What is a facial?
This is a form of treatment designed to revitalize your face, leaving you with healthier, brighter skin. Through a variety of methods and processes, a facial cleanses the pores, removes old and dead skin cells, and nourishes the face so all you see is young, glowing skin that looks and feels refreshed.
Champagne Skin Lounge offers a range of facial services that promote rejuvenation and reduce or even reverse the damage caused by many common skin conditions, all while you sit back, relax and recharge. The result is a newer, fresher you, and we have a treatment for every skin type.
We all deserve a little luxury in our lives and there is nothing more luxurious than vibrant, healthy skin. Come into Champagne Skin Lounge for your Carlsbad spa day and let a professional esthetician help you feel amazing.
What are the different types of facials in Carlsbad?
Our menu of services is geared towards meeting the many needs of our diverse clientele. That’s why we offer a number of professional facials in Carlsbad, CA. Learn more about these wonderful, time-efficient treatments.
Oxygen Facial
This type of facial uses a nearly pure form of oxygen that contains an array of nutrients which is sprayed across the surface layer of skin. The skin cells of this outer layer may be lacking in oxygen and our process nourishes and hydrates those cells to refresh the skin.
This will not have the same effect on dead skin as you can no longer rejuvenate these cells. Therefore, an oxygen facial will typically start with an exfoliation process to clear away the dead skin and reveal the fresh layer underneath.
Custom Blended Facial
Lasting roughly one hour, this option incorporates all of the services associated with a comprehensive facial treatment. This includes a deep pore cleansing, an exfoliation, extraction, a custom-blended treatment mask and serum, and hydration. The service ends with a soothing facial massage to help you feel amazing!
Mini Facial
A thirty-minute facial that is uniquely customized to your specific needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all treatment, we work with you to design the facial that addresses the current condition of your skin.
Microdermabrasion
This type of facial is an ideal way to treat imperfections on the skin caused by mild scarring, age, and sun damage. Many clients will come in for microdermabrasion to tackle fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne. This professional treatment is also a very effective way to reduce those old acne scars. The process targets the outer layer of skin with a device that emits coarse crystals to eliminate the dead skin and suctions the cells away.
TCA Peel
A chemical peel that uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to clarify the skin. Another method for eliminating dead skin cells, this type of facial uses the acid to clear the top layer away to help stimulate new skin cell growth. Many of our clients choose chemical peels to treat melasma and reduce scarring from acne.
Hydropeptide Intense Refresh Facial
Using a specially created combination of peptide formulas, Hydropeptide facials contain medical-grade components that work deeper than most other facial ingredients. They penetrate so deep as to manipulate your genes and impact your appearance. This is done through the process of epigenetics which regulates the control of your skin growth. The Hydropeptide brand makes a variety of products to address any concerns and we work with you to devise a treatment program specially formulated for your skin and its challenges.
What happens during a facial?
The specifics of the facial you select will vary but these are some of the basic details that can apply to many of the services we provide.
Cleansing
This part of the facial care process typically focuses on cleaning the skin of the face. Sometimes you will be asked to clean your face before the start of your appointment but, in many cases, one of our technicians will be doing the cleansing for you. Our clients often find this to be a relaxing start to their session.
Exfoliation
This part of the facial care process concentrates on the removal of dead skin cells. Depending on the type of facial service you choose, the exfoliation component of the treatment can be gentle or slightly more aggressive to eliminate all of the dead cells from the top layer of skin. Exfoliation will also work to remove imperfections that go deeper into the skin.
Extraction
This part of the facial care process works to remove the impurities that exist in your skin. Focusing solely on the outer layer, your Carlsbad technicians will extract things like blackheads and light cases of acne during professional facials. Any impurities that are found below the outer layer are typically better left to a dermatologist for extraction to achieve the best results.
Additional Treatments
Depending on the style of facial you select, you may have the opportunity to combine additional treatment options to your package. This could include one of our many chemical or peptide-infused peels such as Vitamin C, Pumpkin, Retinol/Lactid, or Mandelic acid peels.
What kind of facial should I get?
The type of facial to select will depend on the type of results you are seeking. Some of our clients will opt for a facial that works toward slowing down the signs of aging and reducing wrinkles. The best type of facials for this purpose are vitamin therapies and microdermabrasion.
Clients who want to address acne and the scars that sometimes come with it are advised to choose a treatment option that works to deep clean and extract imperfections from the skin. Acid peels are also a good choice for clients who are suffering from oily skin and damaged complexions.
We offer oxygen facials for clients who want to brighten their skin and diminish wrinkles. This process helps nourish dry and dehydrated skin cells through the delivery of 98% pure oxygen.
How often can you get facials in Carlsbad, CA?
The typical life cycle of skin cells is three to four weeks. You can use that metric as a guide for maintaining the luster of your skin. Once you have finished receiving a facial treatment, it takes nearly a month for the skin cells to grow back. Facial treatments assist in this cycle, so getting facials in Carlsbad, CA, once a month can keep your skin healthy and glowing.
