Expert Advice | Why Should I Have a Facial?

Have you ever wondered why people make so much fuss about having a facial? What is it actually doing for your skin? It’s a common question, because the benefits of facials are both visible and invisible.

Most of our clients have facials because they are worried about the appearance of their skin. The most common issues that our customers come to us concerned about include:

• Dull and tired looking skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Clogged pores
• Spots or acne
• Redness or uneven texture

Of course, we all get even more concerned about the appearance of our skin when there is a big event or special date coming up, or an important day at work.

Our clients come in to get treatments to help them with these issues because of the unique and effective treatment they receive.

How does a facial help? 

A good clinician will take time to understand the particular issue that you need help with, and use the latest technology to treat your skin.

One of the major invisible benefits, and the main reason why people enjoy facial treatments, is the feel-good factor. The gentle actions, calming environment and soothing products not only help your skin and feel pleasant, but relax the busy mind and tense body, and stimulate the happiness hormone in the brain.

Another great reason to have a facial is the skin advice and guidance you are given. At The Skin Investment Clinic we are happy to share our knowledge and help you to discover products that work for you. Where possible, we will give you a free sample of products that we recommend so you can try them out for yourself before you buy. We have a no-pressure sales policy, which keeps your facial a relaxing, stress-free experience.

So the reasons why people have facials are many. We at The Skin Investment Clinic aim to make sure that you receive the best possible results from your facial. Our goal is to help you feel better about what nature has given you by improving your skincare.

How can we help? 

At The Skin Investment Clinic, we use the latest technology and scientific insights to help you with your skin concerns.  We will recommend treatments tailored to your specific needs. For example, if you have acne and wish to have clearer skin then an Oxygen Blast Facial is perfect for you. You can either come in for a 30 minute intensive session, or the 60 minute full version which includes a special application of vitamin and antioxidant infusions.

You will get a professional skin assessment and your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, polished and remineralised. You will receive a nourishing and soothing massage to improve your skin’s internal circulation and enhance the oxygenation process. Your spots, pimples and blemishes will be calmed and treated to destroy bacteria.

Depending on your skin’s needs on the day, you could get an additional mechanical exfoliation, a cleansing skin vacuuming, a gentle acid peel or an intensely stimulating and cooling blast of oxygen.

Whatever skin issues you’re worried about, our friendly, expert team will find the solution to suit you. We look forward to welcoming you and explaining more about what our treatments can do.
