How Do Facials Work?
Facials are a comprehensive skincare treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin. The process typically begins with a deep cleansing to remove dirt and impurities, followed by exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells. This helps to refresh and brighten the skin’s surface.
Depending on your skin type and concerns, extractions may be performed to clear blocked pores, and a mask or treatment is applied to target specific issues like dryness, acne, or aging.
Finally, the skin is moisturized and protected with SPF to maintain hydration and shield from sun damage. Facials help improve skin texture, reduce blemishes, and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion.
Benefits of Facials
Here are some key benefits you can expect from professional facials:
- Deep Cleansing and Clearer Skin
Facials deeply cleanse the skin, removing dirt, oil, and impurities that clog pores and cause breakouts. This helps to prevent blemishes while maintaining clear skin.
- Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing smoother and more even skin. Regular facials improve texture and tone, addressing rough patches and post-acne marks.
- Hydration and Youthful Glow
Facials provide essential hydration, leaving the skin plump, fresh, and glowing. Hydrating treatments restore balance, especially for dry or dehydrated skin.
- Non-Invasive with No Downtime
Facials are non-invasive and require little to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities right after treatment.
- Prevention of Future Skin Issues
Facials help prevent future skin problems by regularly cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin, reducing the buildup of impurities.
- Affordable Skincare Solution
Facials are a cost-effective option for maintaining healthy skin, providing visible results without the need for more expensive or invasive procedures.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Facial?
Facial treatments at Hampstead Aesthetics are designed to provide a relaxing, rejuvenating experience while delivering visible, long-lasting results.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during your treatment:
1. Initial Consultation
Before beginning the facial treatment, you’ll have a brief consultation with one of our expert aestheticians. This will involve a discussion about your skin type, any specific concerns, and your treatment goals. Based on this, the facial will be customized to address your individual needs.
2. Cleansing
The treatment begins with a thorough cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin. This step ensures that your skin is properly prepped for the rest of the facial and helps to unclog pores, allowing the treatment to work more effectively.
3. Exfoliation
After cleansing, your skin will undergo exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, which can make your complexion look dull. Depending on your skin type, we may use gentle exfoliating products or advanced tools like a microdermabrasion device or chemical peel.
This process helps reveal smoother, fresher skin and enhances the absorption of products applied later.
4. Extraction (if necessary)
If needed, extractions are performed to clear clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads. This step is particularly beneficial for those with acne-prone skin. Our experienced aestheticians will perform extractions gently, ensuring minimal discomfort and preventing future breakouts.
5. Mask Application
A mask is then applied to address your skin’s specific needs. Whether it’s for hydration, brightening, or anti-aging, the mask is tailored to target your skin concerns and deliver maximum benefits. During this time, you can relax as the mask works its magic.
6. Massage
Many of our facials include a relaxing facial massage to stimulate blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and improve overall skin health. This also helps you unwind and enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.
7. Final Products and Protection
To finish the facial, we apply moisturizers, serums, and SPF (if necessary) to hydrate and protect your skin. The products used will be selected to address your specific skin concerns, ensuring long-lasting results. Your skin will feel refreshed, hydrated, and protected, ready to face the day.
8. Post-Treatment Care
After the facial, our team will provide you with aftercare advice to ensure that your skin continues to look its best. This may include product recommendations for home use and tips to maintain your results.
Depending on the type of facial you had, there may be no downtime, or you might experience slight redness or sensitivity, especially after treatments like extractions or chemical peels.
Facial Treatment: Risks and Aftercare
Facials are generally safe, but like any skincare treatment, they can have some side effects. Here’s what you need to know:
Potential Risks of Facials
Skin Sensitivity:
After treatments like exfoliation or extractions, your skin may feel sensitive or appear red. This typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days.
Breakouts:
Some people may experience mild breakouts after extractions or deep cleansing as impurities are brought to the surface. These should clear up in a few days.
Allergic Reactions:
In rare cases, reactions to products used during the facial may occur. Let your aesthetician know if you have known sensitivities.
Hyperpigmentation:
Chemical peels or aggressive treatments can sometimes cause dark spots, especially in individuals with sensitive or darker skin.
Aftercare for Facial Treatments
Avoid Sun Exposure:
Your skin may be more sensitive after a facial. Use SPF 30+ and avoid direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
Skip Harsh Skincare:
Avoid strong exfoliants, retinols, or products with active ingredients for 48 hours post-treatment.
Hydrate:
Drink plenty of water and use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Gentle Cleansing:
Use a mild cleanser and avoid scrubbing your face for at least 48 hours.
Avoid Touching Your Face:

FAQs About Facials at Hampstead Aesthetics
Are facials safe?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. A numbing cream can be applied to the area before the injections, but most patients report only a mild pinching sensation during the treatment. The entire process usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
How long does a facial treatment take?
Facial treatments typically last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of facial and the specific needs of your skin. Our team will ensure the treatment is comfortable and effective, with minimal disruption to your schedule.
How often should I get a facial?
For optimal results, facials are usually recommended every 4-6 weeks. This helps to maintain healthy skin, as it allows for regular exfoliation and replenishment of moisture. However, the frequency can vary depending on your skin’s needs and treatment goals.
When will I start seeing results?
Many clients notice an immediate improvement in skin radiance and hydration following their facial. For more significant changes, such as reduction in fine lines or acne, it may take a few sessions. Long-term improvements in skin texture and tone generally appear after several treatments.
Are there any side effects?
Facials are generally safe, but some mild side effects may occur, such as redness or slight sensitivity, particularly after treatments like extractions or chemical peels. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a day.
Can facials treat acne?
Yes, facials can help treat acne by deeply cleansing the skin, removing excess oil, and reducing inflammation. Our Acne Clear Facial, for example, includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, and LED light therapy to target acne and prevent future breakouts.
Can I wear makeup after a facial?
It’s recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after a facial, especially if your skin has undergone exfoliation or extractions. Giving your skin time to breathe will help maintain the benefits of the facial.
