Getting the most from your facial means following a few simple aftercare steps after your treatment. Avoid applying makeup or other products right after a facial. If possible, avoid sunlight and consider relaxing or taking a nap right after your facial to keep your mind and body relaxed. Stay hydrated to improve circulation and metabolism after your facial. Don’t work-out or get a hot shower the day of your facial as it may irritate the skin. Finally, following a healthy skin care routine, can help you maintain healthy, beautiful skin between your facial appointments.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can benefit from facials?
Both men and women can enjoy the many benefits of regular facial treatments. Facials offer a great way to pamper yourself by providing a scheduled time for relaxation and mental reflection, but they are also an important component of ongoing skin care, regardless of your age, gender, and skin type.
While it’s true that individuals who suffer from chronic skin conditions such as acne can use these treatments to maintain healthier skin, facials offer benefits for all skin types. Ultimately, regardless of whether you have a specific skin concern or you just want to enjoy generally healthy skin, you can absolutely benefit from a facial.
What does a facial do for my skin?
Facials are customized skin care treatments delivered by experienced beauty therapists. These treatments are designed to maintain or improve your skin by determining and then addressing its unique needs, delivering the building blocks necessary for healthy skin.
A basic facial includes thoroughly cleansing, toning, and moisturizing the skin; they may also include targeted ingredients, such as vitamins and extracts, to clarify and improve skin tone, colour, and texture. Facials can be used to remove dead skin cells for more luminous, smoother skin, clear the pores to improve acne and prevent breakouts, and reduce discoloration and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a younger, healthier appearance.
What kinds of products go into Empire Beauty Clinic's facials?
At Empire, we use only the highest quality professional products for our facials. Some of the ingredients you’ll find in our skin care products include vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, as well as several essential nutrients needed for healthy skin. We customize the application of results-specific serums, masks, moisturizers, and SPF-based products to enhance your facial based on your skin type and the results you are looking to achieve over the short and long term.
Our luxury facials only use TOSKANI cosmeceutical products to achieve superior, long lasting improvements for your skin.
What are the different kinds of facials I could get from Empire Beauty Clinic?
At Empire, we offer a variety of facials so you can choose the precise skin care solution that is right for you. We can help you maintain generally healthy skin or target specific cosmetic concerns, such as signs of aging, UV damage, environmental damage, acne, dry skin, and discoloration. Many of our facial treatments can be combined with additional options, such as mesotherapy, facial peels, and photo facial treatments, for even more dramatic and long-lasting results.
Diamond Microdermabrasion – Diamond microdermabrasion is one of the easiest and most effective ways to fight the effects of aging. In this type of treatment, dead skin cells are exfoliated and vacuumed off the face with a machine that uses tips covered in tiny diamonds. Additionally, this treatment helps increase blood flow and collagen production. This effective and non-invasive treatment is especially safe and gentle. Not only that, it is also known to be effective on acne scars or old stretch marks. This procedure is great for wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and more
Hydro Dermabrasion – a medical-grade facial rejuvenation that cleanses, detoxifies, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates in one treatment. The machine has a handheld device that uses different spiral tips and various skin care solutions (chemical exfoliants, antioxidants, and hydrating serums like hyaluronic acid) to achieve its results. The vacuum technology creates a vortex effect to easily dislodge and remove impurities while simultaneously introducing solutions that exfoliate, hydrate, and infuse your skin with antioxidants.
Dermaplaning – a facial treatment designed to deeply exfoliate dead skin cells and remove peach fuzz, leaving you with polished and glowing skin. This facial works from the outside in and helps to stimulate and increase the skins natural collagen and cell production. This treatment will heavily increase the absorption of any active ingredients by 80% opposed to 8% and includes the use of a hyaluronic acid mask and serums leaving maximum results. Dermaplaning rids your skin of clogged pores, vellus hair and makeup build, and creates clear channels into the skin as well as a soft and glowing skin surface
DermaPen MicroNeedling – a non-surgical treatment which includes a disposable needle-tip cartridge with 12 micro-needles. It is used in the repair, renewal and rejuvenation of the skin by naturally stimulating the reformation of fresh collagen. DermaPen is a skin microneedling treatment with minimum downtime which promotes scarless healing and natural collagen production in the skin to improve the appearance of scars, acne scarring, stretch marks, wrinkles, pigmentation and rejuvenate the skin.
Do facials help with anxiety/depression?
Unhappiness with the look of your skin due to acne, eczema, rosacea, scarring, or aging can affect your mood and your ability to enjoy everyday activities; if you suffer from anxiety or depression, improving the look of your face can also improve your self-esteem for a higher everyday quality of life.
Facial treatments designed to improve the health and appearance of your skin can have a significant beneficial effect on your mood, especially if you have struggled with skin issues for many years. Furthermore, facials are extremely relaxing experiences, allowing you to release your daily stresses and find mental peace and quiet in a safe and healthy way, further improving mood and providing you with the energy to face everyday challenges.
How do I prepare for my treatment?
If you’ve never had a spa facial (or even if you have), you may not know what to do before a facial. It isn’t difficult to prepare for a facial, but there are a few tips you should follow to ensure you get optimum, long-lasting results from your facial treatment.
First, you should skip any strong at-home facial treatments the week before your appointment. You should even avoid gentle exfoliation for a few days before, since exfoliation is one of the key steps in a pro facial.
Wear something comfortable. We recommend wearing clothes that are easy to change in and out of, but if you’re coming straight from work or an event that is ok too.
Do not tan or burn near your appointment because your therapist will have to perform a gentle facial to help with the sun damage, instead of one that can really target any deeper concerns you have with your skin.
You could also bring in a list of the skin care products you use at home so your therapist has the information she needs.
Check your calendar – do you have a big event coming up? Let us know ahead of time if your facial is the same day of your event. There are certain treatments and techniques they will avoid and they may have recommendations for the best time to schedule your facial for maximum results.
Don’t wax your skin for 24-48 hours before your spa facial. Waxing too soon beforehand could lead to irritation and a stinging sensation.
Be prepared to discuss your top skin concerns and your goals for your skin. Our skin experts will help you with specific treatments, but they will also help transform your at-home routine to best tackle your goals.
Show up on time and don’t forget to fill out the paperwork we have sent you via email.
Lastly, RELAX! A pro facial is meant to be relaxing, so don’t stress about how to prepare for a facial.
