A Full Facial at Dermatology Associates PC is the ultimate experience for restoring, refreshing, and rejuvenating your skin. This comprehensive treatment goes beyond the basic facial with a double cleanse, thorough exfoliation, extractions as needed, a personalized mask, and a soothing neck and shoulder massage. Every product used in a Full Facial is selected to target individual skin concerns and help you achieve your skin health goals.
Who Should Get a Full Facial?
Simply put: everyone with an epidermis! A Full Facial is designed for all skin types and tones (all Fitzpatrick skin types) and is suitable for anyone looking to improve their skin’s health and radiance. It’s also ideal for those who want a relaxing, indulgent experience while targeting specific skin concerns.
Benefits of a Full Facial
A Full Facial does wonders for your skin. Some key benefits include:
- Brighter, Youthful-Looking Skin: Facials help revive dull skin, creating a radiant glow.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: A Full Facial boosts collagen and hydration, helping to smooth and plump the skin.
- Smoother Skin Texture: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving skin softer and more even.
- Minimizes Hyperpigmentation: Helps to ease dark spots for a balanced complexion.
- Clears Pores and Limits Breakouts: Cleansing and extractions reduce bacteria and remove impurities that can cause acne.
Preparing for Your Full Facial
To get the most out of your Full Facial, it’s best to prep your skin by discontinuing Vitamin A products (like retinol, tretinoin, or adapalene) and any AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide products 48 hours before your appointment. This ensures your skin is in optimal condition for the facial treatment.
Note: If you’re taking isotretinoin for severe acne, wait six months after stopping the medication before scheduling a facial.
Is a Full Facial Painful?
Most of the Full Facial is a soothing and relaxing experience. However, if extractions are needed, you may feel a slight pinching or pressure. Extractions remove debris from clogged pores, and though there may be minor discomfort, many find the results worth it!
Downtime and Aftercare Following a Full Facial
The good news? There’s little to no downtime. If you’ve had extractions, your skin may appear blotchy or slightly puffy for a few hours, but this typically resolves within 2 to 24 hours. For aftercare, follow these simple tips:
- Be Gentle: Avoid harsh cleansers, exfoliants, or toners for a few days.
- Hydrate and Protect: Use a calming moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Skin may be more sensitive, so limit sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily.
While a Full Facial helps boost skin health and glow, it’s not a solution for deep acne scars or anti-aging, so regular facials as part of your skincare routine are recommended for best results.
How Often Should You Get a Full Facial?
Most skin experts recommend a Full Facial every 2-4 weeks to maintain healthy, radiant skin. Regular facials help your skin look and feel its best, and they’re a relaxing way to prioritize your self-care routine.
What to Expect: Duration and Cost
A Full Facial at Dermatology Associates PC typically takes 60 minutes and starts at $100. It’s an investment in your skin that pays off in a brighter, healthier complexion.
