First Time Facial Including Skin Analysis
Diagnosis and customization are key when you first come to visit us. This visit is a deep dive into your individual skin care concerns and personalized treatment plan, along with a customized premium facial. This appointment allows your skin therapist to proactively diagnose, treat and recommend exactly what your skin needs, resulting in your best skin ever.
We need to understand what products you’re currently using so please bring them (or a list of them) to your appointment.
Our skin therapists have years of experience working with effective ingredients and protocols that have been proven to improve multiple skin concerns. Creating the correct skin care routine requires knowledge and understanding of specific ingredients and how they impact the skin. The products you use at home will both enhance the results of our treatments and get your skin to its healthiest state.
Note: Your first time visit is an 90 minute treatment, which includes a thorough skin analysis and custom premium facial. Please note treatments may be shortened or extended. Listed timings are average.
A typical facial involves a series of steps designed to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate your skin. Here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect:
- Consultation. Your therapist will ask about your skin concerns and goals to determine the best facial treatment for you.
- Cleansing. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
- Exfoliation. Your therapist will use gentle exfoliation techniques to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin.
- Extractions (if necessary). Blackheads and whiteheads may be extracted to clear your pores.
- Masking. A customized mask will be applied to your skin to address specific concerns, such as hydration, acne, or anti-aging.
- Moisturizing. Your skin will be moisturized to help lock in hydration and improve its overall appearance.
Preparing for Your First Facial
To get the most out of your facial, there are a few things you can do to prepare:
- Avoid exfoliating or using harsh products before your appointment. This can irritate your skin and make extractions more painful.
- Inform your therapist of any skin conditions or allergies. This will help them tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
- Arrive early to fill out paperwork and relax. This will help you feel more comfortable and prepared for your treatment.
What to Do After a Facial
After your facial, it’s important to take good care of your skin to maintain the results. Here are a few tips:
- Avoid touching your face. This can transfer bacteria and oils to your skin.
- Use gentle skincare products. Avoid harsh or irritating products that can irritate your skin.
- Protect your skin from the sun. Wear sunscreen daily to prevent sun damage.
Getting a facial is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience that can help improve your skin’s health and appearance. By following these tips, you can make the most of your first facial and ensure that you have a positive experience.
