Facials

Medical-grade facials are advanced skin treatments that are performed in a medical or clinical setting, typically under the supervision of a licensed professional, such as a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or aesthetician. Unlike spa facials, medical-grade facials use more potent ingredients and advanced technologies to address deeper skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, or skin texture. These facials are customized to your specific skin type and concerns, making them more results-driven than traditional facials.

The key differences between medical-grade facials and regular facials are:

1. Ingredients: Medical facials use clinical-strength products that contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinoids, and antioxidants. These products can penetrate the skin more deeply, offering more significant results.
2. Technology: Advanced machines like the Aqua Spill, microdermabrasion devices, LED light therapy, or lasers are often incorporated into medical-grade facials. These devices can target specific concerns more effectively than manual techniques alone.
3. Customization: Medical-grade facials are tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Whether you have acne, rosacea, fine lines, or sun damage, the treatment plan will be customized to target these concerns.
4. Professional Oversight: These treatments are performed in a clinical setting, so they are overseen by licensed professionals. This ensures that stronger, more effective treatments can be used safely.

In contrast, regular spa facials are more focused on relaxation and general maintenance, using milder products and techniques. They’re great for pampering but may not offer the same level of targeted skin correction.

Medical-grade facials work by addressing both the surface and deeper layers of the skin using a combination of exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and infusion. Here’s how:

1. Cleansing & Exfoliation: The Aqua Spill machine uses a combination of gentle suction and a stream of water to cleanse your skin and exfoliate the top layer. This helps to remove impurities and dead skin cells that build up over time. You’ll feel a refreshing sensation as the machine works across your face.
2. Pore Extraction: The machine then goes deeper into your pores. Using a controlled suction, it draws out blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities that can clog your skin. This step is essential for giving your skin a clearer appearance.
3. Serum Infusion: The most exciting part is when the Aqua Spill machine infuses your skin with a customized serum. These serums can target different concerns like hydration, anti-aging, or brightening. Since your pores are deeply cleansed, they can absorb these beneficial ingredients more effectively.
4. Hydration & Protection: Finally, the treatment ensures your skin is deeply hydrated, which helps improve its texture and overall health. Your skin will look plumper, smoother, and more radiant. Plus, it’s a non-invasive and pain-free treatment, making it a relaxing experience with no downtime.

After a medical-grade facial, you can expect to see:

• Immediate Glow: Your skin will look more radiant, clean, and hydrated right after the treatment. You may notice a brighter, more even complexion.
• Minimal Redness: Depending on the intensity of the treatment, there could be slight redness, which usually fades within a few hours to a day.
• No Downtime: Most medical-grade facials, like those with Aqua Spill, are non-invasive and don’t require downtime, so you can resume your regular activities immediately. However, your skin may feel more sensitive for a day or two.
• Improved Skin Over Time: The benefits often improve over the next few days to weeks as your skin continues to absorb and respond to the treatment. If you’re treating specific conditions like acne or pigmentation, you’ll need multiple sessions to see the best results.

You should also follow post-care instructions, which may include avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products to maintain the results.

As a patient, you’ll leave feeling like your skin is deeply cleansed, hydrated, and glowing. It’s great for anyone looking to improve their complexion or maintain healthy, vibrant skin without harsher treatments.
