We are familiar with the procedures to get done in a spa, like different types of massages, but the idea of a facial spa can still bring some confusion.
Coincidently, one of the most popular spa treatments of all time is actually the facials. They are made to boost the immediate appearance of the skin and nourish it by exfoliating and cleansing. Furthermore, these treatments improve the overall health and longevity of the skin, and the main difference between venues is the products and tools used on the client, which could justify the difference in prices.
Among the facials, there are many sub-treatments you can choose from. The name of those treatments usually talks about the type of technology or method involved, as it is possible to see one of the next examples:
- Oxygen Facial: These can benefit many skin concerns, like fine lines, facial redness, and dull skin. During an oxygen facial, an airbrush-like device will be used to spray concentrated oxygen directly into the skin. The air contains essential minerals that plump and brightens the skin.
- Microdermabrasion: In this method, a wand sprays extremely fine crystals onto the skin is the tool of choice. It will work by removing dead skin cells and providing deep exfoliation. Depending on the establishment, the wand might have a tip made of diamond that also buffs the skin. It will work by removing dead skin cells and providing deep exfoliation.
- LED Light Facial: LED light therapy is perfect for anyone suffering from acne and can benefit people with aging skin. This treatment uses LED light power to penetrate the skin’s layers.
Other trendy facials are platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also known as the Vampire Facial, Dermaplaning, and Microneedling. New methods are also being created, so this is a topic of much discussion to find the best one among all the options available to improve your facial skin at a spa!
