Common skin problems
Here are some skin conditions that often affect your face:
- Dry skin: skin that is dry or cracked is often symptomatic of several different problems, such as dermatitis, dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, and diabetes
- Rosacea: this is a chronic condition that comes and goes, with signs like red bumps, sensitive skin, facial flushing, and dryness
- Acne: one of the most common skin problems, it’s often caused by blocked pores and causes pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, redness, cysts, and nodules
- Psoriasis: this condition causes silvery, scaly, defines plaques of skin, itchiness, and may be asymptomatic at times
- Hyperpigmentation: darkening of the skin that can result from sun damage, hormonal changes, and some medications
- Fine line wrinkles: often something we start to see as we get older, but can also be brought on by sun damage

How often you should get them
The short answer is it depends on what type of facial you’re getting and if a specific condition is being treated. Most facials will leave your skin sensitive for the first few hours after treatment,and facials for medical conditions can leave it red and irritated for a few days. Following your aftercare instructions will be crucial in getting best results, and the length of time between treatments will vary. Expect to have treatments monthly, with possible adjustments based on your individual needs.
Facials can make a world of difference when it comes to self esteem and healthy skin, and if you’re ready to find the treatment that suits your needs, make an appointment with Dr. Zelaya and his team at Skinworks Dermatology today.
