european facial steps
At Revive, we use a European approach with our facials and think that all of the steps used are essential to getting amazing results. Below you can read what a facial at Revive might include.
We always start by taking a look at the skin under a bright light and a magnifying glass and do a small interview about home care routine and ask how the skin feels. This includes several questions about medication and supplements to see the condition of skin, what the skin needs, and what we could improve when it comes to home care. Then we will make final decision about which treatments should be performed.

Cleansing
This step is the best start to every facial. Cleansing prepares the skin for all the steps that are coming next. Depending on your skin type, we choose from several types of cleansers and toners specifically for you.
Exfoliation
Helps to remove the build up of dead skin, loosens up impurities, and clogging of pores. Different types of exfoliating products will be used depending on the level of sensitivity.
Cavitation Peel - uses clean water and an ultra sound wave to lift off debris, dead skin cells, and power wash your pores.
High Frequency Stimulation - refreshes the skin by disinfecting and killing bacteria without drying out the skin, stimulates cellular regeneration and collagen production, and helps with tired puffy eyes and dark circles.
Steam
This step can be used to open up the pores and allow for easier extractions or it can be used later during the massage to allow for better absorption of the products.
Aromatherapy can be added.
Manually extracting and deep cleansing pores.
