Pre-Treatment Guide For Facials
What is a Facial?
A facial is a luxurious and relaxing skincare treatment designed to address your specific skin needs while providing a moment of relaxation. Elan offers a variety of facial options to cater to different concerns and preferences, including the Elan Signature Facial, Elan Express Clean Facial, Teen Facial, and Elan Medi-Glow Facial.
How to Prepare for Your Facial Treatment:
To ensure the best possible experience and results from your facial treatment, follow these guidelines before your appointment:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before the treatment.
- Refrain from using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or any other exfoliating products for 48 hours prior to your appointment.
- Do not undergo any other facial treatments, chemical peels, or laser procedures within two weeks of your facial treatment.
- Inform your aesthetician about any skincare products, medications, or medical conditions you have before the treatment.
- Arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup, lotions, or creams.
- Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment.
What to Expect During Your Facial Treatment:
During your facial treatment at Elan, your aesthetician will perform a series of steps customized to your specific facial option:
- Deep Cleanse: Your aesthetician will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any traces of makeup, dirt, or impurities.
- Steam and Exfoliation: Steam or warm towels may be used to open up your pores, followed by gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh, radiant complexion.
- Extractions: If necessary, your aesthetician will perform extractions to remove any clogged pores or blackheads.
- Massage: Depending on your chosen facial, a soothing facial massage may be included to stimulate circulation, relax facial muscles, and promote lymphatic drainage.
- Mask: A custom mask will be applied to address your specific skin concerns, such as hydration, brightening, or purifying.
- Shoulder and Neck Massage: Some facial options include a relaxing shoulder and neck massage to enhance your overall relaxation and well-being.
