DETOX FACIAL
What should I expect?
A clarity power facial experience that leaves your skin exfoliated, pores clean, and look refreshed and glowing.
Who should not have a Detox Power Facial?
High frequency is not recommended in pregnancy, if you have had a recent light or laser treatment, chemical peel, facial waxing, recent facial steroid injection, recent microdermabrasion, recent surgical procedure or skin infection, recent sun burn or recent changes in moles or growths in the treatment area. If you have an active or unstable medical condition such as epilepsy, cancer, autoimmune disease or diabetes then treatment should be deferred. If you have a history of cold sores, an anti-viral medication may be prescribed by the physician at your consult. Recent AHA, BHA, Retin-A or retinoid use may make your skin more sensitive and red. Additional contraindications for light therapy include m photo-allergy, and medications that cause light sensitivity (such as Tetracycline). Also, if you are currently taking steroids or cortisone injections, you should not receive light therapy.
