Beauty Facials

A facial is a great way to recharge your skin and get rid of impurities, while you get to relax at the same time. In fact, it is a great bonding session among friends, particularly if you are overworked and looking for a little pampering.

Understanding a facial

Now that you know that you need to enlist the services of an esthetician, you will be more relaxed knowing that your skin will be properly taken care of. This being said, a facial is a set of skin care treatments for your face with the goal of exfoliating your skin, removing impurities, and dead skin. It is usually performed in beauty salons, day spas, and even your dermatologist’s office. There are some dermatologists who employ estheticians in their private practice.

A facial treatment usually varies from provider to provider. It can be as extensive as one where you are given a full body massage in the package, or others where you are only given the basics. Essentially, a facial treatment usually includes steaming, exfoliation, and extraction. Other providers will incorporate facial masks, peels, and facial massages. It essentially depends on the package you purchase and your provider.

HOW TO TREAT DANDRUFF

Dandruff is a common scalp condition in which small pieces of dry skin flake off of the scalp. If you have dark hair or you’re wearing dark colors, you may notice the flakes in your hair or on your shoulders. Dandruff may also make your scalp itch.

Many people believe that dandruff is caused by poor hygiene, but this is not true. Although infrequent shampooing can make dandruff more obvious, researchers are still studying the causes, which appear to be complex.

The most effective way to treat and control dandruff is to use dandruff shampoo and scalp treatments. Follow these tips from dermatologists to get the best results:

• Follow the instructions on the dandruff shampoo bottle. There are many different dandruff shampoos, and each contains different active ingredients for controlling symptoms. To get the best results, always follow the instructions on the bottle. For example, some dandruff shampoos require that you lather the shampoo into the hair and scalp and leave the shampoo in for about five minutes before rinsing. Others should not be left on the scalp.
• you are Caucasian or Asian, shampoo daily and use dandruff shampoo twice a week. If using one dandruff shampoo does not bring relief, try alternating between dandruff shampoos with different active ingredients.
• If you are African-American, only shampoo once a week using a dandruff shampoo. See a board-certified dermatologist for the best product recommendation for your hair type.
• Be careful when using a dandruff shampoo that contains coal tar. Tar shampoo can discolor blonde, grey or white hair, so if you have light-colored hair, you may want to choose a different dandruff shampoo. Tar shampoo also has the potential to make your scalp more sensitive to sunlight. If you use this type of dandruff shampoo, it’s important to protect your scalp from the sun by wearing a hat when outdoors and seeking shade whenever possible.

For most people, dandruff does not require medical attention. However, sometimes the flaking and itching that appears like dandruff is actually a medical condition, such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections of the scalp, or eczema.

If you continue to have symptoms after using a dandruff shampoo, consult a Our certified Hair Specialist. A Specialist can properly diagnose your condition and recommend a treatment plan that best meets your needs.

Before making a diagnosis, your doctor will likely give you a physical exam and ask about your diet, your hair care routine, and your medical and family history. You might also have tests, such as the following:

• Blood test: This might help uncover medical conditions that can cause hair loss.
• Pull test: Your doctor gently pulls several dozen hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the shedding process.
• Scalp biopsy: Your doctor scrapes samples from the skin or from a few hairs plucked from the scalp to examine the hair roots under a microscope. This can help determine whether an infection is causing hair loss.
• Light microscopy: Your doctor uses a special instrument to examine hairs trimmed at their bases. Microscopy helps uncover possible disorders of the hair shaft.

Oxyjet Treatments

Oxygen Facials are incredibly popular with celebrities and is considered one of the most effective facials currently available. Oxyjet is the ultimate oxygenating treatment to revive face, décolleté and hands; the Oxyget. The treatment uses a combination of exfoliation, oxygen and vitamins to help regenerate the skin whilst improving circulation. It is excellent for treating scar tissue, wrinnkles and pigmentation problems and will unlock a new lease of life in your skin.

HOW IT WORKS

• reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinnkles

The face décolleté and hands are cleansed using Oxyjet products followed by exfoliation of the upper layer of the epidermis

Anti free radical vitamins A, C, E & D are then pushed by the Oxyjet pressure system into the skin. Oxyjet helps the vitamins penetrate deep into the skin into the biomaitrix and basal layer where the re-generation of the cells takes place. Oxy fluid is then sprayed onto the skin to improve blood circulation and a collagen face mask with calcium B5 is applied to calm and soothe the skin.

An aroma oxygen mask is put on to breathe through, this improves the metabolic performance. An additional stage can be added by treating the eyes with the Instant Caviar Lift Beauty Tox Patches, these Caviar-Collagen pads which immediately minimize the appearance of puffiness and wrinnkles in the eye and mouth area.

A course of 5 treatments are recommended once a week but a difference can be seen after one treatment.
