any actual peeling. Sun-damaged areas of your skin will appear darker at first, then will lighten. This is normal. Deeper peels can produce peeling for a week or more. To assist in removing the flaking skin, an enzyme peel or light microdermabrasion treatment is sometimes scheduled a week or so after the initial peel. For maximum results, a series of peels is usually recommended, and may be necessary for treating challenging issues such as hyperpigmentation.
Home care after a chemical peel
Your esthetician will recommend healing products to use for the week or two following your peel. These will soothe and nourish your skin, and aid in its recovery. Usually it is best to avoid makeup during this time, to allow the skin to heal and function without interference. However, if you must wear makeup, mineral makeup will not adversely affect the skin.
What is a Galvanic Facial?
Galvanic Facial is a non-invasive treatment that uses a small device to apply a low-level electrical current to the skin. This current helps to improve the penetration of skincare products into the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a more effective treatment. The treatment is painless and can be customized to suit different skin types and concerns, such as acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. The benefits of a Galvanic Facial include improved skin texture, increased hydration, and a brighter, more youthful complexion.
Please note:
If you are pregnant or nursing, have a pacemaker, cancer, heart conditions, blood disorders, severe infection, circulation disorders, or diabetes, we cannot perform this treatment on you. We recommend consulting with your doctor if you have any concerns about whether this treatment is safe for you.
What can I expect from my Galvanic Facial?
You can expect to feel a mild tingling sensation during the treatment, but it is completely painless. After the treatment, your skin will look and feel smoother, firmer, and more radiant. You may also notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall improvement in the tone and texture of your skin. We recommend scheduling a Galvanic Facial every 4-6 weeks to maintain the best results.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, cosmetic procedure that uses a machine to gently exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the face. The treatment helps to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, as well as improving the overall tone and brightness of the skin. Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types and can be performed in a spa or medical office setting. At Sexy Visage, we offer Microdermabrasion as part of our comprehensive spa services to help you achieve beautiful, glowing skin.
What can I expect from my Microdermabrasion Facial?
During your session at Sexy Visage, your esthetician will cleanse and prepare your skin for the treatment, then use the wand to buff away dead skin cells. After the treatment, your skin will feel smoother, softer, and more radiant. You may experience some mild redness or sensitivity after the treatment, but this should subside within a few hours. We recommend avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen regularly in the days following your treatment to protect your newly resurfaced skin.
What is a Dermaplaning Facial?
A Dermaplaning Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that exfoliates and removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face using a surgical blade. This treatment is great for improving the texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and allowing for better absorption of skincare products. It is safe for all skin types and has no downtime.
Is Dermaplaning painful?
No, Dermaplaning is entirely painless. It involves a gentle scraping motion across the skin's surface using a sterile, medical-grade blade. While there may be some minor risks of cuts on the skin, our trained professionals at Sexy Visage use light pressure to minimize any potential discomfort.
Will dermaplaning make my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
Absolutely not! Dermaplaning won't turn you into a fuzzy peach. The soft, fine vellus hair on your face will grow back just as it was before – no thicker, no darker. It's a beauty myth busted!
What are the difference between Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning?
Both options are a form of physical exfoliation. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells from the skin, microdermabrasion also exfoliate the surface of the skin, but not as thoroughly or deeply as dermaplaning does.
What is a Red Carpet 24K Facial?
A Red Carpet 24K Facial is a luxurious facial treatment that uses 24K gold-infused products to help rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. This facial is designed to give you a glowing, radiant complexion, just like the celebrities on the red carpet. The facial begins with a deep cleansing and exfoliation, followed by a relaxing massage to help improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. The 24K gold-infused products are then applied to the skin, helping to hydrate, plump, and firm the skin. The final step of the facial is a soothing and hydrating mask, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.
This facial is perfect if you are a bride to be as it gives glowing skin that lasts for 7-14 days.
What can I expect from an ice infusion facial?
The ice infusion facial is a unique treatment we offer at Sexy Visage. It starts with a hot hammer to bring blood to the surface of your skin. Then, we cool things down with ice cubes made from natural ingredients like green tea and aloe vera. These ice cubes are gently massaged onto your face to reduce inflammation and puffiness, tighten your skin, and leave you looking refreshed and rejuvenated. It's perfect for a quick pick-me-up or for those with acne or sensitive skin who want a gentle yet effective facial option.
What is non-needle mesotherapy and how does it benefit the skin?
Non-needle mesotherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the delivery of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to the skin using specialized equipment. This treatment helps to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin, improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin health without the use of needles.
