Facial Treatments – Adelaide

We only have one face and each and every day we are getting older.  We need to start to take care of what we have.  By having regular facial treatments, cell turnover is increased, collagen production is boosted and our skin is nourished and moisturised.  This all equates to a very good anti-ageing remedy.

Teenagers often struggle with acne, sometimes due to lazy or non-existent skincare.  Having regular facial treatments can help to manage the overproduction of oils, blocked glands and whiteheads.  Not only this, it will help your teen to learn to take good care of their skin. Professional advice is sometimes better received than parents advice.

Free radical damage from the environment is impossible to avoid.  Our skin is bombarded with UV rays, toxins, and dirt on a daily basis.  Exfoliation like chemical peels and microdermabrasion are able to remove dead skin cells and promote new healthy cell turnover.  Over time these may help to diminish scarring, diminish facial pigmentation as well as acne.

Even if you have dry skin a cleanser will help clean the pores to a deeper level.  Most of us need to cleanse our skin more effectively and for longer periods for our pores to become properly clean. Deep cleansing facial treatments can remove dirt and oil build within our pores.  Proper cleansing will help us to feel rejuvenated and the pores will appear more refined.  It is analogous to seeing the dentist. Only a dentist can clean our teeth properly!

We all live busy and hectic lifestyles where we don’t find time for ourselves.  Having a facial treatment is one of the most relaxing experiences you can have.  It will help restore calm to your mind as well as have great benefits for your skin.

Aestheticians, like Dr Targett, know what works and what does not work.  They are able to accurately assess your skin and advise what skincare products will best suit your skin.  She will get to know your skin better over time and monitor how well the products are working for you.
