Face The Truth Skin Health Blog

Facials are one way to elevate your skincare through special treatments. With a variety of types of facials, it's beneficial to know what's best for you before setting an appointment at Facials by Tonya. Here are a few questions to ask before, during, or after one of our facials: 

What Is a Facial?

A facial is a skincare treatment involving various steps to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin on the face. It can include steaming, extractions, facial massages, masks, and the application of various skincare products tailored to your skin type and concerns.

What Are the Benefits of Getting a Facial?

Facials can offer several benefits for the skin, including hydration and rejuvenation. These treatments can help improve skin tone and texture. They can also help unclog pores, reduce acne and blemishes, increase blood circulation, and promote relaxation. You may see a general boost to the overall health and appearance of the skin.

How Often Should I Get a Facial?

The frequency that you get a facial depends on many factors, including your skin type, concerns, and budget. Speak with a skincare professional to determine how often you should get a facial. People with specific skin issues or undergoing a targeted treatment plan may need more frequent visits, depending on their skin's condition before the facial and how it reacts to the treatment.

What Skin Type Can Receive a Facial?

Most facials can be customized to suit different skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin. Skincare professionals can customize the treatment and product selection to address specific concerns and keep skin healthy. All skin types can receive facials, but some may not need to get these treatments as often as others.

Dermalinfusion and Microdermabrasion are two popular treatments at Facials by Tonya. While both treatments can benefit your skin and provide great results, there are some key differences between the two. Here are some of the differences and benefits of Dermalinfusion and Microdermabrasion skin treatments: 

Understanding Microdermabrasion

The skin's texture, tone, and look are renewed with Microdermabrasion, a non-invasive exfoliation procedure. Estheticians gently exfoliate the top layer of skin using a handheld instrument that utilizes tiny crystals or a wand with a diamond tip. This procedure results in a renewed and refreshed complexion by helping to eliminate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen synthesis. Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, UV damage, and an uneven skin tone can all be efficiently treated with Microdermabrasion.

Exploring Dermalinfusion

Dermalinfusion is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that goes beyond traditional exfoliation. It utilizes a patented technology that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses specialized serums into the skin. This treatment uses a handheld technical gadget that gently vacuums away dead skin cells and penetrates the skin with specific serums. This process optimizes hydration, nourishment, and rejuvenation, resulting in a more luminous and youthful complexion. Dermalinfusion can address many skin concerns, including dullness, dehydration, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture.

The Dermalinfusion equipment we use also aids in the removal of blackheads and other skin imperfections. A tailored serum that moisturizes and feeds the skin is then infused into the skin to complete the procedure. Technicians can customize the serum used in Dermalinfusion to match each customer's requirements. Numerous conditions, such as stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation, can be addressed with the treatment. Patients can benefit from numerous treatments, like smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.
