Most Commonly Asked Medical Grade Facial Questions
What makes medical grade facials different from spa facials?
Medical grade facials use dermatologist-developed, prescription-strength products like those from FaceReality®, which offer higher concentrations of active ingredients than typical spa treatments or drugstore products. These treatments focus on addressing underlying skin issues rather than only surface-level care. Our licensed estheticians assess your skin and customize the treatment accordingly to maximize effectiveness and minimize irritation.
Can medical grade facials help with persistent acne?
Absolutely. Our partnership with FaceReality allows us to use targeted acne therapies formulated to reduce inflammation, clear clogged pores, and balance oil production. With a consistent treatment plan, many clients see significant clearing and fewer breakouts over time.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
Most clients experience little to no downtime. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur, especially with acne or exfoliating treatments, but this usually resolves within hours to a day. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your skin heals comfortably.
