While the holidays may not be a direct cause of hair loss, the stress they inflict can certainly lead to diffuse hair shedding.
Medical Facial in Fort Washington, PA
ABOUT FACIALS
A good home skin care routine is important to keep your complexion healthy, but occasionally, you may need a little more help with a medical-grade facial. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Aradhna Saxena recommends regularly scheduled customized facials for her Fort Washington and Lansdale, PA patients to keep their complexions healthy. After a thorough consultation to assess your visible and hidden skin damage, the best medical-grade products and facial techniques will be selected to help rejuvenate your skin. To rejuvenate and pamper your skin even more, you can upgrade your facial by adding another treatment, like dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or an injectable wrinkle relaxer. Schedule your appointment for a professional facial at Spa 361 at the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute to elevate the health and beauty of your skin to the next level.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Professional facials at Spa 361 at the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute are suitable for all ages and skin types because they are customized to each person’s needs and concerns. Typically, facials are created to correct signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, and dry patches), improve sun-damaged skin (dark spots, rough texture, and uneven tone), deep clean (acne and clogged pores), and to brighten dull and sallow skin. Facials can be designed to help teens or adults with chronic conditions like acne outbreaks, sensitive skin, and rosacea.
PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE
After your consultation to develop your best treatment based on your skin type and concerns, you will relax in one of our private treatment rooms as your facial begins. Every facial is unique, but most begin with a deep cleansing to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. After that, steam is used to open clogged pores so that blackheads and whiteheads can be extracted. If you choose, this can be followed by dermaplaning.
DERMAPLANING
This treatment involves gently scraping the surface layer of the skin with a facial blade. It is a gentle yet effective type of physical exfoliation that removes the vellus hair (peach fuzz) and top layer of dead and damaged skin cells to uncover the new, healthier cells beneath. The removal of the vellus hair can dramatically brighten the look of your complexion and allow makeup to settle more evenly on the skin.
Finally, a deep nourishing mask or serum will be massaged into your skin, and an SPF moisturizer will be applied to protect from sun damage after the treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Following your facial, you may see some redness and irritation, but this should subside naturally within a day. Many patients will see visible improvements in the appearance and feel of their skin immediately after their treatment. To maintain and enhance the results of your facial, please talk to one of our experienced team members about creating a home skin care regimen and how often you can schedule a professional facial at Spa 361 at the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute. You may also want to discuss additional treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
