Anti-aging facial
Combats the signs of aging
An anti-aging facial is a skincare treatment designed to combat the signs of aging and promote a more youthful, healthy appearance. This type of facial focuses on reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots, while improving the skin’s elasticity and firmness. It uses a combination of techniques, products, and technologies to stimulate cell renewal and enhance the skin’s texture and tone.
Steps:
-
Initial Consultation – Skin Evaluation: A professional examines your skin to identify specific needs and customize the treatment. Your concerns, goals, and skincare history are discussed.
-
Cleansing – Removal of Impurities: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, dirt, and dead skin cells. This step prepares the skin for better absorption of the products to follow.
-
Exfoliation – Physical or Chemical: Exfoliation is performed to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. This can be done using physical exfoliants (scrubs) or chemical exfoliants (such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acids).
4. Mask – Application of Anti-Aging Mask: A mask containing active ingredients such as retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, or vitamins C and E is applied. These masks are designed to hydrate, firm, and improve the skin's elasticity.
5. Facial Massage – Stimulation and Relaxation: A facial massage is performed to enhance circulation, relax facial muscles, and aid product absorption. The massage also helps relieve tension and stress, which can contribute to premature aging.
6. Advanced Technology Treatment (Optional) – Additional Therapies: Depending on the treatment, technologies such as radiofrequency, microcurrents, or LED therapy may be incorporated to improve skin firmness and elasticity.
7. Hydration and Protection – Moisturizer Application: A moisturizer is applied to lock in hydration and protect the skin. A broad-spectrum sunscreen may also be applied to shield the skin from sun damage.
8. Post-Treatment Advice – Care Recommendations: Guidance is provided on how to care for your skin after the treatment, including recommended products to maintain the results.
