Benefits of Whitening Facial

Sometimes topical creams such as, hydroquinone and tretinoin do not work fast enough to correct deeper pigmentation problems or sun damage. For many people lasers are not an option due to cost constraints or downtime. Your skin maybe in good shape, but you abused it by having too much fun in the sun, vacationing, or a weekend without enough sunscreen. All of us fall in one or a combination of the above scenarios and anyone above age 25 definitely has signs of visible sun damage that can be improved even if topical creams or procedures are not a viable option.

At the Obagi Skin Health Institute, the Whitening Facial™ is by far one of the most popular facial services offered. Results are clearly visible after one treatment, with a series of facials providing maximum benefit to skin. All facials at the Obagi® Skin Health are “results oriented-” designed to give you the luxury and relaxation of a “spa facial” while simultaneously providing cellular benefits to the skin.

During the Whitening Facial, a crystal-free microdermabrasion is utilized to rejuvenate skin, shrink pores, and most importantly, stimulate the regeneration of healthy skin cells (via the removal of dead skin cells). This also removes superficial sun damage and any tan you may have acquired. A custom mask conceived and brought into market by Dr. Obagi, utilizing potent lactic acid and other proprietary ingredients to reverse and correct discoloration, is applied during treatment. Skin is then infused with antioxidants and other topical creams (tailored to your skin type) designed to regulate melanocyte activity, strengthen and tighten skin, and to regenerate clear and healthy layers. Finally, treatment is concluded with the use of LED technology (Light Emitting Diodes) to stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and tighten skin. Whether you decide to have this facial as a stand alone treatment OR to supplement your current anti-aging treatment, this is one service that does not disappoint and combines relaxation with visible benefits to your skin.
