dermalogica skin treatments

For the main, yes, most people can have a dermalogica skin treatment. As the treatment is customised to your needs, there is a product combination that will address those. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions the products and treatments need to be modified. There is even a range for teenage acne!

Facials are recommended either fortnightly or monthly depending on you skin condition and key concerns. The cell turnover process happens approximately happens every 30 days. When we get older, this process slows down which helps contribute towards wrinkles, congestion, fine lines and dull, sallow looking skin. Our muscles become less which causes drooping skin and 'jowls'. By having regular facials, it gives your body the help it needs to do what it is supposed to naturally.

Ideally its best to wait for at least 48 hours before a facial to avoid irritation to the skin, but this is not always possible. If you have booked a facial and waxing, we will wax first and the avoid the areas during the facial.

It is quite normal to experience slight redness or tingling during or after a facial especially if you have received exfoliation, extractions or used products with active ingredients. This should settle during or after the facial treatment. If you have sensitive or sensitised skin or have certain skin types you may experience more redness post treatment and may take longer to dissipate.

Your skin health is important to all dermalogica skin therapists and using the correctly prescribed products for use at home will help target those key concerns and improve your skin health and continue to the benefit from your regular skin treatments. These products will be prescribed after your face mapping analysis at the end of your treatment or your complementary consultation.
