Facial Services
Regular facials are one of the best ways to keep your skin smooth, clear and radiant. These simple treatments can visibly revive your skin and help your results from other cosmetic treatments last longer. Customized facials can even address your specific skin concerns and needs in ways not possible with at-home skincare. Facials are also a great way to decompress in the hands of a trusted professional.
At Persona™ Med Spa, we offer a range of facial services to our Houston, TX, clients. Our facial services include extractions, exfoliation and nonsurgical skin tightening. Whether you’re a returning client or a skincare novice, we guarantee there is a facial treatment to meet your needs at our med spa.
What Exactly Is a Facial?
A facial is a multi-step skincare treatment performed at cosmetic salons or medical spas. Facials can be performed monthly as part of a regular skincare regime or be a one-time cosmetic treatment to refresh your skin before a big event.
Facial services are usually customized to address specific skin issues and suit different skin types. Deep clean facials remove impurities and exfoliate the skin, while massage facials deliver nourishing ingredients to the skin and relax facial muscles. But a typical facial usually involves the following steps: steaming, extraction of clogged pores, exfoliation of dead skin, relaxing massage and application of creams, serums and sun protection.
While many of the steps in a typical facial can be performed at home and with drugstore products, this can’t compare to getting a professional facial -- especially in a medical setting.
Benefits of Facials
There’s a reason medical facial services remain popular: they offer many tangible benefits not seen with DIY treatments or relaxation-focused spa facials.
Here are some of these benefits explained:
- Healthier skin A medical facial can combat common skin issues, including acne, clogged pores, redness, dark spots, discoloration and dull skin. A customized facial addresses specific concerns by targeting the underlying cause with powerful ingredients or technologies. For example, if your main issue is acne, your provider may suggest a combination of exfoliation and LED light therapy.
- Visible rejuvenation While skin aging is inevitable, you can postpone it by keeping your skin healthy with regular facials. Facials with medical-grade ingredients can also reverse some of the earliest signs of aging, such as fine lines, enlarged pores and dark spots. When paired with rejuvenation treatments, a facial can make you look youthful and refreshed.
- Deep cleansing Most cleansers can only go so deep to remove impurities from your skin. A professional facial treatment goes deep into your pores to ensure all impurities are removed. A facial removes the buildup of sebum, oil, dead skin cells and debris to leave you with glowing and squeaky-clean skin.
- More profound results Aesthetic professionals use equipment, techniques and products not available at home or in spas that have been clinically proven to improve the appearance and health of the skin. By removing dead skin cells and impurities and jumpstarting collagen production, a multi-step facial can leave you with better skin on a deeper level.
In addition to softening existing wrinkles, wrinkle relaxers can also be used preventively, i.e., to stop wrinkles in their tracks. The terms "preventative Botox" or "baby Botox" are often used to describe this type of treatment.
Facial Services Available at Persona™
At our Houston, TX med spa, we offer a number of facials and treatments that address common skin concerns:
DiamondGlow®
DiamondGlow® is a type of mechanical exfoliation treatment. The DiamondGlow® wand is a cutting-edge resurfacing device that offers deep but gentle exfoliation and cleansing. The wand has a recessed diamond tip that gently removes dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin. The device includes high-powered suction for deep pore cleansing.
We love this treatment because it is highly customizable. Even if you have sensitive skin, this treatment can be adjusted to offer gentle exfoliation. We also incorporate curated serums and other products into the treatment that are delivered deep into the skin to provide an immediate glow.
Diamond® Ultralift Microcurrent Facial
For a noninvasive facelift facial, we use the Diamond® Ultralift device that treats facial muscles with low-grade electrical currents (microcurrents). Originally used to treat facial muscle paralysis, microcurrent is now widely used in facial services to bring back youthful contours.
Because facial beauty is more than skin deep, this treatment addresses one of the most common problems associated with aging: sagging skin. By stimulating muscles that hold the skin in place, this treatment can give you firmer, smoother and rejuvenated skin, especially when used regularly.
Chemical Peels
For deep exfoliation, a chemical peel can do wonders. We offer gentle peels that are suitable for sensitive skin types and darker skin tones, with a quick and comfortable recovery. We also offer deeper peels that can provide more dramatic results.
A chemical peel facial can help unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, minimize redness, lighten the skin, even out your skin tone and even diminish fine lines and enlarged pores. In other words, these treatments can do it all. We often combine chemical peels with other facial treatments for the best results.
