Medical-grade facials in Denver can improve or eliminate superficial skin problems. They work on all skin types to produce subtle changes, causing no skin color change or scarring. However, these treatments can only restore a healthy glow to your skin and make other procedures, such as peels and laser treatments, more effective. Facials are not powerful enough to reduce fine lines, tighten skin, remove scarring, or take away brown spots. These problems are better addressed with lasers, injectables, or microneedling.

The answer to that is a resounding yes! Not only can you combine medical-grade facials with deeper treatments like lasers or microneedling, but you should! By removing the outermost layer of the epidermis, medical-grade facials allow whatever rejuvenating treatment follows to have a deeper and more long-lasting effect. We recommend that every laser treatment be preceded by a medical-grade exfoliation for optimal results.

While both types of facials aim to improve skin health, medical-grade facials use stronger formulations of active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and retinoids. These treatments are often more targeted, with a focus on deeper skin rejuvenation and correction of specific skin issues under the supervision of a medical professional.

Medical-grade facials are suitable for individuals looking to address specific skin concerns such as acne, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or signs of aging. Candidates should generally be in good overall health with realistic expectations about what the treatment can achieve. It’s essential to consult with a qualified provider to determine if this treatment is right for you.

For general skin maintenance, it’s recommended to get a medical grade facial once a month, as this aligns with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle. For specific skin concerns or conditions, more frequent treatments every 2-3 weeks may be beneficial initially, reducing to monthly as improvements are achieved.
