what is a facial?
A home skin care routine with good products is important to keep a healthy complexion, but occasionally, you may want better results with a professional facial. Customized for the needs and concerns of your skin, our doctors suggest regular, professional Geneo™ facials for Boston, MA patients to keep their skin clear and healthy. After a thorough consultation to determine both visible and hidden damage, we use the best medical-grade products and facial techniques to help rejuvenate your complexion. If you really want to pamper your skin, customize your results by adding another treatment, such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or an injectable filler. Make an appointment to get a custom, professional facial at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to elevate the beauty and health of your skin.
how is a facial performed?
Following your consultation and after assessing your skin's condition, patients will lie on a comfortable treatment chair. Your facial treatment is customized, but most facials begin with a deep cleansing of the skin. This will help us eliminate any dirt, oil, makeup, and lotions. After that, steam is often used to open clogged pores so we can easily extract whiteheads and blackheads. Usually, this is followed by exfoliation, either performed manually or with an added treatment (microdermabrasion or chemical peel). A serum or mask is massaged in to deeply nourish your skin. To end the treatment, we apply an SPF moisturizer to protect the skin from UV damage following the facial.
what kinds of facials are there?
30 Minute Facial
Our 30 Minute Facial is perfect for anyone who needs a quick touch-up. Based on what your skin requires, 2-3 facial treatments can be performed to restore a radiant glow.
The DeRosa Center Illuminating Treatment-30 minutes
If you need to “Glow and Go”, this treatment is individually based on what the skin requires. Your skin is treated thoroughly but gently leaving it with a renewed clarity and glowing appearance.
60 Minute Facial
Our 60-minute custom facial starts with a gentle but thorough cleansing of the skin to remove all makeup and prep the skin for treatment. The skin is analyzed to determine the correct treatment. Manual extractions are performed to remove pore-clogging debris and oils. Next, the skin is disinfected to kill bacteria and improve blood circulation. At this time the skin is ready for derma planing, which is a gentle form of exfoliation using a small tool to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as "peach fuzz". Based on the skin type and the needs of the skin, additional treatment options are performed, which may include a superficial chemical peel, ultrasonic microdermabrasion, collagen mask, LED light therapy, and lymphatic drainage. The facial is completed with a toner, serum, moisturizer, and of course sunscreen.
60 Minute Concentrated Cell and Peptide Facial
Our Concentrated Cell & Peptide facial incorporates the use of viable cells, peptides, and amino acids to help increase one's own collagen and elastin. Microencapsulated, these ingredients remain active and provide better absorption to smooth, repair and restore the skin. The Concentrated Cell and Peptide facial treatment starts with a gentle polishing gelee to dislodge makeup and oils. A dual-action exfoliator stimulates and preps the skin for the treatment. Manual extractions may be performed and then skin is disinfected. Dermaplaning or microdermabrasion is then performed, and then a chemical exfoliant is used to brighten the skin, followed by lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and eliminate toxins. Several layers of harvested cells and peptides are penetrated into the skin with an ultrasonic device. A light massage helps boost hydration, followed by a hydrating and brightening mask combined with LED light therapy to calm, soothe, and rebalance the skin. Once the mask is removed, the serum from the mask is massaged into the skin to further nourish the skin. To seal all this goodness into the skin, a moisturizer and sunscreen are applied.
