What Are Medical Grade Facials / Peels?

Just as a spa facial follows the general steps of cleansing, exfoliating, extracting, and hydrating, medical facials do the same. They are highly customizable and safe for all skin types. The end result is skin that feels soft and restored.

While spa facials mainly provide a massage that feels good and helps you relax, medical facials use medical-grade products and tools for greater effect. This allows the treatment to penetrate deeper and provide longer-lasting and more effective results.

How the Process Works

During your medical facial, our staff will follow the steps outlined above to replenish your skin. Depending on your specific needs, we may use a combination of modalities – such as incorporating microneedling or dermaplaning – to achieve the best results.

You can expect your medical facial to last about one hour, depending on the exact treatment you’re getting. You may be advised to rest for the remainder of the day. This, again, will reflect the exact procedure performed and the concentration of ingredients used. It is important that you follow all recommendations after the facial, including limiting sun exposure, to keep your skin healthy.

Medical Facial Options:

We don’t believe beauty is a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we provide several facial options for our patients. This allows us to choose the treatment most ideally suited to your skincare needs.

VI Peel Facials

The VI peel promotes cellular turnover in the face, which can in turn help with such skin problems as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Patients see a more radiant and youthful complexion within about a week.

Jet Peel Facials

You might think of this as a power wash for your face, designed to restore hydration using serum streams that shoot out of a high-pressure machine. Without causing damage or irritation, this process delivers serums deep below the surface of your skin. A jet peel is beneficial for people with extremely dry, sensitive, and/or acne-prone skin.

Decongesting Acne Facials

The purpose of a decongesting facial is to remove clogged sebum within the pores and eliminate blackheads. Extractions assist with this treatment, which is a painless way to clear acne and improve skin health.

Who Should Get Medical Facials?

Due to the customizable nature of medical facials, they are beneficial for almost anyone. We can work with you to address your specific skin needs and recommend a facial plan that will give you the glowing, beautiful skin you want.

If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, medical grade facials should be avoided. It is also important that people with extreme skin sensitivities, allergies, underlying health conditions, or medications discuss these issues with our office. We can then determine if a medical facial is right for you.
