FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FACIALS

How Often Should I Get A Facial?

Ideally, get a facial every four to six weeks because that's how long it takes the skin to regenerate. Try to have a facial at least four times a year, as the season changes. You may need it more frequently if you are trying to clear up a case of acne, especially at the beginning.

Are there different kinds of facials?

Variations on the classic European facial include the "mini-facial" (cleansing without extractions) and specialty facials. Add vitamin C, and you have an "age defense" facial. It's an "oxygen facial" when a mist of pure oxygen is part of the treatment, and a "collagen facial" when special collagen sheets are placed on the skin. An acne facial will pay special attention to extractions.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is the support structure for skin, giving skin its resilience. It lies just beneath the outer layer, or epidermis, of the skin.

What Is Collagen Made Of?

Collagen is made up of a network of fibers that provides a framework for the growth of cells and blood vessels.
