PamperMe™ Facial
What is it?
A PamperMe™ facial is a facial unlike any other. If you love to be pampered and get rid of your dead skin cells to reveal your newer skin underneath, this is the perfect facial for you. It is a microdermabrasion facial with extra pampering. We cannot divulge all of our secrets, just know that you will be leaving feeling like a new you, refreshed and cared for.
How does microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation process that gently removes the outer layer of your skin, where the dull, dead skin cells reside. The treatment uses tiny crystals that break up these cells to reveal the smoother, softer skin underneath. The crystals are gently worked into your skin by a handheld device. You can remove dead skin from your face and neck without damaging the fresh, healthy skin below.
Am I a good candidate?
You are, especially if you are craving some pampering and beautiful glowing skin! The ways in which you are NOT a good candidate are if you have any of these conditions: moderate to severe inflammatory acne; have rosacea; are in the midst of a cold sore breakout; have a rash or wound or other skin irritation; or if you’re using high concentrations of salicylic or glycolic acid or vitamin A serum (RetinA).
How to prepare (pre-treatment)
No preparation required except removal of any make-up before you come to your appointment.
What does it feel like?
The pampering part feels like heaven, pure heaven. The microdermabrasion process has been described as a cat licking your face sensation. No discomfort , and it’s very well tolerated.
What to expect afterwards and aftercare
After your treatment, your skin will look brighter, feel tighter, and appear more youthful. You may have a tinge of pinkness to your skin, this is perfectly normal, that will subside within an hour to a few hours. Protective sunscreen is advised, a minimum SPF 30 or higher, as microdermabrasion can make you more sensitive to the sun in the days after treatment.
How many sessions are required?
Our skin goes through a growth cycle every 28 days if you are under 35 and 45 days if you are over 35 (give or take). It is recommended to have a microdermabrasion every growth cycle, so monthly to a month and a half (depending on your age) to always have your newer, more youthful skin showing and glowing. And pampering monthly is a beautiful gift you can give to your skin and soul.
Possible side effects of microdermabrasion
Increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight is normal. Rare side effects can include skin swelling, skin redness, bruising, or a burning or stinging sensation.
