Full facial rejuvenation uses non-invasive procedures like dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections and collagen stimulators to restore your natural look. This holistic approach focuses on your unique anatomy for harmonious results that look natural and flawless.

Facialists recommend drinking plenty of water prior to any facial treatment and refraining from using skincare products containing active ingredients for 24 hours after completing treatment.

Cleansing

There are various kinds of facials, but most will typically consist of cleansing, exfoliation, steaming, extractions (removing blackheads for instance), product application and facial massage – sometimes also including masks or hydration treatments.

Estheticians typically begin their facials by pre-cleansing to remove makeup and dirt from a client’s skin, softening it further to allow products to penetrate more easily into it. This step also makes absorption simpler.

Next comes a deep cleanse to rid the skin of impurities. While this step varies depending on the type of facial being performed, Geneo facials use a cleanser designed specifically to gently exfoliate without pulling or tugging at your skin – helping it continue its natural cycle of regeneration.

Exfoliation

Facialists use gentle cleansers to safely remove makeup, dirt and other debris from your face, as well as to slough away dead skin cells for brighter, smoother-feeling skin. Exfoliation may involve physical ingredients like granules or scrubs as well as chemical exfoliants like alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic acid), beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) and polyhydroxy acids (lactic acid).

Other facialists employ manual exfoliation methods like dermaplaning to manually “shave off” dead, dry skin cells and fine vellus hair (known as peach fuzz) from the uppermost layer with a surgical scalpel to improve product absorption while simultaneously increasing skin hydration levels – this process typically lasts 10-15 minutes.

Massage

Typically, facials involve some form of massage that extends beyond just the face and shoulders to include neck, shoulders and arms, which stimulates lymphatic drainage and decreases puffiness. Some facials also include light pressure point or acupressure treatments in order to address specific skin concerns like dryness and acne.

Some facials incorporate specialist equipment or massage techniques into their treatments for fine lines and wrinkles, also known as anti-ageing or firming facials. They may include gentle peels or deep exfoliations as part of this type of treatment to boost collagen production – essential in combatting fine lines as we get older.

Hydration

A classic facial includes cleansing, exfoliation, extraction (removing blemishes like blackheads), massage and hydration in one treatment for beautifying results. Some facials go beyond simple potions and lotions; for instance a LED (light-emitting diode) facial uses different kinds of light to improve skin tone while DiamondGlow facial combines mechanical exfoliation with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid infusion to plump and brighten your complexion.

Geneo skincare products offer natural-looking results when integrated into an effective daily skincare regimen, so adding Geneo products into your skincare regime can ensure optimal long-term success.

Treatments

There is an array of treatments available when it comes to facial treatments. Some may rely on potions and lotions applied with massage techniques; other techniques involve specialist equipment, like medical-grade devices to blast pores clean; facial steamers that soften skin in order to facilitate extractions or product absorption; or oxygen facials which use wand-like machines that emit high-pressure jets of serum; all provide different outcomes.

No matter the type of facial you choose, its benefits include clearer and plumper skin; reduced puffiness and redness; as well as an overall more radiant look. Regular facials combined with an effective daily skincare regimen can even help prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming; for best results speak with an aesthetician in order to find an appropriate treatment that meets your individual needs.
