Some people might wonder, “Why do I need to pay for a facial when I can just wash, exfoliate, and apply a mask and moisturizer to my face at home?” This is kind of like asking, “Why do I need to go to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned, when I can brush and floss at home?” A professional facial goes beyond simply cleansing your face and applying a bunch of products on top. A professional facial is a collection of skin care treatments for the face that not only include skin analysis, deep cleansing, exfoliation, mask, and hydration; but also uses professional grade products and specialized treatments that are customized specifically your individual skincare needs, concerns and goals.

Some facials also include mechanical treatments, such as microdermabrasion, that use specialized equipment to safely go deeper than the top layer of your skin with precision and controlled pressure. Mechanical exfoliation allows for serums and other products to be absorbed deeper and more readily by the epidermis and therefore are more effective than any at home treatment. Treatments such as extractions are performed safely and in a sterile environment by a trained professional thus decreasing the risk of scarring, dark marks or spreading bacteria. Furthermore, the concentration and formulation of the products used require extensive knowledge and training to safely deliver results that go beyond retail grade products. All of the physical benefits aside, the psychological benefits are an added bonus as facials help to reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, improve mood and self-esteem.
