Your skin doesn't only need some TLC. It also deserves proper attention for its overall health. That's why you should consider a medical grade facial.
At aspireMD, we are, first and foremost, medical professionals. We use the safest, most effective procedures and technologies to achieve your personal objectives. Each patient’s treatment plan is specific to their skin type, needs, and goals.
In this article, we'll explore how medical grade facials work, how they differ from spa facials and what they mean for you and your skin health.
What is a Medical Grade Facial?
A medical grade facial is a unique treatment done by highly skilled clinical experts with medical-grade skincare products and advanced techniques.
But what makes medical grade facials stand out from traditional spa facials?
For one, medical facials are better for dealing with deeper skin conditions, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. This is because these procedures are guided by physician-led protocols.
What are the Active Ingredients in a Medical Grade Facial?
- Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs): AHAs are water-soluble acids found naturally in sugary fruits and milk. Glycolic acid is a type of AHA. This is useful for exfoliation, which removes old and dull skin cells to make way for newer, evenly pigmented skin. Therefore, this component helps with dullness and uneven skin tone.
- Beta-hydroxy Acids (BHAs): BHAs are oil-soluble acids. This is useful for unclogging your skin pores deeper into hair follicles. This ingredient especially helps with acne and sun damage.
- Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): This goes even deeper into the skin layers and is useful for deep wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone.
- Hyaluronic Acid: As a naturally occurring ingredient, hyaluronic acid keeps your skin hydrated and plump.
- Vitamin A (Retinoids): This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
During your consultation, our clinical team will determine which treatment is best for you.
