What Is A Medical-grade Facial?

A medical-grade facial is designed to repair and restore your skin. It uses medical-grade skincare products and equipment to achieve a healthy look and feel. Also called a medi-facial, this treatment targets your specific skin challenges. 

This includes fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots or pigmentation concerns, difficulties with texture and tone, rosacea and acne. Medical-grade facials may use IPL, chemical peels, LED blue light or brightening to greatly enhance and repair your skin.
