Long fingernails, prices that are too good to be true and other red flags to avoid.
“The saying ‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be any truer when it comes to getting a facial. You cannot find a microdermabrasion or microneedling treatment for $50 unless the technician has re-used the same tip on multiple people. Doing this can pose a serious health risk. Personally, I have seen an aesthetician microneedle two people with the same microneedle tip — this is how one can spread viruses.
If you have implanted medical devices such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, and someone goes to use a microcurrent treatment on you, you are in a serious situation because that is a contraindication for treatment. Also, if you are pregnant or actively trying to become pregnant, ingredients like salicylic acid or retinol cannot be used, and that is just to name a few.
“If your facial involves extreme heat, you are in trouble. The water, the towels and the steam should all be cool to lukewarm. Extreme heat applied to the skin only causes damage like broken blood vessels, broken tissue and inflammation. Hot water can also dry out and crack the skin, and can pull hydration from your natural skin barrier. Even worse, if the facial is followed by heavy exfoliation, this can further exacerbate this situation.
“Your aesthetician should never start your facial by doing extractions. You should expect to be double cleansed at the very least before you start the extraction portion of your facial if that is something you requested. This is because you should first have any makeup or sunblock removed, and then a second cleanser applied to cleanse the top layer of skin and prepare it for extractions.
