Finding the right esthetician facial treatment for your client’s skin can be a difficult process. Texture, hydration, scarring, and sun damage are just a few of the many variables that change from one person to the next. Fortunately, each skin problem can be solved with a specific remedy or combination of treatments. Continue reading to learn more about some of the most popular esthetician facial treatments.
At Brillare, we can show you how to finetune your aesthetic treatments for each and every client. No matter the condition of a patient’s skin, our aesthetic practices leave their skin feeling firm, lucious, and rejuvenated. Here are some of our methods.
Dermaplaning is an aesthetic treatment that is remarkably similar to shaving with a straight razor, except it focuses on removing dead skin cells rather than hair from the top layer of skin. In this aesthetic practice, a specialized scalpel is used to manually exfoliate the face and neck; dead skin cells slough off, resulting in brighter, smoother skin.
Dermaplaning also provides a number of other benefits, such as:
Like other esthetician facial treatments, dermaplaning can help alleviate the effects of certain skin conditions like sun damage, age spots, or acne scarring.
Microneedling is an esthetician facial treatment that uses small needles to prick the skin, which boosts collagen production. In this skin care treatment, the body’s natural healing response is harnessed to produce plump, smooth skin. The skin responds to the slight damage from the pinpricks by producing new, collagen-rich tissue. This makes your skin appear firmer. Because of its use of needles, microneedling is considered a minimally invasive procedure. This facial aesthetic treatment also provides a number of other benefits, such as:
Because it aids in the production of collagen, microneedling also has a number of anti-aging properties.
Chemical peels are another commonly used esthetician facial treatment. Although the name seems to imply a harsh treatment, chemical peels actually provide a number of benefits to the skin, like:
Chemical peels work by seeping into your skin and exfoliating it. This removes the outermost layer of skin as well as any blemishes on it. When the peel is removed, the skin beneath appears fresh, rejuvenated, and free of impurities.
Light therapy is a proven method for rejuvenating skin cell growth. This form of aesthetic medicine improves the skin’s ability to heal. When used in tandem with other esthetician facial treatments, it can have great effects, such as:
The main focus of LED light therapy is to promote healing throughout the various layers of the skin. Red light is most often used to address the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Like microneedling, it can boost the production of collagen in the skin.
On the other hand, blue light is used to penetrate deeper into the skin, where it targets the oil glands. Blue light reduces the amount of oil that the skin produces, which dries it out. This can be a helpful treatment for those who deal with acne or acne scarring.
Although each of these facial treatments provide many advantages on their own, most successful aesthetic practices combine various treatments to bring the best results for a client’s skin. For example, dermaplaning works especially well with chemical peels, since it allows aesthetic treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin. It also works in conjunction with microneedling to help a client with coarse skin that shows signs of aging or scarring.
Combining LED light therapy with microneedling can support the healing process and further stimulate collagen production. In fact, light therapy works well with almost any esthetician facial treatment because of its unique healing properties.
