A medical-grade facial is designed to repair and restore your skin. It uses medical-grade skincare products and equipment to achieve a healthy look and feel. Also called a medi-facial, this treatment targets your specific skin challenges.
This includes fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots or pigmentation concerns, difficulties with texture and tone, rosacea and acne. Medical-grade facials may use IPL, chemical peels, LED blue light or brightening to greatly enhance and repair your skin.
A facial has a broad range of outstanding benefits.
A typical facial takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Your facial begins with a thoughtful consultation to determine the right products and treatments for your unique needs. A custom combination of advanced, medical-grade products is chosen for you. Your face will be cleansed and analyzed for imperfections and flaws.
Next, a thorough, gentle exfoliation process is performed to remove dead skin or a buildup of toxins. After the exfoliation process, heat wraps are applied to open the pores and soften the skin. Extraction is performed to remove blackheads. Masques are then applied to hydrate and enhance the skin.
Moisturizing and enriching products are massaged into the face to leave your skin glowing, smooth and radiant.
