SPA LUX offers a variety of different skincare services—from facial peels to customized facial treatments. We also offer a service called dermaplaning, which works to remove excess dirt and dead skin cells from the surface of your face. Dermaplaning is a great and minimally invasive exfoliating procedure, which is why we put together this helpful article to give you more information on our dermaplaning service.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and light hairs. Performed by a licensed esthetician, dermaplaning uses a scalpel to carefully shave off the top-most layer of your skin. This process allows the younger and healthier skin underneath to come through, giving your face a refreshed look.

What are the benefits of dermaplaning?

There are many benefits to receiving a dermaplaning service:

• Your skin will look and feel refreshed. Throughout your day-to-day life, a lot of dirt and excess oils build up on your face. By removing this top layer, your skin will reveal a shinier, healthier glow.
• Minimize scarring and fine lines. Dermaplaning can minimize superficial acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and diminish the look of fine lines. We do recommend you wait until active breakouts subside before coming in for a dermaplaning appointment.
• Dermaplaning is a quick procedure and no post-treatment is required. Which means you can easily schedule a dermaplaning appointment during your lunch break or in-between errands.
• Product application is smoother. Because dermaplaning removes dirt and fine hairs from the surface of your skin, when you apply moisturizer or makeup, the product is able to penetrate deeper into your skin, making the application process much more seamless.

Dermaplaning vs. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skincare procedure that uses crystals and vacuum suction to exfoliate your skin. The vacuum suction loosens the skin cells on your face, which leaves your skin feeling smoother. However, dermaplaning is a much less invasive procedure than microdermabrasion. Dermaplaning also leaves your skin with a natural glow due to the removal of fine hairs—something microdermabrasion can’t do.

How do I take care of my skin after dermaplaning?

After your dermaplaning service, your esthetician will give you all the guidelines on how to take care of your face moving forward. One of the most important things we recommend after dermaplaning is the application of SPF to your skin. Because dermaplaning removes the top layer of your skin, your face is now more susceptible to sun damage. A light layer of SPF will help to protect it.

Dermaplaning results usually last up to three to four weeks. We recommend scheduling appointments monthly.

Getting a facial is a great way to relax while receiving professional treatment on your skin. But if you’ve never gotten one before, getting a facial can seem daunting. What does a facial feel like? What products is my esthetician going to use? What kind of facial is best for my skin type? If you’re unsure about how to prepare for your first facial, then read on to learn more about this spa service and what to expect when you get one.

What are facials and why are they important?

A facial is a set of relaxing skin treatments performed on your face, your neck, and around your upper chest. They’re designed to rejuvenate your skin, removing any dead skin cells and ultimately giving your skin a newer and cleaner look. Facials are performed by a licensed esthetician, so you can rest assured knowing your skin is in good hands. Some estheticians are also trained in specific areas, such as microdermabrasion or light therapy, and can recommend these treatments to you as well.

What is included in a facial?

While this will depend on the type of package you’ve purchased, most facials typically consist of cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, massage, and a mask and finishing products tailored to your skin type. At SPA LUX, we also offer several add-on options, such as dermaplaning or facial peels. Our staff can help you decide which services will work best for you.

For most of our facial services, your esthetician will start by using a general cleanser to clean out the oil and dirt lingering on your skin. Exfoliation comes next​​—this process will remove the dead skin cells on your face, giving you a fresh new look. Extraction removes whiteheads and blackheads from your face, allowing skincare products to seep further into your skin. Your esthetician will then take care to apply products chosen specifically for your skin type.

How do I prepare for a facial?

Feel free to come in after work or in-between running errands. We provide robes and sandals for you to change into, as well as our steam and sauna rooms to help you relax before your treatment. Your esthetician will do the rest, so you can simply enjoy.

Are there different kinds of facials?

We offer a handful of different types of facials for whatever stage your skin might be at. A few of our most popular facials include, our Purifying Facial, which focuses on cleansing and detoxifying in order to improve the health of your skin; our Firming Anti-Aging Facial, ideal for leaving your skin fresh and hydrated; and our SPA LUX Signature Facial, which is customized to the needs of every individual customer. Make sure to check out our Facials webpage for more information.

How do I take care of my skin after a facial?

After your facial, your esthetician will give you all the information you need to know on how to take care of your skin moving forward. But we’ll lay out some of the basics for you now—

• Don’t use our steam and sauna rooms after your treatment.
• Don’t use any moisturizer or heavy foundation and makeup for the rest of the day.
• Your skin is good to go until the next morning—no need for any more extensive care.

 

We hope this gives you a little bit more peace of mind before you come in for your facial treatment. For more information about Spa Lux and the many facials we offer visit us at www.SpaLux.org. You can also book an appointment online or call us at (918) 615-3339.

Transportation Services: 

For clients who might be missing out on Spa Lux’s luxurious pampering due to a disability or inability to drive, Spa Lux has partnered with BiosCare to provide concierge services.

BiosCare concierges are pleased to accompany clients to Spa Lux, ensuring that they get to their appointments safely and on time.  BiosCare provides door-through-door services, meaning that unlike a transportation service, these concierges are companions; they are there every step of the way.  They assist clients in and out of the building and help with any necessary paperwork during check-in and check-out.  If appropriate, they remain present as needed during the consultation and preparation for your Spa Lux service, they act as an extra set of eyes and ears, helping to ensure instructions are clearly understood.  Following the appointment, they can assist with dressing, gathering belongings and preparing for travel home.  

BiosCare concierges provide transportation in their vehicle or yours.  They are licensed, bonded and insured and are fully background checked for your protection.  BiosCare provides a full array of additional care services to meet all levels of need.

Transportation must be booked 48-hours before appointments. BiosCare service can be added at the rate of $25 per hour, which will include the time of door-to-door transportation, check-in and treatment at Spa Lux and transportation back. We estimate that for a 55-minute spa appointment a client must reserve 3 hours of BiosCare concierge service.

Transportation must be booked and paid for 48-hours before appointments.
