Look And Feel Rejuvenated With Customized Facials

Customized facials are perfect for every individual because they can address various needs and skin concerns. Some people want to target signs of premature aging, while others struggle with acne flare-ups or a patchy complexion. Regardless of the skin issue you wish to treat, a customized facial will use the right products and techniques to target your concerns.

Why Consider a Custom facial?

No two people have the same skin type, and a customized facial will tailor the treatment to specifically cater to your skincare needs. You may require deep cleansing techniques, exfoliation, extraction or more high-tech procedures like peels and micro-needling to see results. The Esthetician may offer a head, neck and shoulder massage to complement your facial. They will create a personalized experience to treat your skin concerns.

What to Expect

Your Esthetician will first conduct a consultation to understand your concerns. They will assess your skin conditions you wish to treat and determine the necessary techniques and products. They can customize your facial only when they have the correct information, and you must be honest to receive the proper care. If you need clarification on your skin type, do not worry; they will examine your skin to determine if it is oily, dry, or a combination of both.

Professional Estheticians are highly trained and recognize different skin types. They will create a skincare treatment designed specifically for you, and a customized facial will make you look and feel rejuvenated. You will notice a difference immediately and see visible results, and your Esthetician will make professional recommendations regarding the number of treatments you require. This will depend on the condition of your skin and the issue you want to treat.

A customized facial is very different from a regular facial because it caters to your needs and concerns, and this treatment is created just for you. Do not be afraid to speak up because your Esthetician needs as much information as possible to provide an exceptional facial experience. Getting to know you is an essential part of the process, and this is your opportunity to discuss the skin concerns you’d like to focus on. Communication is the key to achieving desired results.
