FAQ’s About Galvanic Facials By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
What is galvanic current?
It is a steady, direct stream of electric current. The current is very low and causes a slight tingling sensation. It is not at all painful.
How long has galvanic current been used in the aesthetic industry?
About 100 years ago, galvanic current was successfully used to force water-soluble substances through the skin. The skincare industry began using it with excellent results about 70 years ago, and continues to use it today.
How is it used in facials?
Galvanic current pushes water-soluble ingredients down into the three layers of your skin, not just one, as with most traditional facials. These deeper layers love it because products rarely get a chance to reach this far below the skin’s surface. The outcome is two-fold. The current “awakens” and stimulates collagen and elastin to produce younger, firmer looking skin, and results are longer lasting.
I’ve thought about facial fillers but don’t really like the idea of needles. Could galvanic facials help?
Yes! Collagen and elastin slow down as we age. Galvanic current stimulates both fibers, waking them up, you might say, so that they start producing more. That means tighter, firmer skin.
What kinds of chemicals are used in galvanic facials?
None! There are no toxins and no harsh chemicals in a galvanic facial. We use water-soluble ingredients because Mother Nature is the most powerful anti-aging advocate we have!
Are galvanic facials painful?
Not in the least! You might feel a slight tingling sensation, but that’s all. It’s an extremely relaxing experience.
What kind of results can I expect with a galvanic facial?
Because galvanic facials use a low-level current that reaches into all three layers of your skin, results are not only immediate they are longer lasting, with continued results for weeks after your facial. And, if you also use our professional skincare line, Elemis, those results will be enhanced because it is an active, potent line.
What skin types can benefit from galvanic facials?
All skin types can safely use and benefit from this incredible facial, including sensitive! Excellent for oily, combination, dry and mature, galvanic facials are customized for each individual skin type.
What about acne? Can galvanic facials help with it?
Yes, for those with mild to moderate cases of acne, galvanic facials are great! Galvanic current softens blackheads, which makes them much easier and less painful to extract. They also remove blockages like whiteheads and clear congestion that leads to acne.
How often should I get a galvanic facial?
We recommend every 4-6 weeks. The deeper layers of your skin will continue to be stimulated, producing more collagen and elastin to counteract sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Monthly facials continue to enhance the effectiveness of your skincare products.

How To Get Your Skin To Take A Deep Breath! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Sun, fun, and getting tipsy are all part of the summer time. That also means it places additional stress on your skin.
Dehydration, dead skin build up and breakouts can be particularly troublesome causing your skin to lose its glow, and dare we say, add a few lines and wrinkles?
Well, we can’t let a fun time of year do that! First, we recommend that you take time to breathe! Stress can cause you to breathe very shallow, and that means dull skin.
Next, get a series of facials that infuse oxygen into your skin. This little miracle worker works wonders!
Oxygen fights those nasty free radicals that sun exposure, stress, and aging produce. It also plumps up your skin so that it looks and feels smoother.
Our oxygen facials also infuse your skin with vitamins and minerals, which help to protect and actually improve the look of your skin.
While on the beach or by the pool, enjoy it with antioxidant, sunscreen protection, and a hat please.
Then schedule regular oxygen facials to counteract the sun’s aging effects. (There’s absolutely no reason to look like a prune face!)
These remarkable treatments book up quickly so don’t wait–book now!

7 Secrets That Are Okay To Tell Your Aesthetician By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
“I just want a facial,” the woman said with irritation. “I don’t know why you need to know that.”
And there you have it. The universal challenge of every aesthetician on planet Earth: helping clients understand that facials are much more than a “feel good, look good” treatment.
Facials work with the largest organ of your body: the skin. Every medication you take as well as your lifestyle choices—even your emotions—are filtered through your skin.
That’s why aestheticians ask those pesky questions! The better she understands you, the better she understands your skin and how to treat it.
So without further adieu, here are 7 questions that signal you’re working with a professional:
– What’s your at-home skin care routine?
– What prescription medications are you taking? Any topicals like Retin A?
– Any health problems?
– Any adverse reactions to products or ingredients?
– Your lifestyle: Do you smoke? If so, how much? Do you eat a lot of processed foods?
– When was the last time you had a facial?
– Are you currently seeing a dermatologist?
There you have it. Seven questions that signal you’re working with a professional.
And remember, even if your esthetician has been working with you for a long time, she will still want to be updated on any changes to your health.

Telltale Signs Of Over-The-Hill By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
There was a woman who was so insecure without her make-up, she would cover her face and run to the bathroom after a facial.
No joke. And to make matters worse, the make-up she wore was heavy and obvious. That’s not good at any age. But at her age, it was worse!
As we get older, we sometimes get stuck in…well, old patterns. We still feel the same but our bodies have changed. Hate that, don’t you?
Here are three telltale mistakes that signal somebody’s stuck in a flashback:
– Ring around the face make-up. Wearing the wrong shade of make-up that ends in a ring under the chin. Make-up should always blend flawlessly with your skin tone.
– The cosmetic counter look. Too much make-up is often worn to hide facial imperfections and to cover a poor self-esteem. Unfortunately, overdone is, well, overdone.
– Trying to look way younger than you are. Yes, most of us mourn the loss of our youth, too. But sporting very young fashion make-up trends won’t bring it back. It will only draw attention to the grieving process!
Instead, consider corrective facials. Take the work out of getting ready in the mornings. Let facials and other medical treatments work for you.
And get a make-up consult for an updated look. You’ll love how young you feel!
