Medi-Facial FAQs: Things to Know Before Your First Appointment

Are you about to undergo a medi-facial for the first time? Right from knowing what it is a medi-facial to understanding the aftercare aspects of the beauty facial treatment, here are some frequently asked questions and their answers to help you get going.

• • What is a Medi-Facial Treatment?

Medi-facial is a painless and non-invasive beauty facial treatment performed under the supervision of a dermatologist targeting specific skin concerns. Unlike salon facials comprising chemical bleaching, medi-facials include using antioxidants, vitamins, and alpha hydroxy acids.

• How is a medi-facial treatment performed?The process varies with the type of medi-facial you undergo. However, generally, you can expect exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and moisturization.

  • Moisturized and smoother and tighter skin
  • Reduced aging signs
  • Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits
  • Soft, supple and exfoliated skin
  • No post-treatment downtime
• How many medi-facial sessions do I require?
• For those who’ve adopted a facial regimen, a facial once a month can help deliver optimal results. However, the frequency will be higher if you are a beginner.
