Why should I see an Esthetician?
Esthetics is the application of various treatments to the skin, to maintain its health and vitality. Estheticians are trained in skin wellness, helping their clients balance oil and moisture content and achieve a healthy, youthful complexion. As well as various facial treatments (described in more detail below), they commonly also perform body treatments such as salt or sugar scrubs, moisturizing or slenderizing body wraps, hair removal techniques such as waxing or threading, and hand/foot treatments to rejuvenate the skin.
A variety of treatments and products are used to protect skin from environmental hazards and combat fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull, uneven skin tone. Estheticians are also skilled in managing conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and dry skin, to name just a few. And finally, skin care treatments are wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. If smooth, healthy skin is your goal, visiting a skin care professional can benefit you.
What are the benefits of getting a facial?
Facials are like a mini-vacation for your skin! They cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate, leaving you looking fresh and fabulous. Plus, they help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It's the ultimate treat for your face!
What can I expect from a facial?
Facials are generally very relaxing and soothing. Your esthetician will explain to you what the treatment steps will be. Be sure to communicate with your esthetician during the facial if any product burns, itches, or if you need anything or have any questions. Otherwise, just lie back and enjoy the experience.
A basic facial generally includes the following steps:
Makeup removal and cleansing of the skin.
Skin analysis.
Exfoliation by mechanical, enzymatic or chemical means.
Massage of the face and neck, to aid in relaxation and stimulate blood and oxygen flow to the skin.
Extraction of blackheads and other impurities, either manually (using gloved hands and cotton or tissue around the fingers with gentle pressure to remove the impacted pore) or using a metal extraction implement designed to clear blocked pores. This can also include the use of a lancet (a small, sharp blade to lift the dead cells of the skin prior to extraction).
Application of products targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, mixed, sensitive, or mature).
What should I do to prepare for my facial?
What should I do to prepare for my facial?
To prepare for your facial at Sexy Visage, it is recommended that you come to the salon makeup-free. However, if you prefer to have makeup on, our estheticians will perform a thorough cleansing to remove any impurities before beginning the facial treatment. It is also important to arrive on time for your appointment to ensure that you have enough time to relax and enjoy the full benefits of your facial.
It's also a good idea to avoid using any exfoliating products for at least 48 hours before your appointment, as they can make your skin more sensitive.
If you have any concerns or questions about preparing for your facial, please feel free to contact us beforehand.
Will the facial hurt or be uncomfortable?
At Sexy Visage, we pride ourselves on providing a relaxing and comfortable spa experience. Our facials are designed to be soothing and rejuvenating, and we use gentle techniques and high-quality products to minimize discomfort. However, every person's skin is different, so some may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity during the facial. If this happens, please let our estheticians know and they will adjust the treatment accordingly. Overall, we strive to ensure that our clients leave feeling refreshed and satisfied with their facial experience.
When will I see results from my facial?
Results can vary, but many facials give you an instant glow! Some treatments might need a few sessions for the full effect. Either way, your skin will thank you!
What are the long term benefits of getting a facial?
Here are some of the benefits of getting regular facials:
1. Prevents premature aging: Facials help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and increase circulation, which in turn can help prevent premature aging and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Improves skin tone and texture: Facials can help improve skin texture and tone, leaving your skin looking smoother and more radiant.
3. Reduces acne and blemishes: Facials can help reduce acne and blemishes by removing excess oil and dirt from your pores, and by exfoliating dead skin cells that can clog pores.
4. Boosts hydration: Facials can help boost hydration in your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple.
Overall, getting regular facials can help improve the health and appearance of your skin, leaving you looking and feeling your best.
How often should I get a facial?
We generally recommend getting a facial every month to maintain healthy and glowing skin. However, if you are seeking corrective services for specific skin issues, we recommend getting a facial every two weeks. Our experienced estheticians will assess your skin and recommend the best frequency for your individual needs.
If I get a facial, do I have to use professional products?
No, you don't have to use professional products after getting a facial at Sexy Visage. However, we highly recommend using professional-grade products to maintain the results of your facial. If you choose to use over-the-counter products, it's essential to talk to your esthetician about the ingredients in those products. Many products from drug stores or beauty counters contain ingredients that can cause or contribute to skin issues such as dryness, oiliness, acne breakouts, and redness.
Many of the products we used on your skin during your facial we have available for purchase. Our estheticians can recommend the best products for your skin type and address any concerns you may have.
Should I have a facial if I'm pregnant?
Yes, you can! We at Sexy Visage understand that pregnancy is a special time and we have several products that are mommy-to-be safe. Our trained estheticians will customize your facial treatment to address any skin concerns you may have during this time. It is important to inform your esthetician if you are pregnant, so they can select the appropriate products for your skin. We want to ensure that you have a relaxing and safe experience at our spa.
Should I have a facial if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, you can still have a facial even if you have sensitive skin. Our estheticians are trained to provide customized treatments for all skin types, including sensitive skin. In fact, having a facial can help treat any underlying skin conditions that you may have, such as redness, dryness, or acne
