A medical facial treatment typically begins with a comprehensive skin analysis, which can be tailored by a medical doctor to explore or seek to manage specific skin concerns. Medical facials are commonly used by individuals seeking a more targeted approach to skincare due to persistent concerns or issues with appearance.

Who Is A Medi Facial For?

Medical facials typically include deeper cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishment treatments compared to purely aesthetic facials. They are a skincare solution designed for individuals facing specific skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, or premature ageing.

1.Nd:YAG Laser Therapy

Nd:YAG lasers deliver a 1064nm wavelength of light that penetrates deep into the skin to destroy acne bacteria and shrink sebaceous glands to reduce oil. As the laser energy is delivered to each treatment area, you may feel a sensation equivalent to a rubber band lightly snapping on the skin.

This laser can also help in pigment clearing and stimulating collagen production.

2. IPL

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a broad-based non-invasive light therapy. This medical facial treatment uses broad wavelength light to encourage the regeneration of new skin tissue, which may help improve the appearance of sun and age spots, acne scars and rosacea. IPL is often combined with other facial treatment types to tackle more complex issues such as blemishes, acne, redness, or dull and uneven skin texture.

3. Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency is a non-surgical medical facial treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate dermal collagen production resulting in a reduction of the fine lines and tightening loose skin. It increases blood flow and thus boosts the oxygen level in the skin, giving the skin a smooth and radiant appearance. RF treatments can also help induce tissue re-modelling and production of new collagen and elastin, which helps restore even skin texture.

Do note that radiofrequency treatments are not suitable for skin with broken capillaries and rosacea.

4. Exfoliating / Chemical / Gentle Milk Peels

As we age, cell turnover occurs at a much slower rate. Medical peels are intended to help encourage active cell renewal by stimulating new skin cell production at the basal layers. This can help clarify oily skin, unclog and tighten pores, and give the skin a brighter and more vibrant appearance.

Ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) may be used in medical peel facials, in order to lighten scarring, even out skin texture, and tackle pigmentation. Individuals with sensitivity to AHAs and other strong active ingredients may not be suitable for medical peels, and should consult with a medical doctor to find out more.

5. Iontophoresis

Also known as a Galvanic Facial, iontophoresis involves passing a mild electric current through the skin to stimulate and rejuvenate skin cells. This is meant to encourage deep infusion of nutrients into the skin, with the aim of improving the quality and firmness of the complexion. Some aesthetic clinics may further customise this medi facial treatment through the use of targeted serums meant to lift, moisturise, desensitise, clarify, or whiten the skin.

6. Vitamin C Booster

Vitamin C has various benefits for the skin, including protecting against UV damage and environmental pollution and inhibiting melanin production, leading to pigmentation. Medical facials that utilise Vitamin C are typically intended to achieve a bouncy and even skin tone, with less visible dark eye circles and wrinkles. Vitamin C medi facials can also aid in healing acne scars, by promoting the regeneration of collagen and elastin.

7. LED Light Therapy

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are a non-surgical medi facial option that uses different light frequencies, such as blue and red LED lights, to penetrate your skin at different depths and target specific skin care needs.

Red LED lights are typically used for treating the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin. It can help stimulate collagen proteins, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as improving uneven skin tone. Red LED light can also reduce inflammation and improve circulation within the skin, for a range of effects.

Blue LED light therapy also helps to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. In addition, it can be used to target oil glands and reduce oil production activity, resulting in clearer complexion and acne.
