​​​What is the difference of a medical grade facial and a regular facial? 

A medical-grade facial is performed in a clinical setting by a licensed professional with advanced training and medical oversight. The goal is not just relaxation, but true skin correction and long-term improvement.

Key Benefits & Features of a Medical Grade Facial

• Advanced Skin Analysis
  Your skin is evaluated on a deeper level—examining texture, pore function, pigmentation, moisture balance, inflammation, and underlying concerns. This allows your provider to create a treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs and goals.

• Medical-Grade Products
  These treatments use potent, higher-strength ingredients such as retinoids, growth factors, peptides, antioxidants, AHAs/BHAs, and targeted actives that can penetrate beyond the surface. These ingredients are backed by clinical research and formulated to create real change within the skin.

• Corrective, Results-Driven Treatments
  Medical-grade facials can address acne, aging, texture issues, hyperpigmentation, congestion, rosacea, and overall skin function. They may include advanced procedures like enzyme therapies, chemical exfoliation, dermal infusion, LED therapy, high-frequency, and more—depending on the client’s needs.

• Performed With Medical Oversight
  With access to medical providers, treatments are both safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and concerns. This also allows for the integration of treatment plans that may include additional medical aesthetic services.

• Long-Term Skin Health Focus
  Results are designed to be corrective and lasting, not temporary. These facials support true skin transformation, improving the health of the dermis and epidermis over time.​

​What is the difference between over the counter skincare products and medical grade products?  

Over-the-counter skincare is sold in retail stores and online. It contains lower levels of active ingredients and is formulated for general use. These products typically aren’t backed by clinical studies in the way medical-grade formulas are, and their ingredients work mostly on the skin’s surface for mild, gradual results.

Medical-grade skincare can only be purchased through licensed professionals or medical practices. These products use higher concentrations of clinically tested, evidence-backed ingredients—such as retinoids, vitamin C, peptides, and exfoliating acids—designed to penetrate deeper layers of the skin. Because they undergo rigorous clinical research and contain potent, results-driven ingredients, they provide more effective, targeted, and transformative outcomes.
