Are all facials the same? With the number of facials offered within reach and the promise of umbrella do-it-all treatments, it's easy to lump facials into one and believe that it all works the same.
A lot of these facials, for the most part, do their work. If facials you see promise cleansing, they'll likely help you clear out dead skin cells and visible manifestations of build-up. If that's what you're looking for, your regular, consistent facials might be the best fit for you. However, if you're looking for ways to achieve skin goals that seem more deep-rooted than that, then laser facials might be the answer.
What's deep within our skin & how do laser facials come in?

Our skin is made up of different layers, and often what concerns us about our skin is what we can immediately see on the surface. This is why our immediate go-to's for congestion and any visible build-up of dead skin cells are our regular, pricking facials (although we have good reasons why you should skip the prick for a facial you're more deserving of.) To an extent, it will help if you're looking for a way to improve overall skin health, but skin goals and needs like acne marks, texture, uneven skin pigmentation, lines, and pores might call for something that goes way deeper.
Laser facials help in a way that it could either induce or boost skin healing to resurface less textured & scarred skin. It could also work its way within the layers of your skin to lift skin pigment in a way that regular facials couldn't. On its way, it could also boost your collagen production— a necessary factor in making sure your skin stays healthy. By giving a boost to skin processes that work beyond what we can see on the surface, we make sure our skin not only looks like it's progressing. We also make sure we give the support it needs to usher in healthier skin processes.
