X | RATED FACIAL

The X | Rated Facial at Luminance is a meticulously crafted treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. Each step is crucial in achieving the best possible results.

Consultation and Skin Assessment

This initial stage involves a detailed examination of your skin. The specialist discusses your skin concerns, evaluates your skin type, and determines the most effective treatment approach. This personalized assessment ensures that the RF microneedling and exosome treatment aligns with your specific skin needs.

Cleansing

A crucial step that involves thoroughly cleaning the skin to remove any impurities, makeup, or oils. This ensures a clean canvas for the treatment, reducing the risk of irritation or infection.

Preparation and Anesthesia

A topical numbing cream is first applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. This step is essential for minimizing any discomfort or pain associated with the RF microneedling process.

RF Microneedling Procedure

Fine needles are gently pressed against the skin using a specialized device, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, including the production of collagen and elastin, critical components for skin firmness and elasticity.

Application of Exosomes

After RF microneedling, exosomes are applied directly to the treated skin. These exosomes penetrate the microchannels created by RF microneedling, delivering their regenerative properties deeply into the skin layers, which helps in enhanced healing and rejuvenation.

Post-Procedure Care

Following the treatment, specific aftercare instructions are provided. These often include guidelines on how to care for the skin, what products to use or avoid, and tips to maximize the benefits of the treatment.

To maximize the effectiveness of your facial, we recommend a simple routine leading up to your appointment.

Gentle Skincare

Switch to a gentler skincare routine in the weeks leading up to your facial. This means using products that are soothing and non-irritating. Look for cleansers, moisturizers and serums free from harsh chemicals, fragrances and alcohol. Products containing aloe vera, chamomile or hyaluronic acid are excellent choices as they calm and hydrate the skin without causing irritation.

Sun Protection

Sun exposure can damage skin, making it more sensitive to treatments. Use at least an SPF 30 sunscreen every day, reapplying as necessary, especially if you spend extended periods outdoors. Wear clothes that shade your skin, such as a wide-brimmed hat, especially during peak sun hours.

Hydration

Hydration is vital for maintaining healthy skin. Be sure to get in at least eight glasses of water daily and use hydrating skincare products with ingredients like glycerin, ceramides or hyaluronic acid, all of which help lock moisture into the skin.

Avoiding Certain Products

Starting a week before your appointment, avoid using skincare products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other strong exfoliants. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity, potentially leading to increased irritation during the facial.

Nourishing Diet

In addition to external skincare, your diet plays a crucial role in skin health. Focus on eating a balanced diet high in plants and whole grains. Foods rich in antioxidants protect your skin from damage and support natural repair mechanisms.

Embracing a holistic approach to beauty and wellness is key at Luminance. To maximize the benefits of your X | Rated Facials and maintain optimal skin health, it’s crucial to integrate these treatments with a lifestyle that supports overall well-being.

Balanced Diet

A healthy diet is pivotal for skin health. Focus on foods high in antioxidants like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables, which combat free radicals and aid skin repair. Vitamins A, C, and E in fruits and vegetables are essential for maintaining skin health and helping rejuvenate and heal.

Regular Exercise

Movement increases blood flow and nourishes skin cells by carrying oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. This circulation also helps remove waste products, including free radicals, from working cells, contributing to a healthier complexion.

Stress Management

Chronic stress can take a toll on your skin, leading to acne and premature aging. Practices like yoga, meditation, or even simple breathing exercises can significantly reduce stress levels, positively affecting skin health.

Hydration

Proper hydration is critical for maintaining optimal skin moisture, delivering essential nutrients to the skin cells, and enhancing skin elasticity. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water every single day to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Quality Sleep

During sleep, your body goes into repair mode, regenerating skin, muscles, blood and brain cells. Quality sleep helps reduce the signs of aging, maintain skin health and promote skin repair and regeneration.

Avoid Harmful Habits

Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption accelerate the aging process of your skin. They reduce the skin’s natural elasticity by breaking down collagen and restricting blood flow to the skin.

Regular Skincare Routine

A consistent, personalized skincare routine helps maintain your health and address specific concerns. This includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and treating the skin with the right products.

Sun Protection

Sun damage leads to premature aging, wrinkles and an increased risk of skin cancer. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even when cloudy, is crucial for protecting your skin.
