Facials and peels have become go-to treatments for anyone desiring to improve their skin’s impression and health. With so many options, it’s important to know what to expect when you dive into these treatments. Whether you’re looking to smooth out fine lines, even out your skin tone, or hydrate your skin, facials and peels offer a range of benefits. Let’s break down what happens during these treatments so you can confidently walk in.
Facials and peels aren’t one-size-fits-all; each treatment targets specific skin concerns. Here’s a closer look at the options available and what makes them tick.
Luna DiamondGlow Facials
The Luna DiamondGlow series offers facials tailored to your skin’s needs. These treatments don’t just sit on the surface; they work deep into the skin, helping you achieve noticeable results.
- Hydrating: If your skin feels tight and dry, the Hydrating facial is your go-to. It dives deep to replenish moisture, using hyaluronic acid to pull in and retain water, giving your skin that plump, dewy look. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule in your skin that decreases as you age, so this treatment helps to replenish what’s been lost, leaving your skin looking youthful and refreshed.
- Balancing: Do you have oily or combination skin? The Balancing facial helps keep oil in check without stripping your skin. It uses salicylic acid to penetrate the pores, clearing out excess oil and preventing breakouts. Plus, niacinamide strengthens your skin’s barrier, helping control sebum production and smooth your skin.
- Brightening: If dullness or uneven skin tone is your concern, the Brightening facial has you covered. Vitamin C is the star here, known for reducing dark spots and evenening your skin tone. It’s combined with gentle exfoliants to help reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.
DiamondGlow Facial
The DiamondGlow Facial takes a more advanced approach to skincare, offering both exfoliation and infusion in one go. It’s like a one-two punch for your skin, removing dead cells and delivering nutrients where they’re needed most.
- Standard Facial: This isn’t your typical facial. It starts with exfoliation using a diamond-tipped wand, which gently buffs away dead skin cells. This step is key because it allows the following serums to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. Whether your skin needs hydration, brightening, or acne treatment, the customized serums are infused directly into the skin for immediate and noticeable results.
- Back Facial: Skin care shouldn’t stop at your face. The Back Facial treats skin issues like acne and dryness on your back. Just like the facial for your face, it includes cleansing, exfoliation, and serum infusion to leave your back skin clear, smooth, and refreshed.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels go a step further by using acids to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin underneath. These peels also stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and skin renewal.
- Perfect 10 Peel: Looking for a deep exfoliation? The Perfect 10 Peel combines powerful acids like glycolic acid, which breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, making them easier to remove. This peel improves skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, leaving your skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated.
- SkinBetter Peel: If you’re new to chemical peels or have sensitive skin, the SkinBetter Peel offers a gentler approach. It still provides significant exfoliation and skin renewal but with minimal downtime. The acids and enzymes used work primarily on the skin’s surface, promoting a smoother, more revitalized appearance without the intense peeling that stronger peels can cause.
Who is a Good Candidate for Facials and Peels?
Facials and peels can work wonders for various skin types and concerns. Whether you’re battling signs of aging, uneven tone, or acne, there’s likely a treatment that can help. The science behind these treatments is pretty straightforward—they target specific skin issues right at the cellular level. For example, aging skin can benefit from treatments that boost collagen production, while those with acne-prone skin might find peels that clear out clogged pores to be particularly effective.
Before you jump in, though, a consultation with a skincare professional is key. They’ll assess your skin and help you choose the right treatment for you.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Knowing what happens during a facial or peel can make the whole experience smoother. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from start to finish.
Preparation
Before your treatment, there are a few things you’ll need to do to prep your skin. Avoid heavy makeup and excessive sun exposure leading up to your appointment. These steps ensure that your skin is in the best possible shape for treatment and can help reduce the risk of post-treatment pigmentation issues.
Treatment Process
- Cleansing: Every treatment starts with a deep cleanse to remove any surface impurities. This step preps your skin for the active ingredients that are about to be applied, ensuring they can penetrate deeply and work their magic.
- Application: Depending on your treatment, a variety of products will be applied to your skin. For facials, this could include a mix of cleansers, masks, and serums. An exfoliating chemical solution is applied to peels to remove the outer layers.
- Advanced Techniques: Some treatments, like the DiamondGlow Facial, use advanced techniques like dermaplaning or serum infusion. Dermaplaning gently scrapes off dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your skin ultra-smooth. Serum infusion ensures that your skin gets a concentrated dose of active ingredients, helping to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness.
- Relaxation: One of the best parts of a facial is the relaxation. Many treatments include soothing masks and massages that not only benefit your skin but also help you unwind. The gentle massage increases blood circulation, which delivers more nutrients to your skin cells and enhances the overall rejuvenation process.
Aftercare Tips
Your skincare professional will give you aftercare instructions after your treatment. This usually includes avoiding sun exposure, using a gentle cleanser, and keeping your skin moisturized. If you’ve had a peel, you may need to steer clear of exfoliating products for a few days to allow your skin to heal properly. And don’t forget to keep up with your sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin from UV damage.
