Refresh and Revitalize Your Skin with Aesthetic Treatments in St. Louis

 

Facials at St. Louis’ West County Plastic Surgeons are skin treatments that have major benefits, such as cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating. The West County Plastic Surgeons Spa offers a host of options for facials offered by licensed, experienced aestheticians in the setting of a cosmetic plastic surgery practice. We offer numerous invigorating options to help you restore healthy, hydrated, and radiant skin. Your treatment should be chosen carefully based on your personal skin type and concerns.

What Are Facials?

What are facials good for? Is it really necessary to get them? These are some of the common questions we are asked by patients. A good daily skincare routine can help you maintain healthy skin with a youthful appearance. There are also plenty of different types of skin treatments for the face to choose from. Specifically, facials are non-invasive skin treatments that may include steam, facial masks, exfoliation, extractions, moisturizing, deep cleansing, massage, and creams or lotions. The elements included can be customized based on a patient’s specific skin type and needs. They allow us to address your skin concerns, promote the overall health of your skin, and help you relax.

What Are the Benefits?

Having a facial can be a rewarding experience that addresses many types of problems affecting the skin. These skin treatments can also be a great way to make your skin feel refreshed and rejuvenated. They can provide results that go far beyond what you could achieve with your at- home skin routine. You will be left with deeply cleansed, healthier, and nourished skin. Nothing you do at home can replace having a professional look over your skin to address both short-term and long-term concerns. Everything from blocked pores to hyperpigmentation can be addressed during these sessions. Exfoliation can shrink the size of your pores, reduce the oil production in the skin, minimize hyperpigmentation or dark spots on the skin, and help to balance your skin’s pH. Moreover, these types of skin treatments improve blood circulation, which is important for promoting skin cell regrowth and collagen production.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Most people will be considered good candidates for these skin treatments. However, certain treatments are not right for everyone. Tell us if you have any allergies or skin conditions prior to your treatment to reduce the risk of allergic reactions or other complications. It’s also important to have realistic expectations for the treatment you choose and have a clear idea of the types of results you can expect.

HydraFacial is ideal for individuals who have fine lines, minor skin discolorations or imperfections, or those who are seeking ways to rejuvenate their skin. It can be safely used on all skin types, even the most sensitive skin. However, this treatment is not recommended for more severe skin issues such as scarring or heavy wrinkling.

Are There Different Options?

The type of treatment that is best for you will depend on your skin type and skin issues. Since there are so many different skincare options available, choosing the right one for you could seem overwhelming. We can guide you through the decision process and help you achieve a naturally beautiful look!

What Will the Recovery Be Like?

There is little to no recovery after any of these types of treatments. Recovery is generally fast and complication-free. Sometimes patients experience some minor redness or tightness for a few hours. These side effects are completely normal and should resolve quickly. The appearance of your skin can be greatly improved after these skin treatments.

How Often Should You Have These Skin Treatments?

How frequently you should get these treatments will depend on the type of skin issues you are hoping to treat. For some patients, it’s recommended that they have them every four to six weeks. A consistent routine will help you to maximize results, especially if there’s a specific type of skin concern you are hoping to address. After your unique skin concerns have been managed, we can re-evaluate the frequency at which you will need these treatments. Taking good care of your skin in between treatment sessions will help you to prolong the results. We will provide skincare guidelines for after your treatment. There is a lot you can do after the session to preserve hydrating and glow-inducing results. Avoid picking at your skin as this can cause bacteria to get into your pores, resulting in breakouts. Although sun exposure isn’t completely avoidable, try to stay out of direct sunlight and avoid unprotected sun exposure. Be sure to re- apply SPF throughout the day after you have had a treatment and each day after that.

Are There Other Cosmetic Treatments That Can Rejuvenate Your Appearance?

West County Plastic Surgery offers a complete range of minimally invasive anti-aging and skincare solutions including injectables, lasers and lights, non-surgical procedures, and other spa services. Injectables such as BOTOX^® and Xeomin^® reduce dynamic wrinkles associated with movements of the face while hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm^® address deep static wrinkles on the mid-face or lower face by adding fullness when injected or can add plumpness to the lips. There are various treatments to rejuvenate the skin such as microneedling, microdermabrasion, and pore extractions.

Microneedling stimulates the healing processes of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to improve the texture and quality of the skin. Dermaplaning involves shaving away the outer, damaged layer of skin on the surface to reduce the appearance of imperfections and reveal newer, undamaged skin. Microdermabrasion also involves removing the outer, thicker and uneven or damaged skin layer to renew the overall skin tone and texture.
