Advantages of Medical Facial

Medical facials are tailored to address specific skincare concerns and goals, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, or sensitive skin. Skincare professionals can customize the treatment plan and select appropriate products and techniques based on individual skin types and conditions.
Medical facials often incorporate high-quality, medical-grade skincare products and machines are formulated and designed to target specific skin issues effectively and deliver visible results.
Medical facials are performed by licensed skincare professionals including estheticians, or medical aestheticians, who have undergone extensive training and have in-depth knowledge of skincare principles and techniques. Their expertise ensures safe and effective treatment outcomes.
Medical facials typically include thorough cleansing of the skin to remove dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities, which can clog pores and contribute to acne breakouts and dullness. Deep cleansing helps promote clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Medical facials often incorporate exfoliation techniques, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or dermaplaning, to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate cell turnover. Exfoliation helps improve skin texture, tone, and clarity, revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin.
Medical facials may include hydrating and nourishing treatments, such as moisturizing masks, serums, or infusions, to replenish lost moisture, restore skin barrier function, and improve overall hydration levels. Hydrated skin appears plump, smooth, and youthful.
Medical facials can be beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin, as they often include targeted treatments to control excess oil production, reduce inflammation, and unclog pores.

They may include treatments like collagen-stimulating peptides, growth factors, or radiofrequency technology to promote collagen production, improve skin firmness, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, making them convenient options for busy individuals.it is strongly recommended to have a medical facial session before other aesthetic treatments like fillers, skin boosters or mesotherapy

Medical Facial Pre-Treatments

Pre-treatment care is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of a medical facial. Here are some pre-treatment guidelines to consider before undergoing a medical facial:

Consultation with a skincare professional: Schedule a consultation with a licensed esthetician, dermatologist, or skincare professional who specializes in medical facials. During the consultation, discuss your skincare concerns, goals, and any medical conditions or allergies you may have.
Provide a comprehensive medical history: Be prepared to provide a comprehensive medical history, including any past skincare treatments, medications, allergies, and skin sensitivities. This information will help your skincare professional customize the treatment plan and select appropriate products and techniques.
Discontinue certain skincare products: Avoid using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), benzoyl peroxide, and other potentially irritating or sensitizing skincare products for at least one week before your medical facial. These products can increase skin sensitivity and may cause irritation during the treatment.
Avoid sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure and tanning bed use in the days leading up to your medical facial. Sunburned or excessively tanned skin is more prone to irritation and may not respond well to certain facial treatments.
Discontinue certain medications: If you’re taking oral retinoids, such as isotretinoin (Accutane), or oral antibiotics for acne, your skincare professional may recommend discontinuing these medications for a specified period before your medical facial. These medications can increase skin sensitivity and may interfere with certain facial treatments.
Stay hydrated: Maintain adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your medical facial. Hydrated skin is more receptive to treatment and is less likely to experience dryness or irritation.
Avoid waxing or chemical peels: Refrain from waxing, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other invasive skincare procedures for at least one week before your medical facial. These treatments can sensitize the skin and may increase the risk of adverse reactions during the facial.
Communicate any concerns: If you have any specific concerns or questions about the medical facial procedure, be sure to communicate them with your skincare professional during the consultation or before the treatment begins. Your skincare professional can address your concerns and ensure that you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Arrive with clean skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Remove all makeup, sunscreen, and skincare products before the facial to allow for thorough cleansing and preparation of the skin.
Follow any specific instructions: Your skincare professional may provide you with specific pre-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs and the type of facial you’ll be receiving. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome and minimize the risk of complications.

By following these pre-treatment guidelines and communicating openly with your skincare professional, you can help ensure a safe and successful medical facial experience with optimal results.

Medical Facial Post-Treatments

Post-treatment care is crucial to maximize the benefits of a medical facial and promote skin healing. Here are some post-treatment care guidelines to follow after a medical facial:

Follow specific instructions: Your skincare professional will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions tailored to your individual needs and the type of facial you received. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and maximize the results of the facial.
Avoid touching your face: Refrain from touching or rubbing your face immediately after the facial to prevent transferring bacteria from your hands to your skin. Touching your face can also irritate the skin, especially if it’s sensitive after the treatment.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days following the facial to help hydrate your skin from the inside out. Proper hydration supports skin healing and can help maintain the results of the facial.
Avoid sun exposure: Protect your skin from sun exposure in the days following the facial, as it may be more sensitive to UV rays. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
Limit strenuous activities: Avoid vigorous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 24 to 48 hours after the facial. These activities can increase blood flow to the face and may cause irritation or sensitivity to the treated skin.
Use gentle skincare products: Avoid using harsh or abrasive skincare products, such as exfoliants, retinoids, or products containing alcohol, immediately after the facial. Stick to gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen to soothe and protect the skin.
Moisturize regularly: Apply a hydrating moisturizer to your skin regularly in the days following the facial to help soothe and hydrate the skin. Look for moisturizers containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides to help replenish and repair the skin barrier.
Avoid makeup: Refrain from wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the facial to allow your skin to breathe and recover. If makeup is necessary, choose lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that won’t clog pores or irritate the skin.
Attend follow-up appointments: Schedule and attend any follow-up appointments with your skincare professional as recommended. These appointments allow your provider to assess your skin’s response to the facial, address any concerns you may have, and adjust your skincare regimen as needed.
Be patient: Give your skin time to adjust and heal after the facial. It’s normal to experience some mild redness, sensitivity, or peeling, depending on the type of facial you received. These side effects typically subside within a few days, leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

By following these post-treatment care guidelines and adhering to your skincare professional’s instructions, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and maximize the results of your medical facial.
