Your one-stop-snob-shop for all things regarding facial treatments. This post will be refreshed regularly with more information – and lemons.

Basic Facial / European Facial

This is the classic facial that you can score at any establishment for any skin type.

During this session you’re expected to have your face steamed, massaged, and exfoliated. All of the fixings to leave you feeling and looking fabulous. If you have extractions your aesthetician will then suggest doing so. After he or she tackles your war zones they will then apply masks as well as oils, serums, and or moisturizers.

These facials are amazing for sustaining healthy skin and diminishing light acne issues. You can add this treatment to your regular skin care routine by receiving the treatment every six weeks. And don’t forget to pick out your favorite hat to wear afterwards as the extractions will leave you a bit inflamed until sunrise.

Anti-Aging Facial

Comparable to the basic facial, this treatment also features steam, exfoliation, extractions, and hydration. The difference here is the products used are formulated to benefit mature skin using ingredients heavy in antioxidants and collagen.

This facial type can also star treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

Lymphatic Facial

This facial type can be an addition to a basic facial. It targets the puffy skin that can develop around your face and neck.

Your aesthetician will massage your lymphatic glands in a kneading motion in order to decrease the pressure and water retention build up as well as increasing circulation. Swelling be gone!

Trust, it’s more luxurious than it sounds and can aid in pain from a clenched jaw or tension headaches.

Brightening Facial

Helps to fix the flat, ashy, and overworked appearance of the skin by treating hyperpigmentation with vital antioxidants. Ordinarily involves enzyme peels, acid treatments, and an infusion of vitamin C.

The outcome? Luminous radiant skin.

Microdermabrasion Facial

This is an experience where special abrasive tools are utilized to clean and remove the outer layer of skin eliminating dead cells. This is minimally invasive and can be done on most skin types.

It is beneficial in balancing the skin complexion by removing fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and any other imperfections. This can be a costly procedure but well worth it for supple, rejuvenated, skin.

LED / Color Light Therapy Facial

Ready to look like an outer space masquerade Halloween costume?

This is an electronic mask that creates wavelengths of UV-free light across your skin that can improve various conditions. Each color current has different benefits for particular issues.

Sought after for boosting collagen production, stimulating cell growth, treating acne, balancing skin tone, and smoothing wrinkles. This is a non-invasive pain-free treatment that is favorable for all skin types and can be added on to any facial.

Laser Resurfacing Facial

An invasive treatment that utilizes a laser to remove the top layer of skin by creating atomic lacerations with fractioned beams. Numbing cream is regularly used to help the level of discomfort during this procedure. Undergoing the laser is beneficial in diminishing wrinkles and fine lines, scars, blemishes, and magnified pores.

This should be done weeks before any event or vacation as redness is guaranteed to last a bit. Pain is beauty honey!
