Cosmetic Facials AESTHETICIAN THERAPIES Unit 2: Cosmetic Facials Cosmetic facials are recommended to cleanse, exfoliate and nourish your skin giving you a clear, well-hydrated complexion. Regular facials can help people with acne and blackheads to reduce the amount of breakouts they experience. Your aesthetician begins the facial by thoroughly cleansing your skin. The basic steps of a cosmetic facial include: (Refer fig. 5) (Fig. 5) Skin Analysis- The aesthetician examines your skin closely to reveal various skin conditions that need to be treated. (Refer fig. 6) (Fig. 6) Cleansing- Your aesthetician uses cotton pads or sponges and a cleansing lotion chosen for your skin type (dry, oily, combination, normal). (Refer fig. 7) (Fig. 7)
Unit 2: Cosmetic Facials Exfoliation- Exfoliant products are used to reduce surface oil, remove dead skin cells, soothe and hydrate your skin. (Refer fig. 8) (Fig. 8) Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads- Pore blockages or comedones will be gently removed. (Refer fig. 9) (Fig. 9) Facial massage-your aesthetician will massage your face using gentle strokes to stimulate your skin and facial muscles.

Microdermabrasion Facial AESTHETICIAN THERAPIES Unit 3: Microdermabrasion Facial The microdermabrasion technique abrades the skin using a high-pressure flow of crystals. This is an effective treatment for fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, age related changes, and superficial scars, with minimum risk and rapid recovery. Microdermabrasion makes your skin thicker and healthier. Multiple treatments are beneficial as they encourage the production of higher levels of collagen and elastin which are essential for healthy glowing skin. A series of 5-12 treatments are required to achieve good results but in cases of acne scars more treatments may be needed. (Fig. 14) (Refer fig. 12) (Fig. 15) Fine Wrinkles (Fig. 16) Enlarged pores

Glycolic acid and beta lift peels AESTHETICIAN THERAPIES Unit 4: Glycolic acid and beta lift peels Glycolic acid and beta lift peels are cosmetic procedures called chemical peels used to rejuvenate the skin. Chemical peels can diminish fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin discoloration, brighten a dull complexion, or soften rough skin. The chemicals used in this cosmetic procedure, glycolic acid or beta salicylic acid, cause the damaged upper layers of skin to peel off and new skin to appear in 14 days. (Refer fig. 28 to 37 ) Cosmetic procedures (Fig. 28) (Fig. 29) Before (Fig. 30) After
Unit 4: Glycolic acid and beta lift peels Chemical peeling requires some follow-up care. You must protect your skin from sun exposure and avoid smoking to prevent scarring and infection.
