‘Beautiful skin doesn’t

produce a deep cleansing ef-
fect. Depending on the active
product being used, this
will help reduce spots and
blemishes (making this a
good facial for an oily skin
type), or to help infuse active
ingredients deeper in to the skin
(for a variety of skin types).
High frequency treatments: a
direct high frequency facial
uses a glass electrode passed
over gauze placed on the skin.
This helps dry out spots and
has an antibacterial effect, so
is good for oilier skins or those
with a few specific blemishes.
An indirect high frequency
facial uses a saturator held
by the client to draw a
moisturising massage medium
deeper in to the skin,and so is
best suited for more mature or
dry skin types.Microcurrent
treatments: also known as
non-surgical face lift, this
type of facial uses a current
to lift and tone the facial
muscles and also to improve
the colour and texture of
the skin and soften lines.
During most of
electro
therapy treatments you may
experience a slight tingling
effect on the skin, but this
is quite normal. While most
people will benefit from the
restorative and relaxation
effects of a facial treatment,
there are some contraindications
(more likely for electrotherapy
facials)which any trained
therapist will be aware of.
You should therefore expect
your therapist to go through
a very thorough consultation
before your first facial to find
out what treatment best suits
your needs and your skin type.

skincare clogged pores and a
ruddy complexion can actually
work against the very best
efforts to take care of your
skin. Even the highest quality
creams and serums won’t
be as effective if your skin
is suffering from excess
dryness, uneven tone or
free-radical congestion. By
maintaining smooth skin and
refined pores, your skincare
will absorb properly and
do what it is meant to do.
Who doesn’t love extracting
blackheads, pore and pimples
Well, unfortunately, poorly
extracted skin (or “picking
pimples”) is the reason so
many of us have facial
scarring, broken capillaries
and acne flare-ups. Extraction
is a delicate procedure that
must be done gienically.
