es·the·ti·cian[ èsthə tísh'n] a person trained to administer facials, peels, waxing, microdermabrasion, body treatments etc. and advise clients on the care of their skin and makeup techniques.

A licensed Esthetician has received focused, extensive training in the areas of anatomy and physiology, pathology, technique and sanitation. 95 percent of a cosmetologists training is hair. The decision is yours.

A facial is a cosmetic treatment of the face, commonly involving a variety of skin treatments, including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, serums, masks, peels, and massage.

Facials smooth and soften the skin, stimulate circulation, reduce appearance of pores and fine lines, improve product penetration, improve muscle tone, relieve stress and tension, help relieve sinus congestion, facial pain, and much more. 

Ideally, have a facial every four to six weeks.  Why?  That's how long it takes the skin to regenerate.  You may need them more frequently(when beginning treatments) if you are trying to clear up a case of acne, calm an inflamed case of rosacea, fade hyperpigmentation, or make a more rapid improvement in firmness and elasticity. Atleast, have a facial four times a year as the seasons change. 

Microdermabrasion(often referred to as microderm) is a popular, painless, non-invasive cosmetic procedure in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion(exfoliation).  The intensity used in this treatment depends on your skin type and conditions.

Microdermabrasion stimulates cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin.  It treats sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, superficial scars, whiteheads, blackheads, and hyperpigmentation.  As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce fine lines, poor size, fade hyperpigmentation, or treat acne.
