Blood Analysis for Oily Skin

Blood analysis is a laboratory examination of a sample of blood extracted from someone that is aimed at obtaining information about its physical and chemical properties. Through blood analysis, we are able to check hundreds of different blood parameters in order to assess for imbalances and then treat these imbalances, and these properties in the blood can reveal many underlying causes of conditions. Androgen hormones are responsible for the overproduction of sebum, and oily skin will give off a higher level of androgen hormones, which can readily be detected through blood analysis. If these results are reflected in the blood test, we can then accommodate a plan to treat these conditions and prevent oily skin from reoccurring. 

Facials

Facials are cleaning treatments that aim to clean pores and exfoliate the skin. This is a multi-step process that is meant to rejuvenate and nourish faces, making skin appear healthier and younger by cleaning and removing the debris, dirt, or bacteria build-up under the skin. Common problems such as milia, blackheads, and whiteheads are treated by extraction facials. Each facial begins with a consultation to help the dermatologist assess the skin and the best treatment for it. Facial steps can vary in many clinics, but generally, they include these five basic steps of cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, massage, and masks. Cleansing is as straightforward as it sounds where they clean the face. This step is also an assessment where it will help them determine what kind of custom mask to apply later. Exfoliation involves removing all the dead skin cells in the face by using cream or scrubs. Extraction is the process where pores are cleaned especially when they become clogged with excess oil and dirt build-up. Massage will then follow which is aimed to relax the patient and improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Lastly, masks will then be placed to temporarily treat the oiliness or dryness of the skin.
