Ten Reasons to Get a Facial

jwoodman69 — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 03:05:55 +0000

Rehydrate your skin — a facial helps remove dead skin cells, which enables your skin to better absorb products for protection, hydration and nourishment.
Clean impurities — cleansing the skin of impurities, oily build-up and and debris allows your skin to maintain a healthy PH balance and enhance its ability to fight off disease and aging.

Relaxing Facial

Slows aging process — a regular facial will stimulate your facial muscles and strengthen the skin’s tone, making it more resistant to sagging and wrinkling.
Professional evaluation — studies demonstrate that over 60% of people define their skin types and home care incorrectly. An esthetician is trained to correctly analyze skin types and suggest appropriate cleansing and hydrating products and, when necessary, refer clients to a dermatologist.
Reduce stress — since a lot of tension resides in the face, a good facial massage relieves tension, not only for your face and neck, but for the body overall.
Regular analysis — by getting frequent facials, your esthetician can evaluate your skin’s condition which can change based on your health, stress or age. This allows the esthetician to recommend appropriate treatments.
Product recommendations — since your skin’s condition can change, a skin care professional can help recommend specific products for your skin type. More importantly, the esthetician can show you how to correctly apply the correct combinations of products.
Alternative to invasive procedures — instead of paying for much more expensive and invasive medical procedures, a high-end salon can offer treatments such as microcurrent facials which are being touted as non-surgical facelifts.
Nutrition advice — an experienced esthetician can also recommend specific foods that are most conducive to your skin’s health and beauty.
Get pampered — okay, we admit it’s not quite a beauty benefit but it’s certainly nice to sit down, relax and have your face professionally cleaned while receiving a stellar tension-releasing facial massage.

Microdermabrasion – How it works

jwoodman69 — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 09:07:29 +0000

Microdermabrasion is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream. It’s being advanced as an “instant facelift” — an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery, chemical peels andBotoxinjections. Recently, more and more men are trying it, instead of pursuing cosmetic surgery.

So what exactly is microdermabrasion?

The Basics

Microdermabrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin. It’s usually done to the face, chest, neck, arms or hands. Before we can understand how microdermabrasion does what it does, it’s important to understand how skin works.

Your skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It’s a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through.

When you put lotions or creams on your skin, some of the moisture passes through the stratum corneum, but not all of it. This layer is home to many minor skin imperfections like fine wrinkle lines and blemishes.

All of the action in microdermabrasion takes place at the level of the stratum corneum. Since it only really targets the epidermis (and not the dermis), it is more accurate to call it micro-epi-dermabrasion. Affecting deeper layers of skin would be painful and harmful, and it would risk permanently embedding the tiny grains into the skin.

Microdermabrasion Candidatese

Microdermabrasion works especially well as a way to clean out clogged pores. It’s a useful alternative for patients whose skin is too sensitive to use anti-acne drugs like Retin-A.

Microdermabrasion Effects

The idea is that if you remove or break up the stratum corneum, the body interprets that as a mild injury and rushes to replace the lost skin cells with new and healthy ones. In the first hour after treatment, this causes mild edema (swelling) and erythema (redness). Depending on the individual, these side effects can last anywhere from an hour to two days.

This process has a few beneficial effects. With the stratum corneum gone, the skin’s surface is improved. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Some of the skin’s visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin. As microdermabrasion temporarily removes some moisture from the skin, it is always followed by the application of moisturizing creams.

Early studies suggest that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals may influence the way the lower layers of skin grow, as well, removing deeper blemishes over time. Some evidence seems to indicate that the rapid loss of skin moisture may be what triggers the lower skin layers to work overtime in speeding healthy cells up to the surface.

Fortessimo Moisturizer

Le Visage recommends that all our Orange County customers use a daily moisturizer that contains only the highest quality ingredients. As we’ve mentioned before, the Dr. Irena Eris line is one we highly recommend. If you’re over the age of 45, consider the Fortessimo Lifting and Moisturizing Day Cream from Eris. This is an advanced moisturizing cream, based on Nutrilagen™ complex, which is rich in Vitamin C, Polysaccharides and essential oils.

Lifting-Moisturizing Day Cream activates and stimulates the skin’s defense and repair mechanisms, which weaken with age. It helps to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, even in the deeper layers of the skin. It visibly minimizes wrinkles, delays the aging process and smooths and firms the skin. The moisturizer contains UV filters and is ideal under makeup.
