Our completely-customized facial treatments are designed to treat your skin care concerns. Each medical facial is comprised of cleansing the skin, steam and one, two or three exfoliators. Extractions, CO2 and high frequency are performed when appropriate. The treatment is completed with a mask and relaxing massage of the face.
Each person’s experience can be different and is greatly dependent on your skin condition. Most find our medical facials to be an overall pampering experience. Depending on the blend of treatments performed during your medical facial, some experience mild tingling during the chemical peel, mild cool suction during the dermasweep, and gentle scraping during the dermplaning. There is also minor discomfort if and when extractions are performed.
Discontinue use of any topical retinoids (Retin-A, Tazorac, Differin, Ziana, Epiduo, Tretinoin, Clear Plus, Avene Retrinal or Triacneal, Triluma, etc.) and mechanical or granular exfoliation for five days prior to treatment. Avoid facial waxing for seven days prior to treatment.Follow the recommended skin care regimen as directed by your service provider for treatment. Make sure your skin is not irritated or inflamed before a peel.Please tell your provider if you have a history of cold sores as we recommend pretreatment to prevent a flare. Treatment may not be performed if there is an active cold sore.
Downtime is dependent on the type of treatment performed and how aggressive your treatment is.
Average skin requires regular exfoliation to maintain a bright complexion. For best accumulative results in skin changes, it is recommended that a medical facial be performed every four to six weeks.
Results will vary per patient and realistic expectations will be discussed during your first treatment. Having a good at home regimen will help attain optimum results. In addition, smoking, excessive alcohol and excessive sun exposure will limit results.
A facial can be customized for anyone and everyone!
“I admit I was not a firm believer of the effects a medical grade facial yielded until I experienced one for myself. I committed to one medical facial monthly for 3 consecutive months and I had never been so thrilled with how my skin appeared (and I have worked in a dermatology office or plastic surgeon office for the past 10 years). My skin was brighter, my texture was smooth, and my skin care products seemed to absorb more evenly which helped me to maintain my glow. I no longer perceive facials as just a pampering luxury. They are a crucial component to my skin regimen.”+ NT, age 31
