Facials 101: The Origin & Goals of Skincare
Since ancient times, people have indulged in facials, using ingredients such as honey, milk, and various oils to improve their skin. But facials offer more than just skincare—they invite a moment of stillness, self-connection, and holistic renewal through the therapeutic process of being cared for. At our practice, we uphold this tradition, catering to a wide range of skincare needs and personal goals.
Over the past few centuries, we facialists have gained considerable expertise in skin anatomy, ingredient efficacy, and application techniques. Scientific breakthroughs and clinical testing have propelled skincare to impressive heights. By combining this advanced expertise with the timeless art of nurturing touch, we deliver facials that keep our patients coming back for more.
Getting one of our facials in Cincinnati can help with a wide range of skin problems and provide many benefits. Common patient goals include:
- Reducing acne & breakouts
- Minimizing fine lines & wrinkles
- Enhancing skin radiance & glow
- Evening out skin tone & discoloration
- Smoothing rough or uneven texture
- Boosting hydration & skin plumpness
- Calming redness & inflammation
- Supporting overall skin health & resilience
During a one-on-one consultation, one of our Skin Care Specialists asks about your goals and creates a customized skincare plan. Throughout this process, we keep you informed, making sure you understand your treatment and feel empowered to sustain healthy skin for the long haul.
When building your treatment plan, our Skin Care Specialists choose from a variety of powerful facials. Every facial we offer provides unique benefits using state-of-the-art techniques.
DiamondGlow®: The Deep Clean Your Skin Craves
The DiamondGlow Facial uses specialized technology to administer a dermabrasion treatment, which promotes clarity and radiance. It’s ideal for patients looking to unclog congested pores, smooth rough areas, or brighten their complexion. Whether you struggle with acne-prone skin or just want a refresh before your next big event, the DiamondGlow Facial can help.
In a clinical trial where participants took part in a series of 6 DiamondGlow Facials, researchers noted:
- 90% had increased radiance
- 89% had less dryness/scaling
- 81% had a more uniform skin tone
- 79% saw improvements in visible fine lines
How DiamondGlow® Works
One of the best facials in Cincinnati, DiamondGlow works in 4 distinct ways to purify and nourish your skin.
1. Cleanse
Cleansing, the first step of any good facial, removes dirt and other impurities that rest on the surface of your skin. Ridding you of this debris clears the way for the following steps, improving the effectiveness of the overall facial.
2. Exfoliate
Using a diamond-tipped handpiece, DiamondGlow gently eliminates the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin. Exfoliating allows healthier skin to show and improves the effectiveness of skincare products.
3. Extract
High-powered suction, combined with diamond tips of varying abrasiveness, provides a deep clean by lifting deeper dirt and debris out of your pores. These extractions prevent future breakouts, smooth texture, and even your complexion.
4. Infuse
Our customizable SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums reach deep within the skin, where pores are most receptive, delivering clinically proven ingredients. Over time, these nourishing components hydrate and revitalize your skin, giving it a brighter, more youthful look.
Skintrinsiq™: Smart Tech Meets Skin Therapy
The Skintrinsiq Facial employs vacuum-assisted technology to open pores and infuse Obaji Medical serums deep within your skin. Less congestion leads to better product absorption and results. For enhanced results, consider adding blue and red LED light therapy to your treatment; this can reduce bacteria and promote skin cell regeneration.
If you have clogged pores or dull skin, or want a boost between skin treatments, Skintrinsiq is an excellent option.
How Skintrinsiq™ Works
The Skintrinsiq Facial offers 4 unique treatment protocols, each targeting a different skin concern, making it one of the most versatile facials in Cincinnati.
Antioxidant Facial
The Antioxidant Facial targets skin discoloration, reducing signs of photodamage (sun spots) and evening out your overall skin tone. It also improves visible signs of aging, like crepey texture and sagging skin.
Brightening Facial
The Brightening Facial focuses on reducing skin discoloration, giving you a significantly clearer, more glowy appearance.
Clarifying Facial
The Clarifying Facial combats acne and blemishes by reducing oiliness and helping prevent future breakouts.
Firming Facial
The Firming Facial works to tighten your skin, improving fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.
PRP Facial: Natural Anti-Aging That Goes Deep
The PRP Facial pairs microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for an anti-aging treatment that works from the inside out to rejuvenate your skin’s appearance. It’s ideal for patients looking to improve acne scars, large pores, or aging skin. Known for its blood-based serum and rejuvenating effects, the PRP Facial provides a naturally regenerative treatment.
How PRP Facial Works
We begin a PRP Facial by drawing your blood and processing it to extract the PRP. A powerful healing serum, PRP is packed with growth factors and other repair cells. Before administering the PRP, we perform a microneedling treatment. This creates tiny channels in your skin, which stimulate your body’s natural healing process and increase collagen production.
Collagen gives your skin strength and structure, fighting against the signs of aging like loose or sagging skin. Boosting this key protein helps remodel your skin, giving it a firmer, clearer appearance. Next, we inject the PRP, which the microchannels allow to absorb deeply into your skin.
The PRP boosts your internal healing process, enhancing and speeding up your results. Improvements in your skin tone and texture appear gradually over several weeks and are long-lasting.
Hydrofacial®: The Glow-Up You’ll Want Monthly
The Hydrofacial, one of the most popular facials in Cincinnati, deeply cleanses, removes pore-clogging substances, and delivers potent moisturizers and customized skin nutrients. It’s ideal for patients with tired-looking skin looking to get that next-level glow. Consider adding this facial to your monthly skincare routine for maintenance, or use it as a confidence boost before any special occasion.
Studies showed that 5 or more Hydrofacial treatments resulted in both short-term and long-term positive effects for participants.
- 100% of participants had clearer skin, with 65% achieving acne-free skin.
- 100% reported visibly cleaner, clearer skin.
- 95% reported less oil & congestion.
- 85% of those with acne saw fewer blemishes & less inflammation.
- 70% reported a significant increase in skin hydration.
How Hydrofacial Works
The Hydrofacial uses patented vortex fusion technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse your skin with hydration and nutrients. We tailor these nutrients to your specific skin concerns, including options for dehydration, fine lines, or redness. Hydrofacial is a favorite among our patients because it delivers a radiant, smooth, and refreshed complexion instantly.
NOTE: The Hydrofacial is only available at our Kenwood location.
Considering Your Goals: Which Facial Is Right for You?
While most patients are suitable for all our facials, choosing the best one for your needs is still important. To help you choose, we’ve organized our facial options by skincare goal.
- For acne or blackheads: DiamondGlow or Skintrinsiq
- For dry or flaky skin: Hydrofacial or DiamondGlow
- For acne scars or wrinkles: PRP Facial
- For a quick glow before an event: Hydrofacial or DiamondGlow
- For a pregnancy-safe facial: Skintrinsiq or Hydrofacial and DiamondGlow (with modifications)
- For anti-aging or collagen stimulation: PRP Facial or Skintrinsiq
- For discoloration or dark spots: Many seek facials to address discoloration. However, for optimal results, we strongly advise exploring other treatments alongside facials. Options like our Sciton BBL, CO2 laser, and chemical peels often provide a more effective spot treatment for dark spots than traditional facials.
