Getting A Facial In NYC: What They Treat & How They Work
Facial peels have been around for decades, with the Egyptian, Greeks and Romans using myriad of techniques to beautify their skin.
They’re still used today; but the methods and techniques of application have changed significantly. From special sponges to customized machines, the way beauty products are applied have evolved and changed immensely.
At The Dermatology and Laser Group, we offer several types of facials and cleaning treatments. Based on our extensive experience, we have selected the best options to provide our Midtown, Manhattan patients. We narrowed it down to just a few that are most effective, from a myriad of options including: Gold facials, chocolate masks, bio-lift facials, paraffin facials, etc. These are a few that come to mind when referring to ‘special’ facials.
Celebrity-endorsed facials have become famous because of their association to Hollywood, famous artists and models. Furthermore, famous individuals are seen having the ‘perfect’ skin.
Because of this, special masks and treatments have now become the norm. Most individuals— men or women—get a facial treatment every fifteen days or on monthly basis.
How Are Facials and Peels Beneficial?
Facial masks and peels are special skin treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin. Different types have different effects on the skin. Depending on the skin type, some types of treatments show results almost immediately.
However, the most common type of facial is the chemical peel. This is the type of mask that is applied to damaged skin. This is effective because of the almost immediate results that show up after the application. Furthermore, it cleans the pores of the face thoroughly and exfoliates dead skin cells.
Clogged pores have unwanted bacteria within your skin’s layers. Chemical peels and facials help dissolve them.
Oxygen Facial
Oxygen facial is beneficial for those who have dry and flaky skin. It helps rehydrate the skin’s cells and opens the pores. The application used helps to moisturize the skin on a deeper level, leaving it soft, supple, smooth and with a dewy complexion.
It also helps reduce fine lines; the treatment process uses light pressure movements to slowly and carefully massage the skin. This helps relax the client and reduce stress. The use of Hyaluronic acid helps seal in hydration and moisture.
HydraFacial MD Super Facial
This type of facial is the perfect all-in-one treatment! The HydraFacial MD Super Facial cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates and peels away dead skin layers to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin.
