Facial Treatments in Jackson, MS

Most adults can benefit from facial treatments. You might be a good candidate if you:

• Want to improve your skin’s texture or appearance
• Have concerns about acne, wrinkles, or sun damage
• Are looking for ways to maintain healthy skin
• Have realistic expectations

However, some people should wait before getting facial treatments. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking certain medications, some facial treatments may be unsafe for you. Always tell our team about any health conditions or medications you’re taking. We’ll assess your situation and explain the best strategy for you.

Your skin type, age, and goals all affect how often you should have facial treatment.

• Most people benefit from facial treatment every four to six weeks for basic maintenance. This timing matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle and keeps skin looking its best.
• If you’re dealing with issues like acne or sun damage, you might need treatment more often at first. We’ll create a schedule that works for your situation.
• Some treatments require a series of sessions to see the best results.

Facial treatments for different skin types vary greatly. The good news is that there are options for almost everyone.

• Treatments that add moisture and improve your skin barrier will work well if you have dry skin. People with oily skin often benefit from treatments that help control oil production and clear pores.
• Sensitive skin needs gentle treatments. Our doctors will choose products and techniques that won’t irritate your skin. Even people with conditions like rosacea can often find suitable treatments.
• We can also treat combination skin, where some areas are oily and others dry. We’ll adjust the treatment for each area of your face.

The question about makeup after facial treatment is very common, and the answer depends on what type of treatment you receive.

For gentle treatments like basic facials, you can usually wear makeup the same day or the next day. However, your skin might be slightly red or sensitive right after treatment. More intensive treatments might require you to wait longer before applying makeup. Some laser treatments or chemical peels can leave your skin sensitive for several days.

Following your facial treatment, we’ll give you specific instructions about when it’s safe to wear makeup again and recommend gentle products that won’t irritate your treated skin.

Many people worry about whether facial laser treatment hurts or if other treatments cause pain. Fortunately, most facial treatments are quite comfortable.

• Basic facials feel relaxed. You might feel pressure during extractions or when products are applied, but no pain.
• More advanced treatments like laser therapy might cause some discomfort. Most people describe it as a warm sensation or a light snapping feeling. Your provider can use cooling techniques or numbing cream to make you more comfortable.
• Chemical peels might cause a mild stinging sensation, but this usually lasts just a few minutes.
