Clarifying Detox Facial
This facial is ideal for those with clogged pores, excess oil production, and acne-prone skin. A double cleanse, followed by an exfoliating scrub is performed in order to loosen up debris and remove dead skin cells. Your skin will be evaluated closely to determine any underlying causes for skin concerns. Extractions and any blackhead removal will be done gently and efficiently. A pore detoxifying mask will be applied at the end of the treatment, followed by customized skincare products.
Teen Facial
This facial is perfect to introduce a simple skin regimen for teens. A skin evaluation will be performed and education on how to maintain healthy skin will be provided. The facial treatment will be tailored to the individual needs, including cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, and a mask.
Dermaplaning Facial
Dermaplaning exfoliates the epidermis which removes dead skin cells and reduces vellus hair (peach fuzz). This treatment is very safe and painless. Dermaplaining will result in smoother makeup application and will also allow for improved penetration of skin care products.
PRP Facial
Microneedling with PRP uses the power of plasma platelets to rejuvenate skin and reinvigorate cellular turnover. PRP has the unique ability to speed up elastin and collagen production which helps with skin tone and wrinkles.
Medical Grade Chemical Peel
Chemical peels improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, and hands. Additionally, chemical peels can be used to reduce fine lines, acne scars, brown spots, freckles, and melasma.
During a chemical peel treatment, a solution is applied to the skin and exfoliates the top layers. When the skin regenerates, it comes back smoother and with a more even tone. At LouMD Med Spa, we customize skin peels to each individual. Lighter peels require little to no downtime. Deeper peels take longer to recover from but also provide more dramatic results.
IPL Photofacial
IPL uses light therapy to improve skin texture and color. IPL is an excellent treatment for those experiencing uneven skin tone, rosacea, sun damage, or brown spots. Different filters are used to deliver the optimal wavelength for your condition.
When IPL is used for brown spots, pulses of light penetrate and break down the pigmented skin cells. The pigment particles will then come to the surface of the skin and have a similar appearance to fine coffee grounds. Within a week, they will flake off, leaving you with an improved skin tone.
SkinPen Microneedling
Treatments include the process of gently creating “micro-injuries” to the skin which triggers new collagen synthesis. Using Hyaluronic Acid during your SkinPen treatment revitalizes the skin's outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and hydrated to instantly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling also targets acne scars, scars related to surgery or an injury, and pigmentation.
“I was in need of a new med spa to get my monthly facials for maintenance and came across LouMD Medspa on google. After reading the amazing reviews I decided to schedule a consultation with Allie. During my consultation Allie made me feel extremely comfortable (being a male looking to get stuff like this done can be a bit scary). She was very knowledgeable and professional. The office was clean, bright, and modern as well which was a plus! They also offer things that I did not realize they had like laser treatments and such. I would most definitely recommend LouMD Medspa for any of your aesthetic needs. I was referred by a friend to Allie who raved about how Allie transformed her skin.”
Ideal Candidates
The majority of patients are candidates for facials and a tailored at-home skin-care regimen. A skin evaluation will be done prior to any treatments to determine your individual needs and goals.
If you have cold sores, recent cuts, sunburn, or conjunctivitis, it's best to wait until you have recovered before receiving a facial.
Procedure Technique
Facial massage is performed to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. Extractions and steam will be used as needed. Science-backed, medical-grade skincare products will be used during your facial to maximize healthy skin function.
What to Expect
You can expect your skin to feel refreshed and rejuvenated after your facial treatment. It's normal to experience temporary, mild redness after a facial that includes exfoliation or extractions. Maintaining your skin will result in healthier and radiant skin, now and in the future.
Facial FAQs
What type of facial should I get?
All facials can be customized based on your goals and skin texture. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation to formulate the best treatment plan and personalized facial.
What can I expect at my facial appointment?
Arrive early to your first appointment to fill out necessary paperwork. Afterwards, we will evaluate your skin and make recommendations to promote optimal skin health. Most facials consist of cleansing, exfoliation, steam, gentle massage, a hydrating mask, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
Is there anything I should do or avoid after my facial?
If possible, avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours. Also avoid using any harsh cleansers or exfoliants for 48-72 hours. Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated. Resist the temptation to touch your skin after your facial to avoid clogging your freshly cleaned pores with dirt and bacteria.
Following your facial, your esthetician will provide you with personal instructions and a timeframe on what products/activities to avoid.
Can I combine other treatments with a facial?
Dermaplaning is commonly paired with a facial and will be recommended by your skin-care professional if you are applicable. Microdermabrasion is another popular add-on. Both of these treatments can enhance the results of your facial.
How can I maintain my skin health and the results of my facial at home?
A customized at-home skincare regimen will be recommended for you to maximize your results. Other recommendations may be suggested to prevent and correct your specific skin concerns. Wearing protective sunscreen will also help prevent sun damage and the breakdown of collagen.
How often should I get a facial?
Many of our clients receive facials once a month or every other month. Your esthetician will recommend a frequency based on your personal needs and goals.
Do you offer any skin treatments for the body?
The Pink Intimate System is the ideal non-invasive solution for improving the appearance of intimate areas affected by hyperpigmentation . This innovative system allows women or men to feel more positive about their bodies, improving their overall self-confidence.
