The new generation of medi-facials
– There are beauty facials – and then there are medical facials –
We explore the concept of medical grade facials and how incredibly different and effective they are compared to the traditional facials.
With a traditional beautician facial, you might expect a cleansing process, a toning process, followed by a moisturising and a facial massage. This kind of facial generally feels nice and results in hydrated looking skin – however, the results are largely superficial and short lived.
SEE MEDI-FACIALSA NEW PARADIGM
Enter the new generation of medical-grade facials. These facials are in a different class to the beauty facial. They feature state-of-the-art techniques and use powerful products that are not available over-the-counter.
Aesthetics devices
Profacial micro-suction cleanser
This smart device extracts oil, dirt and dead skin cells gently and safely to a degree far greater than manual cleansing processes can achieve, preparing the skin for a medi-facial application.
Plasma shower
The handheld device uses advanced technology to generate plasma energy which enhances the treatment in multiple ways. The smooth head of the device (about the size of a 10p coin) is moved over the skin surface and feels pleasantly warm to the touch. The technique makes the skin ultra receptive to serums that can penetrate the skin layers and deliver nutrients right into the dermis. It triggers the body’s healing mechanism to generate new skin cells, elastin and collagen and is anti-bacterial and ideal for acne. It also reduces pigmentation and inflammation.
Microneedling
The benefits of electronic microneedling – creating tiny channels in the skin – are well known in the field of aesthetic medicine. Again, this method allows delivery of the treatment products deep into the skin layers and stimulates new cell production. The technique is highly effective, but less comfortable than the Plasma shower, creating a prickly feeling on the skin as the device passes over. It may leave some redness for a few hours afterwards. But most of our patients find it entirely tolerable and love the results.
Powerful topical serums and active ingredients
Once your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared, we apply potent treatments that feed the skin, healing, stimulating and rejuvenating skin health.

RESULTS
The outcome of the combination of these devices and topical serums, is a range of much more efficacious and impactful treatments. These facials pack a punch – they really work – and actively promote skin repair, regeneration and improved appearance.
Benefits include
- Wrinkle reduction – erases fine lines
- Improvement in skin elasticity – do the pinch test and notice how skin pings back more readily
- Reduction in pigmentation and patchiness
- Improvement in overall skin tone and evenness
- Improvement in texture – smoother skin
- Stimulation of new skin cell production
- Increase in collagen and elastin – rejuvenation
- A visible healthy glow – unmissable
Unlike the old-fashioned beauty facial, today’s medical grade facials are supercharged and deliver health, healing and ongoing and lasting benefits. There really is no comparison.
Problem skin
These treatments can tackle skin conditions like acne and rosacea, effectively calming and reducing inflammation and helping to control sebum and oiliness, creating the basis for skin healing. At a later stage they can be used to heal acne scarring and improve the overall texture of skin. We have detailed experience in this area.
Healthy skin = looking younger and more radiant
Skin health is the byword for looking your best in the 2020s. Medical aesthetics has moved away from the more extreme treatments such as facelifts and surgery in favour of gentler and more natural tweakments – and in particular, skin health is front and centre.
Looking after your skin now addresses some of the root causes of ageing and will keep you on track in later life.
