A facial treatment is an ideal way to enhance the health and appearance of your skin. It consists of several steps that cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize.
A facial can be a soothing and rejuvenating experience that leaves your complexion looking clear and healthy. If you’re unsure which type of facial is best suited for you, consult an esthetician.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive facial exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hairs, commonly referred to as “peach fuzz.” Not only does it smooth out uneven texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and leave your skin glowing naturally, dermaplaning can provide you with an overall healthy glow!
An esthetician uses a scalpel-like tool to gently scrape away unwanted hairs and dead skin cells. The procedure is safe, and can be performed by either an experienced licensed aesthetician or board-certified dermatologist.
A sterile blade is held at a 45-degree angle and gently dragged across the skin, eliminating peach fuzz, dead cells, and small vellus hair that can make your face appear dull or uneven.
This procedure can be performed on all skin types and is ideal for anyone wanting a deeper exfoliation that allows other skincare products to penetrate better. Additionally, it helps reduce acne scars and fine lines.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that gently scrapes away the top layer of dead cells to reveal younger, smoother skin beneath. This minimally abrasive procedure is ideal for treating light scarring, discoloration, sun damage and stretch marks by restoring moisture levels in your skin and stimulating collagen production.
Additionally, laser skin tightening reduces fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the appearance of early sun damage and sunspots, as well as acne scars or other marks left by blemishes or other skin lesions. It is especially effective for aging or dull skin types and often performed prior to chemical peels or laser treatments for optimal results.
During the treatment, tiny crystals are sprayed onto your skin to gently lift away any dead skin cells on the outer layer. Following, vacuum suction collects and eliminates used crystals, revealing fresh skin beneath. Finally, you can apply moisturizer for extra hydration and to enjoy its rejuvenating effects.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels are a widely-used facial rejuvenation treatment in Montreal that can help reverse sun damage and brighten skin tone. The exfoliating chemicals used in a peel can improve fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars and other common skin issues by gently exfoliating away dead skin cells.
Patients with fair to light-colored skin tend to benefit more from peels, though dark-skinned individuals may also experience them. The procedure isn’t recommended for sagging or bulging skin or more severe wrinkles – those would require other cosmetic surgical procedures instead.
Before receiving a chemical peel, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have or medications you take. They will review your health history and perform a physical examination to verify its safety for you.
Chemical peels are generally safe and effective for most patients; however, if you have a history of keloids or unusual scarring patterns, your doctor may suggest alternative treatments. Furthermore, there is a small chance that cold sores may reactivate; in such cases your doctor can provide medication to either prevent or treat this risk.
