Why are Personalized Facials Important? /
Although we often think of facials as an extravagance and they certainly are a pampering experience, they are also an important component of an ideal skin care routine due to their innumerable benefits.
In addition to being a relaxing experience, facials effectively reduce wrinkles, unclog pores, minimize acne scarring, even skin tone, give your skin a healthy glow, and improve the effectiveness of your daily skin care products.
It is crucial to take the time to care for your skin, your body’s largest organ, in order to counteract the damaging effects of environmental factors such as pollutants, the sun, and cold air, which most of us are exposed to on a daily basis. Sun exposure leads to the break down of your skin’s elasticity, causing the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Dirt, debris, sweat, and heavy makeup also wreak havoc on your skin, irritating and clogging your pores.
Without treatment, the bacteria within your pores thrives, leading to the development of blackheads, whiteheads, and papules. In addition, exposure to cold, windy air and central heating can cause excessive dryness, as the moisture and natural oils of your skin are stripped away. As a result, your skin is left feeling dry and tight, which can be incredibly irritating and a drastic aging effect. Adding regular facials to your skin care regime can successfully treat and prevent each of the above skin concerns, while also ensuring the effectiveness of your skin care routine.
What sets LipDoctor apart? /
Our personalized facials are a luxurious treatment, which provide unrivalled results
We begin by cleansing your skin, using a product suited to your skin’s needs. This process removes damaging toxins, dirt, and oil, while also preparing your skin for the next step of the facial. A relaxing steam or hot towels will then be used to open your pores, soften your skin, and enhance circulation. This process also helps ensure the success of the next step, which is exfoliation. Gentle exfoliation has a number of benefits; it removes dry skin cells, improving the texture and tone of your skin; eliminates the dirt that is trapped in your pores, preventing breakouts and shrinks pores; and fights the signs of aging by removing dull, dry skin and stimulating cell growth.
The aforementioned steps ensure that the sebum that causes clogged pores is softened, which preps your skin for manual extractions. Extractions are carefully completed by our trained esthetician in order to remove the stubborn dirt and oil not eradicated by the exfoliation process. For individuals with oily or acne prone skin, this is often the most important step, as it clears follicles, allowing your skin to breathe and preventing future breakouts. Although this step can be painful for some, our expert esthetician’s gentle touch will ensure you are kept comfortable.
The next step is a pampering facial massage, which essentially wakes up your skin, increasing circulation to facial tissue, stimulating collagen production, and restoring your skin’s brightness and youthfulness. This calming treatment also reduces stress and is an effective anti-aging procedure due to its ability to minimize the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles. A luxurious and therapeutic facial mask, suitable to your individual skin type and needs, will then be applied. This relaxing step will leave your skin tightened and toned, while also delivering personalized results suited to your complexion. For example, individuals with oily or acne prone skin will be treated to a deep cleansing mask, whereas patients who are troubled by dry, flaky skin will be indulged with a hydrating mask.

Sunscreen will then be administered to ensure that your rejuvenated skin is protected following the treatment. Following this final step, your esthetician will take the time to clearly explain the uses and benefits of each of the quality, medical grade products applied, in order to help you establish an effective home skin care regimen and ensure that the products you are using are suitable to your particular needs.
Why should facials be performed by a trained professional? /
While many individuals perform at-home facials, a trained professional should always perform these treatments in order to ensure optimal results. Skin care procedures such as extractions, for example, must be done properly as their mishandling can lead to scarring or broken capillaries. Products such as deep cleansing pore strips claim to remove blackheads, but do not effectively unclog pores and can actually damage your skin in the process. Exfoliating treatments and steaming should also be left to a professional, who can carefully assess your skin to determine the best approach and ensure that the process does not irritate your skin further.
Facials provide balance to your skin, creating a foundation which allows your regular at-home treatments to be much more efficient. Since facials treat and prevent acne, dryness, and dull, aging skin, they allow the moisturizers and serums you apply daily to be properly absorbed into the skin, enabling them to work effectively. Skin care products tend to be quite expensive so it is important to be sure that you are allowing the products you apply to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin where they will be most beneficial.
Our personalized facials are performed by expert technicians, who are dedicated to offering the highest standard of patient care.
We begin with a consultation, assessing your skin, listening to your concerns, and developing an individualized treatment plan in order to help you achieve your goals. Using only top of the line medical grade products, combined with state of the art skin care systems, we deliver exceptional results while also ensuring that your experience is extremely comfortable and relaxing. As a result, you will leave feeling restored and rejuvenated.
