Facials AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS

Now and again, your skin may no longer respond as well to the skincare you religiously apply every morning and evening. The skin may look dryer than usual, you may get pimples more often, and there are probably even a few aging signs.

Whatever your skincare needs, you can find effective and convenient facial treatments at Dermacare, performed under the supervision of skincare expert Dr. Jeff Birchall. Dermacare offers light treatments that can improve the overall appearance of your skin. We even have more intensive skincare treatments to address specific issues, such as clogged, irritated, or inflamed pores. Our experienced aestheticians can create an individualized skincare plan based on your skin.

Candidates for Facials

A good candidate for a facial treatment is someone who needs basic skincare maintenance without resorting to invasive methods. Most patients opt for facials to keep conditions like fine lines, wrinkles, acne, pigmentation, and dryness under control, improving their skin barrier. At the same time, you can get them when you are exposed to environmental stressors or just want to relax.

While facials are recommended for anyone wishing to maintain healthy skin, some individuals should avoid them. For instance, if you have an active skin condition or an open wound, wait until it passes. Patients who recently had injectable treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic should also wait, as the massaging action could cause it to migrate.

After a careful assessment of your skin’s needs and the look you hope to achieve, our aestheticians will begin crafting an ideal combination of treatments to rejuvenate your skin now and prevent future problems.

How Facials Works

Facial treatments work by exfoliating, cleansing, and nourishing using special tools and skincare. Dermacare offers many ways to boost your skin health, but two of our offerings prove especially helpful to many patients, and we’d like to share those with you now.

Standard Facials

Your face is as unique as you are. This is why every facial at Dermacare is customized to meet your skincare needs. Uncover the skin you deserve with a reviving facial treatment from Dermacare. From relaxing to medical grade, we have elevated the facial to a new level to help prevent damage, maintain healthy skin, and enhance medical treatments.

Regular facials geared for your skin type and unique problem areas can be among your best defenses against the development of early aging signs, keeping you looking great and giving you a wonderful way to treat yourself. Your skin can look its finest, and you can also relax with a facial at Dermacare.

Deep Pore Detoxifying Treatments

These deep-cleansing treatments are an excellent choice for detoxifying acne-prone or problematic skin. Their active blend of lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids effectively penetrates pores to dissolve dirt within the pores, kill bacteria, and reduce inflammation. They can also remove excess cell debris, leaving your skin hydrated, purified, and clear. With its strong antibacterial and antioxidant action, this treatment is a gentle yet intensive pore cleanser that can lead to dramatic results for the right candidates.

Facials Recovery

Recovery from a facial treatment is usually quick, with no potential for downtime. Most patients can return to their daily routine right after the treatment, as most facials are meant to be relaxing. That said, depending on your skin sensitivity levels, there may be a couple of side effects that you could notice temporarily. These symptoms do not last more than a day or two for most patients.
If the facial features an exfoliation and extraction technique, you may notice some redness and skin sensitivity within the next few days. Mild breakouts may also happen as the skin starts “purging” the impurities out of your skin. Some dryness and flakiness can also occur, especially if exfoliating surfaces have been used to shed the damaged skin cells. With continued hydration and moisturizing, these side effects should fade within a few days.

Facials Results

The results of a facial treatment will often depend on the facial type used. For standard facials, you will notice the effect immediately, as the skin gains an immediate glow from potential serums. Deeper, detox facials can take two to three days to show the results, as you will have to wait for the redness and other side effects to pass.
By the third to seventh day, you should be able to observe the full range of the benefits of the facial. The skin texture should look smoother and more hydrated, with fewer blemishes caused by dryness and dead skin cell buildup. Redness and puffiness should also be reduced, as most facial treatments promote lymphatic drainage.
Results generally last two to four weeks, depending on the type of facial used. To maintain their longevity, you should follow a good skincare routine that emphasizes cleansing and moisturizing. Always wear sunblock when going out and schedule regular monthly facials to keep the skin looking smooth.

Can I Combine Facials with Other Treatments?

Dermacare offers more ways to help you get the skin you want. In addition to facials and deep pore treatments, you may also qualify for fillers or injectable treatments, which can further enhance the appearance of your face, neck, and hands. Dr. Birchall can suggest treatments you might benefit from during your in-person consultation and after a complete exam. Ensuring you leave with a natural look that brings out your best qualities is of the highest importance to Dr. Birchall. He will never recommend a treatment that doesn’t fulfill a vital purpose in your overarching treatment plan.

Why Would I Benefit from a Preventative Plan?

A thoughtful and well-planned preventative care plan for the skin can be an individual’s best defense against future problems but, more importantly, a key to looking healthy and youthful now. Identifying and treating your unique set of risk factors can help you avoid problems before they can affect your looks. You can also avoid more time-consuming and costly procedures in the long run. You can’t stop aging, but you can prevent its effects on your looks with Dermacare.

What Does a Long-Term Rejuvenation Plan with Dermacare Look Like?

Dr. Birchall wants to ensure you look your best at all times and for years to come, so we offer options that can address almost any skin or facial concern. Beginning with your consultation, Dermacare can help completely customize your treatment, which may include any combination of the following options:

Gentle cleansing treatments
Antioxidant enzyme exfoliation
Extractions, if needed
Hydrating, collagen-building mask
Corrective serums, moisturizers and sunscreen
