If you’re the type of person who finds herself constantly on the go, then making time to visit your local medical spa is probably a challenge unto itself. After all, the last thing you’ll want is to turn what should be a soothing and rejuvenating experience into a source of additional stress, and at the same time, you can’t help but admit that if given the choice between tending to your skin or simply getting a chance to relax, you’re tempted to opt for the latter.
Fortunately, one medical spa is making it possible for patients torn between skin care and relaxation to get the best of both worlds. Thanks to the Young Oxygen Facial, patients at Allentown, Pennsylvania’s Young Medical Spa can experience the ultimate combination of skin care and personal indulgence. Paula Young is the staff nurse and co-owner of Young Medical Spa, and according to her, there’s a reason why her award-winning signature facial is so popular among clients.
The Young Oxygen Facial was designed to cater to customers with skin that is oily, lackluster or damaged. In the Lehigh Valley area, many folks tend to sport environmentally damaged skin as a result of working outdoors. Additionally, some people are just plain prone to breakouts at key periods throughout any given year. The great thing about the Young Oxygen Facial is that it works to treat a variety of skin ailments by combining cleansing techniques with microdermabrasion.
What makes the Young Oxygen Facial so special? First of all, the method used to cleanse the skin is extremely effective. An aesthetician will typically start by cleaning a patient’s face to remove dirt and oil buildups. Once this is done, the person performing the facial will use a high frequency technique to push oxygen and chemicals into the skin. This works to tone the skin and eliminate the unhealthy bacteria that would normally cause breakouts. Following this oxygen treatment, the aesthetician in charge will use microdermabrasion to exfoliate the skin and reveal a layer that is smoother and more alive.
While the Young Oxygen Facial does a great job at cleaning, toning, and preventing future breakouts, it is relaxing. At the start of the procedure, a patient will be asked to choose an aromatherapy scent to set the mood for the cleansing portion of this specialty treatment. Once the facial and microdermabrasion elements are complete, the aesthetician in charge will perform a hand and arm massage using hot stones to relax her patient and send her off feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. According to Young, this mini massage is the perfect way to top off this type of experience, and the average patient who undergoes the Young Oxygen Facial begs for more.
The Young Oxygen Facial is actually a good option for seasoned medical spa clients as well as those who have never so much as had a facial before. While some facials can feel abrasive or harsh, the Young Oxygen Facial is soothing and relaxing. Additionally, those worried about the possibility of breaking out after a facial need not worry about this otherwise common side effect when undergoing the Young Oxygen Facial. According to Young, by oxygenating the skin during the procedure, the process works to eliminate the bacteria that would otherwise get disrupted over the course of a facial. The result is skin that is fresh-looking, smooth, and bacteria-free.
Best of all, the Young Oxygen Facial only takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. While those with busy schedules may not be able to squeeze it in during a lunch hour, they also won’t need to cancel their plans for an entire day in order to take care of their skin.
If your busy schedule has caused you to neglect your skin – and your sanity – for far too long, then it’s time to put an end to the madness. Treat yourself to the Young Oxygen Facial, and get ready to walk away feeling invigorated on many levels.
