Freshen Up with a Facial

Has your facial complexion hit a plateau?  Does it seem like the only time your skin looks “alive” is when you have a breakout or flare-up?  Perhaps your skin needs relief from your everyday skin care routine.  Facial skin rejuvenation is a convenient, cost-effective approach to treating skin with little to no down time.  Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group offers several facial procedures such as the European facial, Custom facial and Teen facial.  Schedule your appointment today with one of our licensed estheticians!

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, facial rejuvenation can effectively reduce wrinkles, treat sun spots, tighten loose skin, improve skin tone and color, remove blotchiness, and eliminate damaged blood vessels.  

Before the procedure begins, the esthetician assesses the skin and lifestyle factors such as age, health, and amount of sun damage.  Facial treatments may vary to address common skin conditions; however, they can be customized to meet your unique skin needs. To get the most out of the procedure, ask questions about ingredients and techniques.  The dialogue between you and your skin care specialist may change your normal skin routine for the better.

A basic facial treatment involves cleaning the face, extracting blackheads and whiteheads, and treating blemishes.  Typically the treatment includes a facial massage, exfoliation, skin-tightening mask and antioxidants.  Furthermore, the facial massage and exfoliation not only remove dead skin cells, but increase blood flow circulation- vital for cell renewal and anti-aging.  At the very least, a facial treatment cleans impurities found on the skin, hydrates and soothes the skin to enhance the absorption of product ingredients.

If you have problematic skin, it may take a series of facial treatments to get skin to “maintenance mode.”  At that point, a facial may only be needed every four to six weeks.  Call today to discover which facial is right for you.  Don’t forget this month you can “Create Your Own Spa Package”; call our office for more details.  Knoxville 865.342.5823 or Sevierville 865.868.4683.
