When most patients think about caring for their skin, they immediately jump to facial treatments, such as peels and microdermabrasion. It’s less common to see patients actively considering that the whole body is covered in skin. Sometimes, caring for the skin on the rest of the body can be just as vital as treating the skin of the face. Two body rejuvenation procedures available at Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery can help you care for the skin on the rest of your body: a Nurturing Back Facial and a Body Peel.
The Benefits of the Nurturing Back Facial
A back facial offers each patient a wonderful opportunity for rest and relaxation, as the clinician cleanses the hardest place for you to reach on your body. During a back facial, the back is cleansed of impurities, hydrated, and refreshed. The treatment is very similar to a traditional facial. First, the back will be thoroughly cleansed and exfoliated. Next, impurities are removed from the pores and from beneath the surface of the skin. Following the extraction, the area will be moisturized and hydrated to help replenish the skin’s nutrients. This skincare treatment also includes a ten-minute back massage and a ten-minute arm massage.
Aside from being a great way to de-stress, the nurturing back facial can offer many other benefits. If you suffer from back acne, you might be frustrated by the many products available to treat the face but not designed for this hard-to-reach area. Most people suffering from acne on the back aren’t sure how to treat it. Just as a facial can clear pores and reduce the effects of acne on the face, a back facial can help clear up this area. Nurturing back facial could be especially helpful a day or two before a special event where you’re wearing a back-revealing dress or perhaps at the beginning of bathing suit season. With a nurturing back facial, your treatment results in a nice chance to relax and a blemish-free back.
The Benefits of Body Peels
You’ve probably heard about the benefits of chemical facial peels already. Yet, most people don’t realize that the same approach can be used to treat the skin of the back. A body chemical peel does work in much the same way, by applying chemicals designed to refresh the skin. A body peel can help eliminate skin concerns including loose skin, the buildup of dead skin cells, and even stretch marks. The solution used for a peel includes alpha hydroxyl acid and trichloracetic acid, which will remove dead skin cells when applied to the surface layer. Different types of peels can be customized to treat specific concerns, so each patient’s body peel can be different from the next. Your physician or clinician will determine which level of peel you require, from light to intensive.
At Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery, body peels have been proven effective against many specific concerns. If you have sun damage, uneven or dull skin tone, rough or flaky skin, you may benefit from a body peel. These chemical peels can be applied to the back, as well as other areas of the body, like hands, feet, chest, arms, and legs. Treat the areas that are of most concern to you with a body peel customized to suit your needs.
Why Bother to Care for the Body?
If most of the time you’ve spent caring for yourself has been concentrated on the face, it might be time to consider the rest of your body’s needs. Caring for the skin on the rest of your body is essential to maintaining an overall youthful appearance. The back, in particular, is an area that can be challenging to care for at home. Consider trying a new approach to your spa visits by adding a back treatment to your usual routine. These relaxing, refreshing treatments offer patients real benefits and a difference you can see.
