Ask Cathy – September 2018

Dear Cathy,
What exactly is a clinical peel and reveal facial? I’ve seen advertising for them, but I am not sure what it is or what makes it different from a regular facial? – Michelle in Newhall
Dear Michelle,
Clinical facials, aka our peel and reveal, focus on results rather than relaxation; they give extra attention to serious skin problems and concentrate on deep exfoliation to renew the surface of the skin.  Typically, the skin renews itself every four to six weeks. However, as we age, our skin cell turnover rate slows down, which can result in dull lackluster skin, wrinkling, pigmentation problems, thin skin and even acne. With our clinical facial, physical (microdermabrasion) and chemical forms (glycolic) of exfoliation are utilized, which help the dead skin cells to exfoliate and renew at a quicker rate, resulting in more even skin tone, beautiful and brighter skin.
We customize the facial around your skins needs. Starting with a Deep Pore Cleansing, then a light Glycolic Peel to loosen the dead skin cells.  Next, we do a Microdermabrasion treatment, using our diamond tip wand to sweep away the dead skin cells.  We steam, do extractions, and apply a treatment mask, for more concentration on the  results of your skins needs! Finish with appropriate and a, moisturizer with sunscreen.  Not only will your skin look immediately brighter, tighter and plumper these clinical facials will also improve the long-term health of it too!
