Question 1

What is a facial? Why do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A facial is a professional cleansing, purifying, and beautifying treatment of the skin on the face and neck. Facials are the number one treatment performed by estheticians, and a good way for your therapist to get a good understanding of your skin prior to suggesting more aggressive treatments.

Question 2

What is microdermabrasion, and how will I benefit from it?

Accepted Answer

Microdermabrasion is a method of exfoliation (https://www.ascpskincare.com/media/consumer_education_exfoliation.php)that uses a machine to remove dead surface skin cells and initiate cellular turnover. Microdermabrasion can be helpful to treat aging and sun-damaged skin, altered pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and some types of acne and acne scarring. It is especially effective in treating the under-eye area and crow’s feet. Results may include improved skin tone, reduced visual appearance of aging, fewer breakouts, diminished appearance of scars, refined skin pores, renewed elasticity, and a healthy glow.

Question 3

What causes acne? How can skin care treatments help?

Accepted Answer

Acne is the most common skin disorder, and 85 percent of all Americans will experience it some time in their lifetime. While commonly thought to be an adolescent problem, it can appear at any age, most often on the face, back, and chest.
The causes of acne are complex, but usually involve the overproduction of oil, the blockage of follicles that release the oil, and the growth of bacteria in those follicles. This can be triggered by many things, including a change in medications or a change in hormone levels caused by stress or other factors. It’s important to treat acne early to avoid scarring.

Question 4

What are your prior facial rules?

Accepted Answer

You cannot receive a Chemical Peel if you have had aggressive facials that remove the top layer of the skin either two weeks before or after the date of your Chemical Peel treatment (ie: Hydrafacial, Dermaplaning, Oxygeneo, Chemical Peel)
AHA’s/BHA’s cannot be combined with High Frequency skin treatments either one week before or after the date of your Chemical Peel treatment.
Notify me if you have an Aspirin allergy or Salicylic sensitivity. The service can be performed, but I will not be able to use Salicylic Acid on you. I can safely use an alternate acid. 
 
FILLERS + INJECTABLES RULES:  You cannot receive a Chemical Peel if you have had Botox, aesthetic fillers, injectables, or laser treatments within two weeks prior to the Chemical Peel service.
