Customized Facials Offer the Best Results

Facials are affordable and relaxing skin care treatments with a myriad of benefits. Facials can reverse signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Facials can also minimize most types of hyperpigmentation including dark spots, sun spots and age spots. Additionally, facials can improve rough skin texture and acne scarring, as well as reduce acne breakouts and leave skin smooth and glowing.

But all facials are not the same – and every facial is not created equal! The best way to achieve a smooth, clear, glowing, youthful is by scheduling a customized facial that has been specially selected and formulated for your unique type of skin and specific skin care issues.

In this article, the skin care experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids discuss the different types of facials, and how they can be customized to deliver the best results.

Facials for Teens & Acne Prone Skin

Anyone who suffers from the embarrassment of acne breakouts will tell you that at-home acne treatments and over-the-counter drug store products simply aren’t enough to stop acne eruptions.  In fact, many attempts at self-treatment can make acne worse, instead of better.

But a specially formulated medical grade Acne Facial can stop acne in its tracks. Our acne facials exfoliate dead skin cells and remove pore-clogging dirt and debris. This “gunk” is removed from the pores using extraction or suction or both – so that bacteria can no longer grow within the pores.

Additionally, Acne Facials contain specially formulated antibacterial acne-fighting serums that penetrate deep into the pores, to heal existing blemishes and prevent the development of new pimples. Salicylic acid is often included in a customized acne facial, because it can penetrate the skin and dissolve the intercellular matter that holds skin cells together.

Anti-aging Facials

SpaMedica in Grand Rapids also offers the latest technologies in anti-aging facials and peels that can achieve many of the skin rejuvenating benefits of laser treatments or surgery – but without pain and with no downtime!

We offer a wide variety of state-of-the-art, anti-aging facials and peels – including Retinol and Glycolic Acid Facial Peels – that can reduce fine lines & wrinkles, improve your skin’s elasticity, and restore youthful glow and smoothness to skin.

Back Facials

The face is not the only area of the body where clogged pores, pimples, acne, scars, skin discoloration and other skin issues can occur. Many individuals – especially men – also experience these problems on their backs. But a customized back facial performed in our luxurious Grand Rapids MedSpa can take care of almost every skin issue on the back.

At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids we will customize a back facial designed to treat your unique type of skin. Back facials begin with a gentle steaming process to open pores and remove impurities, followed by exfoliation, a deep cleansing, and a painless extraction process. A back facial typically concludes with a therapeutic mask or serum to nourish the skin and kill bacteria – followed by a relaxing neck, back, and shoulder massage.

Men’s Facials

Men’s and women’s skin are very different – so they simply cannot be treated the same way. Due to male hormones such as testosterone a man’s top layer of skin (dermis) is much thicker than a woman’s skin. This means that stronger and more deeply penetrating facials are needed to achieve the best results on a man’s skin.

Additionally, different exfoliating techniques are required for men because the follicles contain coarse beard hair that make extraction and cleansing more complicated.

Customized men’s facials and peels are ideal for treating male acne, removing unsightly blackheads, smoothing rough or dry skin, and reducing enlarged pores. Specially formulated men’s facials can also reduce the appearance of lines & wrinkles, and minimize sun damage, freckles, and/or scars.

Facials for People of Color

The melanin that gives darker skin it’s color also creates a greater susceptibility to injury from skin treatments. Scarring, hyperpigmentation, blackheads, and skin sensitivity can occur if darker skin tones are not treated with the proper facial products.

Just as there are specialized hair care products that deliver better results for African Americans, there are also Facial procedures that are safer and more beneficial for African American men and women. For this reason, it is important for people of color to seek out a MedSpa such as SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, that understands the unique skin of black women and men.

Typical facial products like alpha-hydroxy acids, including glycolic and lactic acids, have been known to irritate the skin and cause an increase in pigmentation for people of color. But facials customized to contain salicylic and mandelic acids are good options for black men and women with oily or acne-prone skin, as these ingredients help reduce sebum production – without the irritation of alpha hydroxy acids.
