During your facial your esthetician will assess your skin's unique needs to determine if dermaplaning can help achieve your overall skin goals. If you're a good candidate for dermaplaning, here's what you can expect: a surgical-grade scalpel is gently skimmed across your face, removing the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz. By removing dead skin, dermaplaning encourages cell turnover, revealing brighter skin, and improving the absorption of skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply and effectively.

During your facial, your esthetician will carefully evaluate your skin to see if extractions will help you achieve your desired results. Here's what the extraction process entails: your esthetician will apply gentle pressure to remove blackheads and whiteheads, which are clogged pores filled with oil and dead skin cells. This can minimize breakouts and promote a clearer, smoother complexion. Keep in mind that extractions should only be performed by a trained professional to avoid irritation or scarring.

During your facial your esthetician may incorporate cavitation: a treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasound waves to dislodge dirt, oil, and other impurities from the pores. A key benefit of cavitation is its ability to exfoliate the skin without the need for harsh ingredients. While traditional exfoliation methods can sometimes irritate the skin, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, cavitation provides a gentler alternative, effectively sloughing away dead skin cells, clearing the pores, and promoting cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion.

High Frequency is a multi-tasking skincare treatment that your esthetician may include in your facial to address both immediate and long-term skin concerns. By oxygenating the skin, High Frequency helps promote healing, reduces inflammation, and improves overall skin vitality. This treatment works to reduce breakouts, heal blemishes, and even your complexion. This powerful treatment also increases circulation and stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

To help deeply exfoliate, your Glowbar facial may incorporate a light chemical peel. Light chemical peels are packed with active ingredients, like glycolic or lactic acid, that work to gently dissolve the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This treatment has several benefits, from brightening and evening skin tone to reducing hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Unlike deeper chemical peels, which penetrate multiple layers of the skin, light peels target only the outermost layer, resulting in minimal downtime and discomfort.

If one of your main skin concerns is aging, your esthetician may incorporate microcurrent into your custom facial. This treatment emits electrical currents that cause the facial muscles to contract and relax, similar to the way they do during exercise. This gentle stimulation helps to strengthen and tone the muscles, resulting in firmer more lifted skin. Microcurrent also helps to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage which reduces puffiness and promotes a more radiant complexion.

To combat dehydration, your esthetician may incorporate a hydrating mask. Formulated with a blend of hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and green tea extract, this mask provides immediate relief for dry, dehydrated skin and improves the skin's natural hydration barrier, restoring its elasticity. Hydrating masks can also help to balance oil production, minimize the appearance of pores, and promote a more even complexion.

The benefits of LED light therapy during a facial are numerous and vary depending on the specific wavelengths used and your skin goals. In addition to its ability to target specific concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation, LED therapy also helps to improve overall skin tone, texture, and clarity. You will also experience long-term effects such as reductions in fine lines and wrinkles, improvements in skin firmness and elasticity, and a more radiant, youthful complexion.
