What is a Medical Grade Facial?
Medical facials are a safe and effective way of complementing other noninvasive treatments such as Botox, injectable dermal fillers, or laser resurfacing, or even maintaining or improving skin quality and pigmentation in the absence of any other treatment in both men and women. Our facial treatment can also help prepare your skin for treatment and improve results after the treatment, especially with laser procedures. The treatments are administered by a medical aesthetician trained in advanced skin care.
The main difference between a medical facial and a Classic European or spa is the use of medical-grade products and more advanced chemical peels.
Medical Facials are custom-tailored to your skin’s needs and generally follow the same steps as a spa facial—cleansing, exfoliating away dead skin cells, extracting, and moisturizing—but on a more intense level.
Who is a candidate?
Men and women of all ages and skin types can benefit from medical-grade treatments due to the fact they are customized to the individual. Women who are trying to become pregnant, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, will not be able to use retinoids or receive peels but can still receive the other components of the facial. Men with significant facial hair will have a more limited treatment area. Most patients will find that keeping with a consistent schedule of medical facials, such as on a monthly basis, will see the best results from treatment and J Sweat Plastic Surgery offers several different loyalty plans to encourage and reward regular visits.
