ASHEVILLE, N.C (828newsNOW) — For many people, taking care of their skin begins at home: cleansing, moisturizing, applying sunscreen and paying attention to changes. But professional skin-care treatments can complement that routine, providing services tailored to an individual’s complexion and concerns.

At Massage Envy Asheville, skin care is an important part of the services available alongside the customized massages many clients already know. Licensed Estheticians provide facials and advanced treatments designed to address concerns ranging from dryness and dullness to blemishes, uneven-looking skin tone and signs of aging.

And beginning in early October, the Asheville location is adding another option: Hydrafacial.

Why regular skin care matters

Skin is meant to last a lifetime, making consistent care more than a matter of preparing for a special occasion.

At Massage Envy Asheville, clients can consult with a Licensed Esthetician about their individual skin-care needs and an appropriate schedule for professional facials. While facial frequency is commonly around every four weeks, the right timing varies from person to person. Massage Envy offers additional information about how often to get a facial.

A professional facial can provide a periodic “reset” for the complexion. Depending on a client’s needs, regular facials can help with deep cleansing, hydration, clogged pores, firmness, discoloration and blemish-prone skin.

Massage Envy Asheville’s Concern Focused Facials begin with cleansing and steam, followed by a skin analysis, customized exfoliation, extractions as needed, a treatment mask and finishing treatment. The facials also include an upper-body massage, adding a relaxation component to the customized skin-care experience. Both 60- and 90-minute sessions are available, with the longer service providing additional time at each stage.

Clients can choose from Age-Defying, Clarifying, Brightening, Calming and Tone Balancing facials. The location’s facial services use products from Marini Skin Solutions and PCA SKIN.

Hydrafacial arrives in Asheville this October

The newest addition to the skin-care menu puts customization at the center of the experience.

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive hydradermabrasion treatment that uses patented vortex fusion technology and a specialized handheld wand. Through different tips and vacuum suction, the treatment gently exfoliates and removes impurities while delivering hydrating, personalized ingredients to the skin.

The six-in-one treatment cleanses, extracts and hydrates, incorporating personalized booster serums, hydration and moisturization. It is designed for all skin types and offers little or no downtime.

That personalization is particularly important because no two complexions — or skin-care goals — are exactly alike. Boosters can target specific concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, dull or dry skin, brightening and balancing the appearance of skin tone and texture. Additional options can focus on areas such as the eyes, lips and décolleté.

The Hydrafacial experience also incorporates red light therapy for an added relaxing and rejuvenating component.

Massage Envy Asheville will offer 30-minute and 60-minute Hydrafacial sessions. Clients can see a glow after one treatment, with enhanced results possible through a personalized treatment series.

More ways to customize a skin-care routine

Hydrafacial joins an already broad selection of advanced skin-care services at Massage Envy Asheville.

Dermaplaning combines professional skin-care products with physical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and fine “peach fuzz” hair, leaving skin feeling fresher and smoother.

Professional chemical peels featuring PCA SKIN provide deep exfoliation with little to no downtime. Massage Envy Asheville offers a variety of peel options based on individual skin concerns, with a range of strengths that allows Licensed Estheticians to select a treatment according to a client’s skin type and needs.

Microderm Infusion uses the DiamondGlow wand’s three-in-one technology to exfoliate, extract and hydrate. Infusion serums and diamond tips are selected according to the client’s skin concerns.

The location also offers an Oxygenating Treatment as well as red light therapy using an anti-aging LightStim Pro Panel. The treatment uses light wavelengths to help address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and support a more rejuvenated-looking complexion.

Together, those options give clients an opportunity to work with a Licensed Esthetician to build a professional skin-care routine around their own goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

With Hydrafacial arriving in early October, Asheville-area clients will soon have another way to give their skin some dedicated attention — whether they’re beginning a professional skin-care routine or adding something new to an established one.
