A medical facial, also referred to as “medi facial” is a skincare regimen intended to target underlying concerns and support existing medical aesthetic treatments. While standard facials concentrate on surface-level cleansing and relaxation, medi facials go a step further by looking at deeper factors affecting the skin’s condition.
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.
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.
Medi facials are beneficial to individuals with acne and inflammation, but can also help with issues related to sensitive skin, inflammation, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. While a medical facial should always be customised to suit your unique skin type and needs, here are some steps you can expect during a typical medi facial process:
Consult with our doctors for an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.

Yes, a medical facial is suitable for sensitive skin and can be customised to suit an individual’s unique skin type and needs. Medi facials for sensitive skin can help with improving skin hydration to lessen irritation, reducing redness and inflammation, and assisting in recovery and protection from sun or UV damage.
However, it’s crucial to consult with a medical doctor beforehand to assess your individual suitability, or to address potential causes for sudden onset sensitive skin. A qualified doctor will be able to assess your symptoms and subsequently recommend a treatment plan using hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic products if necessary. Additionally, always disclose your skin history and any allergies or sensitivities prior to the facial treatment to ensure the proper ingredients and treatment options can be utilised.
Generally, medical facials are suitable for individuals with acne, including teenagers and adults. It’s essential to consult your doctor ahead of time for an accurate assessment of suitability for medi facials based on age, skin type, and medical history.
Yes, pre-treatment instructions for medical facials include avoiding direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least a week prior to your appointment. It is also crucial to keep your skin well-hydrated and steer clear of aggressive skin exfoliation techniques like scrubs or at-home peels. The medical doctor performing the treatment may also provide personalised guidelines tailored to your skin’s specific needs.
The frequency of medical facials depends on the individual as it takes into account factors such as your skin type, specific concerns, and the treatment plan outlined. For general skin maintenance, your doctor may suggest a monthly session. However, if you’re dealing with particular skin issues, more frequent treatments may be proposed initially to work towards improving your skin condition.
Yes, medical facials may be combined with other aesthetic procedures such as chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling radiofrequency to better address specific skin concerns. It is imperative to consult a medical doctor ahead of time to ascertain your suitability for these treatments. They can accurately assess your skin’s condition, needs, and tolerance levels to ensure a safe and effective combined treatment, thereby minimising the risk of complications.
It is generally advised to avoid applying makeup immediately after a medical facial to minimise any potential adverse reactions, as well as to allow your skin to recover from potential redness or irritation. Wearing makeup right away may clog pores, hinder the absorption of beneficial ingredients, and may cause irritation. Most healthcare professionals will advise waiting at least 24 hours before using any makeup products.
Some gentler types of medi facials, like hydrating or anti-ageing rejuvenation facials, may be less likely to irritate the skin. In these cases, individuals may be able to wear makeup within 24 hours from the treatment if no signs of irritation or redness are present. However, you should always use gentle, non-comedogenic products, and avoid harsh or exfoliating products until your skin is fully recovered from the medi facial. Any makeup applied should also be thoroughly removed prior to bedtime.
