Introduction to Facials

A facial can make all the difference between a healthy, radiant complexion and dull, lifeless-looking skin. Facials have been in use for decades, but thanks to numerous advancements, they can be customized to target certain skin issues. Whether you struggle with sun-damaged skin, acne, or redness, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Mark M. Hamilton, M.D., F.A.C.S., of Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery, located in Carmel and Greenwood, possesses the knowledge and tools necessary for helping patients in and around Indianapolis achieve healthier skin. If you are interested in getting a facial, please read below for more information.

What is a Facial?

A facial is a skin treatment on the face that is an ideal way to improve your skin. The right facial treatment cannot only clean and moisturize your skin but also resolve issues and give it a healthy glow. Facials can include a variety of treatments, such as extractions, massage, steam, chemical peels, exfoliation, and the application of lotions, creams, and masks.

What Are the Benefits of a Facial?

Besides being a pleasant and relaxing experience, facials can also help you achieve the healthiest skin possible. These treatments can have benefits, such as:

  • Helping you relax and reduce stress.
  • Improving blood flow to the skin helps enhance the regeneration of skin cells.
  • Detoxify the skin.
  • Make fine lines and wrinkles appear smoother.
  • Stimulate the production of new collagen, which helps prevent sagging, wrinkles, and lines.
  • Even out your complexion and lighten areas of hyperpigmentation.
  • Slow skin aging by helping it look and feel healthier.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Facial?

As people age, the elasticity in their skin and muscles naturally diminishes, resulting in many common problems. If aging has not been kind to your skin, you might need more than just normal skin care to regain a younger appearance. If this sounds like you, you’re an ideal candidate for a facial. Ideal candidates for a facial in Indianapolis will have some of the following characteristics:

  • Blackheads
  • Clogged pores
  • Dead skin
  • Dry skin
  • No underlying medical conditions
  • Sun damage
  • Sunspots
  • Whiteheads
  • Wrinkles

Facials First Step

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting a facial in Indianapolis is to schedule an initial consultation with an aesthetician at Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery. The aesthetician will need to assess your normal skin condition to make the most accurate treatment recommendations.

To get the optimal effects from your facial, there are several things you should avoid before your appointment. Do not use skin exfoliants for at least four days prior. You should also avoid peels, retinol products, or scrubs. If you experience any skin irritation, it’s recommended that you reschedule your facial. Furthermore, it is advisable to maintain your regular skincare routine. There’s no need to do anything to improve your skin’s appearance.

What to Expect on the Day of a Facial Treatment

On the day of your facial treatment in Indianapolis, your aesthetician at Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery will welcome you to the facility and get you settled in the treatment room. The exact treatment will depend on the type of facial you are getting. Regardless of what condition your skin is in, there is a facial that’s right for you. Whether it’s hyperpigmentation or acne, there is something to help you look and feel your best again. Here are the types of facials we offer:

Types of
Facials

  • BBL™ Facial

    BBL™ therapy is the new generation of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. This FDA-cleared laser treatment treats hyperpigmentation, vascular lesions, freckles, age spots, and uneven skin texture by gently heating the upper layers of the skin. The heat stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and increases the cell turnover rate, resulting in younger-looking skin that’s firmer and more even. BBL™ treatments are usually completed within an hour, with visible results showing in just one to two weeks.

  • The AquaGold® Fine Touch™ Facial

    The AquaGold Fine Touch Facial is a microneedling facial treatment that utilizes 24K gold-plated, hair-like needles. This treatment helps shrink large pores, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduces redness, and plumps the skin.

    The AquaGold FineTouch Facial is the only microneedling system that can deliver dermal fillers and Botox directly into your skin to smooth your pores. While it is typically used on the face, this technique can also be applied to areas of the upper chest and neck to help reduce redness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

    During the procedure, the aesthetician presses the gold-plated microneedles into the face, creating microchannels. These microchannels help your skin absorb the products. Because the hair-like needles are so thin, the procedure is virtually painless.

    The number of treatments needed to achieve your desired result depends on the condition of your skin; however, many patients see improvements after just one treatment. Dr. Hamilton may recommend additional treatments, depending on the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles on your skin.

  • What is DiamondGlow?

    DiamondGlow™ is a non-invasive skin resurfacing device that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums. DiamondGlow™ is a customizable treatment that combines mechanical dermabrasion with medical-grade serums to exfoliate and extract dead skin cells and debris from the face and neck. DiamondGlow™ simultaneously infuses a customized blend of serums to hydrate and treat the skin, leaving your skin firmer and more radiant after treatment. There are five different serums available, and your aesthetician will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific skincare needs and goals.

    The SkinMedica® serums that can be infused during your treatment include Skin Brightening, Ultra Hydrating, Vitamin C, and Pore Clarifying. The Skin Brightening serum uses a patented peptide, Lumixyl®, that brightens the skin and evens out pigmentation. The Ultra Hydrating Serum infuses hyaluronic acid, which helps to hydrate the skin, smooth, and plump its surface. The Vitamin C serum is an antioxidant serum that rejuvenates and protects the skin from UV rays and pollutants. The Pore Clarifying Serum is ideal for acne-prone skin, addressing skin imperfections and leading to clearer, healthier-looking skin. There is also the signature TNS serum, which targets wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin while enhancing the tone and texture of the skin surface.

  • HydraFacial®

    The HydraFacial employs a patented series of steps to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate, resulting in skin that is more radiant than ever. This facial improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    This 30-minute facial takes four simple steps – cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate – to the next level, clearing your pores and brightening your complexion. While typically used for the face, this facial can also be applied to the neck, upper chest, hands, arms, and back.

    The HydraFacial also offers the option to add boosts, allowing you to create a customized facial experience tailored to your most significant skin concerns. Dr. Hamilton may recommend adding certain boosts to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, even out skin tone, or improve skin texture.

    Patients experience a noticeable difference in their skin after just one HydraFacial®, but regular maintenance visits are recommended to maintain a bright and radiant appearance.

Recovery

Facials do not have a recovery downtime. However, clients should try to stay out of the sun for a day. Clients may also experience slight bruising in the areas where blackheads were removed, but this should resolve within a day.
