While most aesthetic practices focus on EBD’S, peels and injectables, facials mostly take a back seat. However, facials should be considered essential on the menu as they highly complement the results of other therapies. Here are some of the most popular ones to acquaint yourself with!
A medical facial is a customized facial wherein an aesthetic consultant does a thorough skin assessment and formulates a face therapy or facial. Suitable for a variety of skin types, facial treatments improve the appearance of several skin concerns like acne, acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin firmness, skin texture, congestion, and comedones. In general, there are some steps in a classic facial including cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, massage, and packs. They are helpful in improving glow, clarity, and hydration.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL AND AESTHETIC FACIALS
The primary difference between these two treatments is that medical facials are performed in a physician’s office using medical-grade products and tools. The overall results therefore appear more effective. A medical facial is also generally performed by a skin therapist. They will cleanse, do comedone extraction, exfoliate, and replenish your skin using a combination of modalities such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Additional treatments including microcurrent, LED light therapy, ultrasound, intense pulsed light (IPL), radio frequency, or microneedling may also be incorporated.
