In a world that moves faster than ever before, taking the time for self-care for many feels like an overindulgence. But self-care is integral to a person’s overall health. There are so many benefits to taking a moment to pamper the body, and facials are a perfect way to do that.
There are many different treatments that skincare specialists can incorporate in a facial. People looking to treat sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles, or even scarring can consider adding a specialized treatment like micro-needling or a filler.
Taking the time to get a regular facial will have long-term positive effects. The skin will look and feel more youthful and supple. Every 28 days the skin cells of the face renew. Having a facial once a month cares for these new cells and helps minimize everyday damage. Here are just a few reasons to think about before getting a facial.
Taking the time to relax and get a facial can work wonders on stress levels. Age isn’t the only thing that the skin on the face shows. Too much stress is often visible in fine lines, under-eye bags, and poor skin tone.
Even simple facial massage in a calming environment will produce visible results. The skin of the face is so delicate. Sun exposure and other factors over time all-cause visible damage. While some at-home creams can help, regular facials do so much more and can help those creams be more effective.
One great feature about a facial that includes micro-needling or a filler like poly-L-lactic acid is that the changes are gradual but noticeable. With micro-needling, the benefits happen as the skin heals. The tiny needles stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. Because this healing process takes time, people will see improvement over a period of weeks. Some people may need several sessions to get to their desired outcome.
The great part about the poly-L-lactic acid filler is that it breaks down naturally over time in the dermis. The positive changes appear natural. People lose the plumpness in their faces as they age, and the skin begins to sag. Poly-L-lactic acid returns that plumpness. It’s also safe because, over time, the skin breaks it down into carbon dioxide and water.
Regardless of the type of treatments incorporated, facials are confidence boosters. They are not only relaxing and stress-reducing, but they also reveal a better you.
