As the human body ages, its processes begin to slow and do not function as efficiently as when it was younger. The skin is the largest organ of the body and is no exception as the natural shedding of its outermost layer, or desquamation, slows. When people are younger, the skin naturally exfoliates itself approximately once a month; however, the frequency diminishes as the years progress to anywhere between 45 and 90 days. People get facials for a variety of reasons, from using it as an anti-aging treatment to unclogging pores, but the results are always the same — healthier, clearer, and more even-toned skin. Professional facials are the most effective because the aesthetician uses their experience to analyze an individual’s skin then cater the treatment to the appropriate skin type and issues. Professional skin care products are also generally more effective, but the #1 reason for going to a professional is the safe extraction of blackheads and impurities, resulting in less facial damage. One very effective skin exfoliation method is dermaplaning, which can be performed on its own, with a cooling mask treatment, or in conjunction with a full facial at Scott Talbot Salonspa in Akron, Ohio, and Canton, Ohio. Anyone can take the short drive from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; Massillon, Ohio; and beyond to uncover healthier skin at this local beauty salon.

The aestheticians at Scott Talbot Salonspa know that many reasons exist to treat oneself to a professional facial, and their goal is to help everyone from Massillon to Cuyahoga Falls uncover their skin’s true potential. Benefits of going to a professional for a facial include increasing cellular turnover, softening of fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing the skin, and breaking up discoloration for a more even-toned skin. This local beauty salon now offers dermaplaning to assist one’s natural skin exfoliation that may have slowed over the years. Dermaplaning is an exfoliation method in which a #10 scalpel is used to gently scrape the epidermis, removing the top layer of dead skin cells. Aging leads to slower circulation, which can result in dull, tired looking skin, but a full professional facial will increase blood flow, promote regular cell turnover, and boost collagen production —making it an effective anti-aging treatment. Since dead skin cells stay on one’s face anywhere from 45 to 90 days instead of the 30 days in youth, skin care experts recommend getting professional facials every 30 days to hold wrinkles and clogged pores at bay.

Facials are a significant way to alleviate stress, but they are so much more beneficial than simply pampering oneself. A full facial by a professional is advantageous because the aesthetician can pull out blackheads more safely and with less damage to the skin than if tried at home. Home products can only help to reduce clogged pores, and the professionals at Scott Talbot Salonspa in Akron and Canton have skilled methods that prepare and soften the skin so that the extraction of impurities isn’t harmful, which leads to smoother, brighter, and healthier skin. As a nice side benefit, dermaplaning also removes the vellus hair on the face, or peach fuzz. This hair can sometimes trap bacteria and oil, so this facial also reduces blemishes since it unclogs pores. This reveals a softer, smoother complexion on which make-up will apply nicely. Many people have heard old wives’ tale with the thinking that facial hair will grow back thicker if it is removed and a woman can grow a beard, but that is a myth. Vellus hair is soft and will only grow back at the thickness and consistency at which it initially grew.

Individuals in and around Massillon, Ohio, and Canton, Ohio, wanting to unclog their pores or are looking for an anti-aging treatment can visit the experienced aestheticians at Scott Talbot Salonspa for dermaplaning. This skin exfoliation method can be performed by itself or in conjunction with a full facial to produce healthier and even-toned skin. Many beauty experts agree that having a professional facial is much more effective than using at-home products, because it can be catered to one’s specific skin type and cause less skin damage. This local beauty salon is a short drive from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and can assist anyone in reducing fine lines and finding healthier skin.
