Facials are a great way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, but you might worry that certain treatments could do more harm than good if you have sensitive skin.
While some treatments can be too harsh, the right facial, customized to your skin’s needs, can actually strengthen your skin barrier, reduce redness, and leave your complexion glowing.
Here at Ada Aesthetics Medispa, our team knows that med spa treatments for sensitive skin are more important now than ever before. As many as 70% of the global population has sensitive skin. That’s why we offer a variety of facials that are safe for sensitive skin here in Ada, Oklahoma.
Here’s what you need to know about sensitive skin and facials.
Sensitive skin can be easily triggered by harsh exfoliation, harsh extraction methods, strong chemicals, or overly aggressive treatments. This can result in redness, dryness, burning, or breakouts.
However, not all facials are damaging—many are designed to calm and nourish sensitive skin.
At ADA Aesthetics Medispa, we offer a range of facials that deliver results without irritating delicate skin. Here’s what we recommend:
These facials use gentle cleansers, serums, and masks packed with soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to restore moisture and reduce irritation.
We offer the HydraFacial ® — a pain-free hydrating facial that requires no downtime. Using a unique Vortex-Fusion delivery system, the HydraFacial system deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin in a soothing, non-invasive way.
This facial is perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin, because it infuses nourishing serums while extracting impurities with a vacuum rather than manually. In other words, you can get smooth skin and clear pores without the redness and irritation caused by traditional exfoliation methods.
After your HydraFacial, you can expect the hydration and smoothness to last 7+ days. These facials are so gentle, you can have one per month without any issues.
If you have sensitive skin and want an anti-aging facial, we may recommend the O2 Lift. This oxygen-infused facial delivers botanical extracts, antioxidants, and hydrating nutrients deep into your skin to brighten, plump, and restore a youthful appearance.
This facial enhances your skin’s natural defense system and helps to protect against environmental stressors that can trigger sensitivity.
Removing dead, dull skin makes your skin more vibrant, smoother, and even helps serums penetrate better, but not all exfoliating facials are suitable for sensitive skin. Exfoliating facials that rely on chemicals or harsh scrubs can leave your skin angry.
For those looking for gentle exfoliation, we’ve got good news. The Dermaplane Facial is a safe, non-invasive option.
Our expert estheticians use a sterile surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz"), leaving you with ultra-smooth and radiant skin. No harsh chemicals needed!
Note: If you have certain skin conditions like eczema, dermaplaning may not be right for you. Don’t worry — our team can recommend the right course of action.
Your skin’s needs change throughout the year — whether you have sensitive skin or not. Our seasonal facials are specifically designed to address your skin’s changing needs throughout the year.
Whether your skin needs extra hydration in winter or oil control in summer, we adjust our treatments to keep your complexion healthy and balanced.
If your skin is prone to irritation, be cautious with:
Let our team know if you know you have sensitivities or allergies to specific ingredients.
To make sure that you have the best experience at our med spa, follow these tips before your appointment:
Let us know about your skin concerns and sensitivities so we can customize your treatment. Tell us about your aesthetic goals, what ingredients trigger skin issues (if you know), and what your everyday skincare routine looks like.
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, or other intense treatments a few days before your facial.
Well-hydrated skin is more resilient and less likely to react negatively to treatments, so be sure to stay hydrated before your appointment.
Facials don’t have to be off-limits if you have sensitive skin, and our team can help you find the one that’s perfect for you.
