Day in and day out, your skin needs basic care such as exfoliation, cleansing, and moisturizing. These steps help maintain your skin’s health and appearance. However, every once in a while, your skin also requires deeper treatments to reset and revitalize it.
Facials can be part of your monthly skincare routine by providing a more intensive and targeted treatment. At Venus Rising Med Spa in downtown Vancouver, we offer several different facial options to boost your skincare routine. Our treatments can provide the deep care your skin needs to look and feel refreshed.
A facial is a comprehensive skincare treatment involving several steps, including cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. Facials treat various skin concerns, including acne, aging, and dullness, offering tailored solutions for different needs. This type of treatment can leave your skin feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.
Anti-aging facials are designed to combat signs of aging. This type of facial focuses on boosting collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity. By incorporating ingredients like antioxidants and peptides, they help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular anti-aging facials can leave your skin looking firmer and more youthful.
Anti-acne facials involve deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Specialized masks and serums are used to calm the skin and prevent future breakouts. These facials can be particularly beneficial for maintaining clear and healthy skin.
Microdermabrasion treatments gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells using a diamond-tipped device or fine crystals. It can help reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion facials are ideal for achieving smoother and more radiant skin.
Chemical peels, such as Epionce® chemical peels, provide a deeper exfoliation for the skin. During the treatment, we apply a solution to the skin that gently removes the top layers of skin. We can choose different strengths of chemical peels to cater to the individual. Lighter peels such as the Epionce Refresh peel are perfect for the first treatment and can do everything from brightening the skin to reducing acne. Stronger Peels like the Epionce Correct peel are useful for more severe concerns.
We use traditional microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with Morpheus8 to rejuvenate the face. These methods create small holes in the skin, which allows products to seep into the skin more deeply and causes the body to create more collagen in the facial area. RF microneedling combines this with radiofrequency energy for deeper skin tightening. These treatments can improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, and overall skin tone.
Microneedling can also be combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). PRF is a biomaterial derived from centrifuged blood. It has a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, leukocytes, and growth factors, which promote tissue regeneration and healing. Combined with microneedling, PRF enhances collagen production and accelerates the rejuvenation process.
IPL photofacials using Lumecca technology offer a non-surgical facial rejuvenation option that uses intense pulsed light to treat skin imperfections. This treatment targets pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, and sun damage. By targeting red and brown pigmentations, this treatment can break down these irregularities without damaging the skin. IPL can also help stimulate more collagen production and can be used on many skin types.
Exfoliation is a fundamental part of any facial treatment. By removing dead skin cells from the surface, it helps to unclog pores and smooth the skin’s texture. Regular exfoliation can improve the absorption of skincare products and make them more effective. It also promotes a brighter complexion by revealing the fresh, healthy skin beneath.
Properly hydrated skin is more resilient and appears more youthful. Hydrating treatments can help to restore moisture balance, especially for those with dry or dehydrated skin. This improves the skin’s appearance and enhances its barrier function while protecting against environmental stressors.
Collagen is a fibrous protein that provides strength and structural integrity to tissues. Facials that stimulate collagen production can help to firm and tighten the skin. Techniques such as microneedling and certain laser treatments encourage the skin to produce more of this important protein. This process helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and firms sagging skin around the jawline, neck, eyes, and cheeks.
Hyperpigmentation, caused by sun damage or hormonal changes, can be addressed with many facial treatments. Chemical peels, laser therapy, and certain serums break down excess melanin in the skin.
A balanced pH helps to keep the skin’s protective barrier intact, which wards off bacteria and other irritants. Facials often include toners and masks that restore the skin’s natural pH. This balance supports overall skin health and can help to prevent issues such as dryness and acne.
Professional extraction is safer than attempting extractions on your own. DIY extractions can lead to skin damage, scarring, and infection. During a facial rejuvenation treatment, a trained esthetician uses sterile tools and techniques to remove impurities from the pores. This method minimizes trauma to the skin and promotes a more effective and hygienic outcome.
Treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peels remove old skin cells, encouraging new ones to surface. This process enhances skin texture and tone, making it look fresher and more vibrant. Regular facials support this natural renewal process, and keep your skin in optimal condition.
Every facial will be adjusted based on your skin type. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, choosing the right products and techniques is part of our job. This approach helps to ensure that your skin receives the appropriate care and benefits from the treatment.
Your skin’s needs can change with the seasons. In winter, you might need more hydration, while summer might call for treatments that manage oil and sun damage. Adjusting your facial routine to suit the season can help maintain your skin’s health and appearance year-round.
