Surface skin work performed by a licensed esthetician, with a clear line between that and anything medical.
A facial follows a fairly consistent sequence: the esthetician looks at your skin and asks about it, cleanses, exfoliates, may use steam, may perform extractions, applies a mask, and finishes with moisturizer and sun protection. Facial and neck massage is often part of it. Extractions are the step most people have questions about — they can be uncomfortable, they are optional, and you can ask the esthetician to skip them.
Tell the esthetician what you are using at home, particularly any prescription skin medication, retinoids or acids, and mention anything you have had done recently. Those change what is safe to do with exfoliation and with wax. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, or a mole or lesion that has changed, a dermatologist comes first — a facial is a spa appointment, not care for a medical condition, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Anything provider-supervised — injectables, lasers, chemical peels, medical-grade protocols — is a different category of appointment entirely and belongs with habitmedspa.com. Ask whether the esthetician is licensed in Utah and exactly what the facial includes, because the same word covers a wide range of services.
Say which service, when, and anything a therapist or esthetician should know. We will match you and tell you what the appointment involves.
