Does getting a facial hurt?
Does getting a facial hurt? Generally, getting a facial doesn’t hurt, but it can be slightly uncomfortable depending on the type of treatment. Here are some parts of a facial that might cause mild discomfort:
Extraction:
Removing blackheads and clogged pores can cause some discomfort, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Peels or Exfoliation:
Chemical peels and exfoliants might cause tingling or a mild burning sensation, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
High-Frequency Treatment:
Some facials use high-frequency devices, which might feel like a slight electrical zap.
Most facials are designed to be relaxing, and estheticians will usually adjust the intensity based on your pain tolerance and skin type. Letting them know if something is too painful will help them tailor the experience to your comfort.
