Medifacials

What is a medifacial ?

A medifacial is a combination of medicine and a facial that deeply cleans, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin and is beyond regular salon facials. Medifacials are also used to treat specific skin conditions or concerns such as acne , pigmentation, dull dry looking skin, sun damage and ageing to give better and long lasting results.


A Medifacial is performed by a dermatologist who understands your skin well and treats it the way it has to be treated

Common Steps:


1. Assessment - Your skin is first evaluated to address any skin concerns and and an appropriate medifacial is chosen.

2. Cleansing - we first cleanse the skin with non-irritating cleaners to remove any dust or makeup.

3. Ultrasonic skin scrubber- helps to clean the skin by removing dirt and dead cells.

4. Exfoliate, Extract and hydrate - a specialized machine called Diamond hydramicrodermabrasion is used to remove the dead skin cells from the epidermis. It combines the power of suction and diamond tips to remove impurities from the pores and exfoliate the skin without making it dry. A high velocity jet stream of oxygen and specialised solutions is used to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and oxygenate the skin, promoting a refreshed look.

5. Treat – based on your individual skin concerns, be it acne, pigmentation, dull dehydrated skin and aging, we pick the best medical grade treatments to treat your concerns. For example comedone extraction, chemical peels, carbon application, laser toning, LED light therapy, RF tightening, microneedling and PRP.

6. Nourish and hydrate - skin is massaged with a soothing cream to heal any irritated parts and lastly a facemask is applied to re-energize the skin even further.

Post procedure:


Medifacials are painless non invasive procedures with No to minimal downtime. Mild redness or wheals (red bumps) might be seen which reduces in a few hours to a day.


What to expect during procedure?


Medifacials take about 45 mins to 90 mins depending on the type of medifacial chosen. Microdermabrasion,chemical peel and laser toning gives a warm to hot sensation or stinging sensation during the procedure that is usually tolerable and settles within a few mins to a day.


Results:


You can expect glowing, smooth and rejuvenated skin soon after the session which improves further 48-72hrs. Within 28 to 48 days you can get long-term benefits due to cell regeneration. Reduction in acne, even complexion and smoother skin improve gradually with each session.


How often:


If you are looking for a rejuvenated glowing skin before an event then a single session might be enough. However if you have acne or pigmentation issues then multiples sessions at an interval of 4-6 weeks might be required.
