Start the Year with a Facial Skin Treatment for a Fresh Look
The New Year provides time for assessment and reflection. What happened in your life last year, and what goals did you achieve?
While each new year gives you more chances for personal growth and success, it’s also true that every added year can contribute to visible signs of aging. For younger people, facial skin treatments can clear and refresh facial skin. You’re never too young to start paying more attention to skin care!
At Apex Dermatology, our experienced team of aesthetic and skin care professionals are ready to refresh your appearance with non-invasive facial skin treatments at our Westlake Village, California, office. Here are some of your options for facials with Apex Dermatology!
Refreshing your complexion
Your face is often the first part of yourself that you show to the outside world, so it makes sense to ensure that your facial skin looks its best. Your face also takes a lot of daily wear-and-tear, exposed to wintery weather and sun damage, or from contact with oily fingers or cosmetic products, so facial treatments are an aesthetic must.
With gentle, non-invasive facial treatments, you can exfoliate away last year’s skin damage, exposing new, clear layers of refreshed facial skin. Blemishes like acne, black spots, sun damage, and poor skin tone can be alleviated or even erased entirely with the right facial skin treatment.
Picking the right facial skin treatment for you
Everyone’s face is different, and everyone has different skin care needs. The team at Apex Dermatology can help you select the right type of facial treatment to have you looking your best.
You can choose from facial skin treatments, including:
- Hydrafacial- a specialized cleansing and exfoliating treatment to bring on the brightness and clean out the pores at the same time. Boosters add special qualities and custom results.
- Hydration- emphasizing your skin’s needs for sufficient moisture, addressing dryness and crepe-like texture with a variety of serums to exfoliate and hydrate your facial skin.
- Hydrating mask- a more intensive facial for skin damaged by dryness and exposure to the weather.
- Detoxifying mask- removing impurities from your skin pores to clear up blemishes.
- Soothing/anti-redness- a facial treatment designed to correct uneven skin tone by strengthening your dermal capillaries.
- Acne/back-ne treatments that use deep cleansing, steaming, extractions, and facial masks to treat pimples and other acne-related skin imperfections.
- Dermaplaning to remove fine unwanted hairs and professional exfoliate dead skin cells.
- Blue light or red light to help skin affected by acne to reduce inflammation and harmful bacteria.
- Men’s facials customized for the stresses and mess of your daily life to keep your skin clean and youthful-looking.
- Teen facials that provide an introduction for adolescents on skin care management with cleansing, steaming, exfoliation, extractions as needed, and a final therapeutic mask.
- Facials can even be combined with or alternate with chemical peels to target your skin health needs.
