Are Facials Safe for Our Skin?

For patients in my practice, facials can be done gently to help rejuvenize, remove debris and freshen the skin. But facials or chemical peels should be done in the hands of experienced providers. More recently we have brought Hydrafacial into our practice to further enhance the facial experience to the next level. This device cleanses, exfoliates, has the potential to do different levels of chemical peels and then removes debris from your pores using a light suction device. This will rejuvenate your skin and decrease pore size. At the end of the procedure, special boosters can also be done in physicians offices for the next generation of advanced skin care. 

Our office uses customized facials to address skin clarity.  For dark skin, we have developed light facials alongside chemical peels to address skin concerns. Dr. Karamanoukian

Yes, facials are safe for every kind of skin because they help you clean, exfoliate, and especially hydrate and plump your skin. To have better results, you should get a facial once a month. Usually, they are complemented with dermabrasion, chemical peels, LED light therapy, among others. However, you need to remember that every facial is different and will be choose based on your skin type and concerns; that's why it is essential to go to an expert medical aesthetician or dermatologist that can help you and assist you, using quality products and safe treatments.
