As a practicing esthetician, one question I get asked by many clients after receiving one of my facial treatments is simply: how long will the results last?
The healthy glow immediately achieved following a facial should last typically 48 to 72 hours, as the skin is deeply hydrated and circulation has been boosted allowing fresh blood to bring new nutrients to the cells. But the long-term benefits of a facial are its ability to impact cellular regeneration, a process that occurs over 28 to 45 days. Because daily care is synergistic with a professional regimen to achieve ongoing benefits, a facial should be scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks, removing dead skin cells and allowing the skin to be cleared of impurities.
