As you age, your skin struggles to keep up with self-healing resulting in scars, dullness, rough textures, and blemishes. A facial by Virginia Hardie, MD, at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness in Las Vegas, Nevada, can reduce some of your skin’s most prominent irregularities. To learn more about facials and how they work, call Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness or schedule an appointment online today.
What are my options for facials?
Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness offers customizable facials to brighten and soften your skin. During your consultation, Dr. Hardie tells you about the benefits of each facial option and helps you decide on a treatment. You can get:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial
A PRP facial is a rejuvenating facial that uses healing platelets and growth factors from your own blood. These components support natural healing and skin restoration; since they’re from your body, they won’t cause a negative reaction. Dr. Hardie microneedles PRP into your skin.
Biologic facial
A biologic facial also involves a microneedling procedure. It delivers placental-derived growth factors into your tissues for healing and tightening.
What are the benefits of getting facials?
PRP facials and biologic facials offer similar benefits to enhance your skin’s texture and appearance. Every facial at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness makes your skin glow after its brief healing period. These facials can heal and minimize:
- Acne scars
- Other scars
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage
- Large pores
- Dullness
Microneedling, which is part of both facials at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness, helps your skin produce more collagen. Collagen is a structural protein that keeps your skin firm, but it declines as you age.
How should I take care of my skin after a facial?
Aftercare following a facial is important to maintain your skin’s luster and avoid unnecessary irritation. At Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness, Dr. Hardie advises you to care for your skin to prolong the facial’s benefits.
Your skin is a little more sensitive than usual after a facial. You can care for it by:
- Applying and reapplying sunscreen every day
- Using a serum with vitamin C
- Using gentle moisturizers and cleansers
- Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated
You should also avoid touching your face, peeling or picking your skin, and using toners and other harsher products as your skin recovers from a facial. If you normally wax or thread your eyebrows or other facial hair, be sure to wait to do so until your skin heals.
