What to Expect During Your Facial Treatment in Singapore

Are you new to facials? Or perhaps you have been wondering what happens during a facial session that makes it such a hyped lifestyle habit amongst many in Singapore and beyond? In general, a facial is a type of skin treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin. Some facial treatments even claim to be able to remove blemishes, combat wrinkles, tighten the skin and more.

In other words, facial treatments are an excellent way to give your skin a radiant boost and maintain its health. But is there all there is to the concept of facials? And what exactly goes on during a facial treatment session that aids in achieving picture-perfect skin?

What Are the Benefits of Getting Facial Treatments Regularly?

It is a given that every person is unique — but so is our skin. And while at first glance, facial treatments might seem like an impractical luxury to some, their ability to bring a burst of vitality to exhausted skin and restore it to its former glory for the long term cannot be overlooked. Moreover, unlike following a daily skin routine at home, leaving your skin to the professionals brings a whole new stream of benefits. Why? Because the best skin solutions centre will be able to develop a specially tailored facial treatment plan that complements your skin, lifestyle and needs.

Some of the other unmatched benefits your skin will be able to reap depends on the type of facial treatment you book an appointment for. For example, at New York Skin Solutions, we offer a range of facial treatments for both men and women that cater to specific skin types and concerns, such as ageing, dark eye circles, pigmentation and acne. Yearning for smoother, younger-looking skin? Then, regularly going for facial treatments like our D’tox Solution Treatment will work their magic to effectively detox, decongest, and purify your pores, promoting clarity and renewal for a visibly clearer and healthier complexion. Leveraging ingredients like Gluconolactone (PHA), Salicylic Acid, and Papain that work synergistically in our D’tox Skincell Booster, attaining revitalised and rejuvenated skin is made possible through its gentle exfoliating, moisturising, and sebum-balancing properties.

What to Expect from a Facial Treatment?

If you’re new to facials or searching for the best ones to add to your monthly self-care routine, you may be wondering what to expect during a facial treatment. Truth be told, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the specific steps involved in a facial treatment can vary depending on the type of treatment you choose.

When it comes to us at New York Skin Solutions, our consultants will examine your skin and recommend a customised treatment that suits your skin type and concerns. This is all done in hopes of bringing you the best skin care treatment so that you can achieve your ideal type of skin perfection. However, a facial treatment typically involves the same few steps. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect at New York Skin Solutions:

What to Expect at a Facial Consultation?

Before your facial session, your consultant will conduct a detailed skin analysis. This is done to examine your skin condition and recommend a personalised treatment with our skin experts that suits your skin type and concerns. They may ask about your skincare routine, any concerns you have about your skin, and what you hope to achieve with the treatment during this step.

What is Done During a Facial Treatment?

In order to best remove all the impurities and support your skin’s moisture barrier, and simply do all that it takes to make your skin glow and look refreshed, several steps will be taken. As mentioned, the entire facial process is highly dependent on the type of treatment you are getting. However, some basic steps include double cleansing, masking, and massaging.

Double cleansing ensures that all the oil and dirt on your skin’s surface is removed, which prepares your skin for the rest of the treatment. Masking is specific to your treatment and may act as a gentle exfoliant or soften the pores for extraction. Finally, a facial massage is an essential step that targets pressure points on your face. Did you know that these pressure points are connected to various systems in your body? Massaging them during your facial treatment can work wonders in keeping your skin glowing. And, of course, at the end of your session, we’ll conduct a post-treatment review so that you can review your results and any necessary aftercare.

How Do You Prepare for a Facial Treatment?

To see an instant glow and brighter skin after a facial, it’s important to put a halt to using chemical exfoliants and potential irritants like retinol and salicylic acid a week before the session. This is because most facials will include serums or exfoliating masks, and you would not want your skin to be over-exfoliated or too sensitive to handle these products. It’s also helpful to scale back your routine to give your consultant a better sense of your skin’s natural state, which will help them better understand your skin’s needs.

On the day of your facial, you might be surprised to hear that you don’t need to cleanse beforehand. Whether you’re wearing makeup or sunscreen, your facialists will take the necessary steps to prepare your skin.

What to Do After Having Facial Treatment?

After a facial, the effects usually last for a few days, and to maximise the benefits, it is recommended to keep your skin hydrated and protected with the right products, exfoliate weekly, and follow your consultant’s advice on a home care routine customised for your skin type, concerns and goals. Although there aren’t hard and fast rules about facial frequency, be sure to book your next facial appointment between four to six weeks apart or quarterly for maintenance and to maintain your skin’s health.
