What is a
medical facial?

A facial here starts where spa menus end. Instead of a fixed sequence of pleasant steps, your licensed esthetician analyzes your skin and builds the treatment around what it actually needs that day.

The tools are clinical: medical-strength exfoliants, professional extractions done properly, and active serums from lines like DefenAge, Obagi, and ISDIN that only medical practices carry.

It is still an hour of care that feels wonderful. It simply ends with skin that measurably improved, not just skin that got attention — and most skin holds that improvement best on a monthly rhythm.

Every facial protocol at Skin Med Spa is built under medical oversight, so relaxing and effective stop being a choice.

Skin changes with seasons, stress, and hormones. Your facial changes with it.

Medical-grade products work at concentrations retail skincare is not allowed to touch.

Congestion cleared safely by trained hands, without the scarring DIY attempts risk.

Monthly facials protect the investment your lasers and injectables have already made.

When drugstore routines hit their ceiling, clinical skincare raises it.

Good skin is mostly consistency with the right ingredients. Your esthetician builds both: the in-office treatments and the simple home routine that holds the line between them.

Your Routine Stopped Working

Skin that plateaued on retail products usually needs clinical concentrations, not more steps.

Congestion Keeps Returning

Blackheads and closed comedones need professional extraction, not stronger scrubbing.

An Event Is Approaching

A facial a week out delivers the glow photographs love, with zero recovery to hide.

You Want a Skin Partner

Monthly visits mean someone qualified is tracking your skin's story and adjusting the plan.

An hour that
feels indulgent.

Results that
look clinical.

Two things: the products and the oversight. We use clinical-strength formulations that only medical settings can carry, and every protocol is designed under our medical providers. A day spa facial relaxes; a medical facial changes skin.

Monthly is the sweet spot for most skin, matching your skin's natural renewal cycle. Your esthetician will tailor the rhythm to your skin type, goals, and the other treatments in your plan.

That decision is the first ten minutes of your appointment. Your esthetician analyzes your skin, hears your goals, and builds the session from there. You don't need to arrive knowing the menu.

Both, and acne is a specialty here. Professional extractions, calming actives, and a consistent facial schedule are a genuine part of acne management, alongside our dedicated acne treatments.

Very well. Facials maintain the results your lasers and injectables create, and your esthetician coordinates timing with the rest of your plan so nothing overlaps too soon.
