A European facial is a comprehensive treatment that provides a thorough, deep cleansing of the face and neck. First, a cleansing removes makeup and impurities from the face. We then begin the exfoliation process to remove dead skin cells. From there, we perform an extraction process to deep clean the skin, and then apply disinfection to clean the skin further. A mask is then applied to condition and moisturize.

Symptoms necessitating a European facial often include clogged pores, fine lines, age spots, blemishes or dry and uneven skin tones. Your licensed esthetician at Rewind Medical Spa® will advise you on the best facial for your skin type.

What to Expect

PROCEDURE
It’s always a great idea to meet with a Licensed Esthetician who can also personalize your facial depending on your complexion or needs. These three steps are very important in determining the correct products for your skin and will also help you in achieving your ultimate skin goals.

What to expect when you meet with a Licensed Esthetician:

1. Initial Consultation – to assess your type of skin and choose the best treatment.
2. Proper Skin Analysis – which usually involves:
   a)  Skin type and sensitivity
   b)  Pore size
   c)  Types of relevant conditions
   d)  Learn of any medications if any,
3. Design a Treatment Plan: Achieving your final skin goals takes time. Having a treatment plan in place is essential. This is a time for your licensed esthetician to document what products were used, the outcome, and your goals for the next visit to ensure you reach your skin goals.

European Facial vs Microdermabrasion

The primary difference between a European facial treatment and microdermabrasion is that a facial is more customized. A microdermabrasion is a standard procedure used for deep exfoliation. While both treatments aim to improve your skin, a European facial takes your current skin condition into consideration and your licensed esthetician will choose products that will meet your specific skin needs.

This procedure is less intense than microdermabrasion and includes aspects from a full skincare regimen. The treatment that would work best for you depends on your goals and the current condition of your skin.
