To Have a Facial or Not – That Is the Question

Many dermatologists will be up front with clients who request "anti-aging facials" and instead will offer fillers or Botox - both of which cost more than facials and both of which require regular maintenance for long term stabilizing anti-aging results.  Going to an aesthetician might be a good way to establish a skin care regimen that includes sun protection.  Dermatologists do suggest that a "one size fits all approach" is not the best way to get good skin care.  You should be assessed and then have products and skin care, even facials specifically tailored to your needs and skin conditions.  Otherwise you can actually end up with aggravated skin, acne or very sensitive skin that develops rashes and even hives from too many competing products
