The Benefits of ELEMIS Facials
2022-02-16
Here at ELEMIS, we know that there’s nothing like the incredible full-body relaxation of the deoxtifying and destressing of the skin and features with one of our globally-renowed facials. We also know that our ELEMIS community often have questions on all its benefits, how often to get one and how to care for skin, so we put together an ultimate guide on all things facials. We shared some of your FAQs to Hannah, Therapist Supervisor at The House of ELEMIS in Mayfair. Check out some of her expert advice below:
What is the difference between Touch and Technology facials?
Touch facials are hands-on therapies that solely use the highly effective ELEMIS Touch for product application. Combining ancient and modern massage techniques from around the world, the expertly trained hands of ELEMIS therapists massage the face, neck and shoulders, and scalp for a calm, relaxed feeling that is truly uplifting.
Technology facials uniquely apply product onto the skin using the ELEMIS Skin Lift Touch technique (including some products only available during Technology facials), while incorporating the incredible ground-breaking technology of the BIOTEC machine, causing the products work in more ways that before.
It’s a common misconception that Touch facials are more relaxing than Technology facials. But the gliding and flowing techniques used with the BIOTEC machine are sure to help you drift away just as quickly, if not quicker!
What is the difference of professional facials vs. using products at home?
As well as being in the skillful hands of ELEMIS therapists, here at ELEMIS we have a large selection of products used solely in our professional facials. This means that we can provide real and visible results after every treatment and give your skin something to re-awaken and revitalise itself.
To add to this, the beauty of our skin, is that it changes as frequently as several weeks, and with that, its needs change. Its that reason, that you be aware of its changes by varying up the products. Seeing a therapist on a regular basis will allow you to stay aware of your those changes and the best way to keep the cells working at their optimum. Plus, it’s a wonderful excuse to relax in the tranquil space that is The House of ELEMIS.
How often should I get a facial?
Ideally, you should aim get a facial as often as every 3-4 weeks. Depending on your age, your skin cells renew itself 27 days or more, meaning in order for your facials to have lasting effects, and see real results, you should work with the natural rhythm of the body, until you’ve reached a balanced stage.
How long will the results last?
Similar to exercising or visiting the gym, the results of facials are more apparent with continued use. A dedicated lifestyle choice and part of a self-care routine be continued at home with an effective personally prescribed skin programme. Here at ELEMIS we have an array of clinically proven facial treatments that can suit any skincare needs and concerns. So that means, those instant results can last up to a week and more. The therapist will also provide skincare and lifestyle advice to support and prolong the wonderful results of the facial, maintain healthy functioning skin until your next visit.
How do I know what facial to have?
With a full menu of options, there is something for every age and skin type. Luckily, our ELEMIS therapists are here to help you make the right decision. At The House of ELEMIS, we provide skin analysis at every visit, this means we assess your skin at that present moment and discuss with you your main concerns that you want us to tackle.
