Is your facial appearance bugging you due to uneven, dry, or oily skin? Sun damage and aging can quickly ruin your complexion if you don’t take steps to protect, nurture, and rejuvenate your facial skin.

At SEV Laser, we provide customized facials tailored to your personalized skin needs. It’s just what you need for a younger, fresher, rejuvenated appearance. We know how to treat every skin type and tone and we can give your face a boost that will make you look and feel great.

Types of Facial Skin

There are three main types of facial skin, and each needs its own careful type of treatment.

Dry Skin

Dry skin gets ashy and flaky very easily. Lines and wrinkles show up easily and you’ll look older than you are. Fixing dry skin isn’t as simple as changing face creams. You might need a reset in the form of a customized facial designed for dry skin.

Oily Skin

Oily skin always looks a bit shiny and you’ll be more prone to pimples and acne outbreaks. Ironically, this can happen due to over-cleaning your face, triggering the production of more sebum from your hair follicles. A customized facial designed for oily skin can help.

Mixed Type Skin

Mixed type skin can be the most challenging to keep in shape. Your nose or chin might be oily while your forehead and cheeks are dry and flaky. We can create a customized facial that addresses each issue to make your skin look flawless.

Common Facial Skin Issues

There are a few skin issues that are common and can make people leery of getting a facial.

Acne

Chronic acne can make people embarrassed or afraid of getting med spa treatments due to fear of making the issue worse. At SEV, we customize each facial to prevent such an occurrence. Just don’t make an appointment when you’re in the middle of an outbreak.

Eczema

This is another skin condition that many people might think would preclude getting a facial. However, just like with acne, we’ll tailor your facial and you can feel safe about it as long as you don’t come in when your skin is already severely irritated.

Dermatitis

By now you know the drill. Dermatitis can make your skin break out in a rash or even hives. No worries, we’ll take into account your sensitivity when developing your customized facial. As long as your skin is clear when you come in, you should be fine.

Rosacea

Part of our process includes microdermabrasion, which can leave your face a little red for a few days. Rosacea makes your face red all the time, so ask a dermatologist before scheduling. They may approve a customized facial without the microdermabrasion part. 

Steps to a Glowing Face

Still wondering about customized facials? Here’s everything you need to know about the typical customization process here at SEV.

Consultation

First, you’ll have a private consultation with one of our estheticians, who will create your customized facial plan. The consultation has two parts:

Evaluating Your Skin Type

First we evaluate your skin type, and match appropriate products that will work best with your skin tone as well as how oily or dry your skin is. This helps us develop the best facial we possibly can just for you.

Identifying Problem Areas

Second, we look for any problem areas. We’ll ask you what your challenges are when it comes to facial skincare. Whether you have issues with ashiness, oiliness, or blackheads, we’ll use that information to further customize your facial.

Cleansing 

Once your facial has been designed, we’ll start with a cleansing procedure to prepare your skin.

Eliminating Debris

Gentle but effective cleansing products remove any debris from your skin, leaving it fresh and clean in preparation for your facial. This is an important step that should never be rushed. Our estheticians take their time, making sure every speck is removed.

Rehydrating your Skin

The next step is rehydration. We don’t want to start with the serious part of your facial with your skin vulnerable and exposed. We’ll moisturize your face carefully with the rehydration products we’ve already identified as appropriate for your skin. 

Microdermabrasion

Now you’re ready for the main event in most of our customized facials: microdermabrasion.

How It Works

Microdermabrasion strips away the extremely thin top layer of skin cells, prompting cellular turnover. This process uses microscopic particles to go over your face and “sand away” older skin that’s already looking aged and roughened.

Effects on Your Face

Your face may be a little red after microdermabrasion, but this should only last a few days. Your new skin will be radiant and fresh-looking, making you feel and appear younger. You’ll love the brand new you! 

Topical Applications

All that hydration we did earlier will have been affected by the microdermabrasion, so it’s time to moisturize and rejuvenate.

Customized Skincare

We customise your skincare protocol down to specific products as well as the order in which they’ll be used. Your esthetician will ask about allergies before selecting the right options to make your skin look bright and beautiful.

Moisturization

The main goal for this step is moisturization, to deeply hydrate newly exposed skin and reduce redness or irritation. You’ll get a full treatment of carefully selected oils and serums that fight aging and promote wellness and health.

LED Mask

The final step to your facial is a special LED mask that sends targeted light pulses to encourage facial rejuvenation.

Light Therapy

Light sent over specific wavelengths penetrates into the deeper layers of your skin. The light pulses don’t hurt, only take a short time to work, and activate your body’s natural mechanisms for rebuilding your skin.

Accelerated Healing

Thanks to the LED mask, any redness and irritation caused by your facial should heal rapidly. Light therapy can also trigger the activation of collagen production, which can make your face firmer and even fill in fine lines and tiny wrinkles from below.

Other Facial Services From SEV

Want to enhance your facial experience even more? Consider these complementary services from SEV:

Laser Hair Removal

If you have unwanted hair anywhere on your face, including your upper lip, brows, chin, neck, or cheeks, We can get rid of such hair with speed and efficiency using facial laser hair removal. You’ll have smoother, more attractive skin and can forget about waxing and shaving.

Botox 

Say goodbye to wrinkles that begin to form permanently due to all the times you laugh, smile, frown, or squint. Botox injections can “freeze” the tiny muscles that cause your skin to crease, while letting you maintain your natural range of expression.

Fillers

Cosmetic injections such as dermal fillers can take care of other wrinkles on your face that aren’t caused by your expressions. For example, lines between your nose and mouth are caused by aging as well as sun and environmental damage. Fillers can work on your lips, too.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses impossible fine needles to cause micro-injuries to your skin, kickstarting healing mode to freshen up your face fast. We have multiple microneedling options: Morpheus and Potenza, which also use radiofrequency (RF) energy, and SkinPen, which can be combined with platelet-rich plasma for further facial rejuvenation.

Face Tightening

We can lift and tighten your facial skin using thermal energy. The result is tighter, smoother, younger looking skin, improving your appearance. Forma is noninvasive and it only takes a few minutes per treatment.

Beyond Customized Facials

We believe in supporting you far beyond any treatment you receive at a SEV location. Your esthetician will also give you tips, resources, and product recommendations to help you maintain your new look for longer.

In most cases, the results for a facial that includes microdermabrasion lasts for a whole month. This can make it easy to schedule your future facials, making them part of your normal skincare routine.

Always remember you’ll need to be extra vigilant about sunscreen after facial procedures. Your skin can be vulnerable to sun damage even more than ever. Of course, you should be using some sort of SPF 30+ product anytime you’re in the sun anyway. 

If you’re ready for the best facial of your life, it’s time to take the leap. You can visit SEV Laser or contact us today so we can put together a customized facial of your very own. You won’t be able to stop talking about your amazing results!
