Facials at West End Plastic Surgery

Our team of experienced aestheticians tailors each treatment to your skin type, concerns, and goals, instead of using the same routine for everyone.

What Is a Professional Facial?

A professional facial is a personalized skincare treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates, and cares for your skin based on what it needs during your visit. Depending on your skin, your session might also include extractions, special serums, or other treatments for specific concerns. At West End Plastic Surgery, your aesthetician will check your skin first and adjust the treatment to fit you.

What do I need to know before Facials Help Address?

Facials are helpful for regular skincare and for issues like tired, dull, dry, or congested skin. Depending on the treatment you choose, a customized facial can help with:

  • Dry or dehydrated skin
  • Dull or uneven-looking complexion
  • Rough skin texture
  • Clogged or congested pores
  • Excess oil and mild breakouts
  • Surface buildup and dead skin cells
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Skin that needs added hydration and nourishment

If you have deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, noticeable discoloration, or other concerns that need more intensive care, your aesthetician might suggest looking into other treatment options.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facial?

Facials work well for most people who want to care for their skin, keep a healthy complexion, or deal with dryness, dullness, rough texture, or congestion. Since every treatment is personalized, your aesthetician can adjust the session for sensitivity, acne, your current products, and other needs.

Let your aesthetician know about any allergies, medications, prescription skincare, recent procedures, or changes in your skin before your treatment. This helps them choose what to include or avoid in your facial.

Facial  Recovery and Downtime

Most facials have little or no downtime, but your skin might look a bit pink or feel sensitive for a short time after exfoliation or extractions. How your skin recovers depends on your skin and the treatments you get. Your aesthetician will explain what to expect before you go.

Facial Aftercare

After your facial, follow the aftercare instructions your aesthetician gives you. Use gentle skincare, keep your skin hydrated, and wear sunscreen every day to help your results last.

Don’t pick at your skin after extractions, and ask your aesthetician when you can start using exfoliants, retinoids, acids, or other active products again.

Facial Results

Many people find their skin feels smoother, softer, and more hydrated soon after a facial. As any redness fades, you may notice a healthy glow. Results depend on your skin, the treatments you receive, and your specific concerns.

Facials can be part of your regular skincare routine. Getting professional treatments regularly, along with good home care, can help keep your skin clearer, smoother, and healthier over time.

What do I need to know before my first facial?

Before your first facial appointment, it's essential to communicate your skin concerns, allergies, and any medications you're currently taking to your aesthetician.

This information helps us customize your facial experience to address your specific needs and ensure the best possible results.

Please avoid excessive sun exposure, exfoliators or active products ie. glycolic, salicylic, retinal 3 days prior to your treatment. Arriving with clean skin, free from makeup and impurities, allows our aestheticians to focus on nourishing and revitalizing your skin effectively.
