Facials for the Holidays

The holiday season is upon us. It’s an excellent time to think about self-care. A facial will rejuvenate you and get you ready for what’s ahead.

Several types of facials will boost wellness at this time of year. This article will discuss various types of facials so you can decide which will best accomplish glowing skin for your holiday plans.

Why Get a Facial for the Holidays?

Treat Yourself: Many of us spend the holiday season running around buying gifts and preparing meals for others. A facial is the perfect way to treat yourself. It will make you feel better and look better. It will give you a great attitude for the coming year.
The Holiday Season Wreaks Havoc on Your Skin: The cold weather, the dry heat, the stress of preparations, and the potentially unhealthy party foods… these factors can cause acne, wrinkles, swelling, and other skin conditions. A facial will minimize damage, so you look your best.
Makes a Great Gift: Facials make great gifts for friends and relatives. They are an easy gift anyone will enjoy. You won’t have to worry if a facial will fit or if the recipient already has one. You can never have too many facials!

What Type of Facial is Best for the Holiday Season?

A facial is just what you need for the holiday season. But with so many to choose from, it’s hard to pick the one that’s right for you. Here are some suggestions that will help you decide.

Signature Facials

Our Signature Facial begins with a deep cleanse, includes a relaxing upper body massage, enzyme treatment or microdermabrasion and ends with a nourishing mask. Our estheticians customize a combination of the latest facial technologies, professional-grade products, and techniques to restore the vibrance of your skin.

This holiday, consult with one of our estheticians about your holiday goals. They will customize a facial that addresses your issues.

Hydrafacials

Hydrafacials are ideal for countering the drying effects of indoor heat and outdoor winds. It is a gentle non-invasive treatment that hydrates skin and balances skin tone. Oxygen is infused into the skin to rejuvenate and repair. Serums are used to remove dead skin and reveal new, smoother skin.

Our more advanced hydrafacials include an advanced device to smooth out wrinkles and lift and tone the skin while calming inflammation and lymphatic drainage to help sculpt and lift your appearance. A device may be used to reduce inflammation and smooth wrinkles.

Dermaplaning Facial

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure that removes dead skin and unwanted facial hair (peach fuzz). It is ideal for the holidays because your skin will immediately feel smoother and appear more vibrant after completing this relaxing treatment. It is a great alternative to chemical peels if you don’t want any downtime.

Plasma Lifting Facial Rejuvenation

In this treatment, our estheticians utilize a send 13K volts of plasma through the skin to stimulate collagen production and remold the skin’s cellular structure. Your skin will glow for your holiday events as this treatment tightens skin, diminishes wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, and treats acne, scars, and stretch marks.

Chemical Peels

Our customized peels can power away dull, dead cells to illuminate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, clogged pores and blemishes. I would leave some time before your holiday events as slight redness and sloughing of the skin can occur. But, the result will be unbelievable!

How To Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation

By Morgan Merrill • March 22, 2024

Hyperpigmentation is discoloration of the skin. It can happen for various reasons and often appears as age spots, sun spots or liver spots. Most people aren’t as concerned with the cause of hyperpigmentation as they are focused on getting rid of it. Fortunately, there are skin treatments – such as our Advanced Facial with Signature Chemical Peel – that diminishes the appearance of hyperpigmentation. In some cases, discoloration may even go away completely. Our Advanced Facial Treatments in Sacramento, California offer effective solutions and skin peels that can help with your hyperpigmentation, age spots and skin damage. In this blog, we will answer these questions: What is Hyperpigmentation? What Are The Causes of Hyperpigmentation? How You Can Reduce Hyperpigmentation? How Can Our Advanced Facial Treatments Help You? What is Hyperpigmentation? Skin cells produce melanin, a substance that gives skin its color. When skin cells become damaged, they may overproduce melanin. The excess melanin makes parts of the skin look darker. Hyperpigmentation can occur in one part of the body or across several parts of the body. It can appear as black, brown, red, pink, or gray patches. It can occur in people of any culture or ethnicity. The condition does not cause pain or itchiness, but it may be accompanied by dry, rough-textured skin. What are the Causes of Hyperpigmentation? While the root cause of hyperpigmentation is not always known, here are some common causes: Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy or puberty Excessive sun exposure Adrenal disorders in which the body does not make enough cortisol Medications that cause sensitivity to light Skin injuries such as cuts, burns, and acne Thyroid disorders Melasma Vitamin deficiencies Genetic conditions such as freckles How to Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation While hyperpigmentation can be difficult to treat, here are several treatments that are often effective. Peels Peels use chemicals to remove the top layer of the skin. Some peels go deeper and target the middle layer as well. Removing skin layers also gets rid of signs of damage and aging. It can reduce the look of hyperpigmentation, acne, wrinkles, and dull skin. Brighten, tighten and rejuvenate your skin with our Signature Chemical Peel!
