Medical-Grade Facials: Your Go-To Solution for Skin Problems
Specialized facial treatments are an ideal way to uncover your best skin yet. Whether you have been trying to hide dark spots for years or are beginning to see fine lines and wrinkles, medical-grade facials such as chemical peels can help.
At Miracle Beauty Cosmetic Boutique, our highly trained professionals treat your skin concerns with medical-grade facials specially customized for your skin type.
Chemical Peels and What They can Treat
Chemical peels are safe and effective treatments for many skin conditions and concerns. They use a safe percentage of glycolic, trichloroacetic, salicylic, lactic, or carbolic acid to slough off old, dead layers of skin. In turn, this encourages new skin cells to form.
Sloughing dead skin cells increases collagen and the elasticity of the skin. This improves the outer layer’s appearance and reveals more youthful and radiant skin underneath.
Chemical peel benefits range based on skin type and skin concern, but they can help treat or improve the following:
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and/or hands (depending on treatment site)
- Reduces the appearance of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation
- Heals and treats certain types of acne
- Reduces the appearance of sunspots, age spots, liver spots, and uneven skin colour
- Helps skin look more youthful, radiant, and smooth
- Helps with uneven skin texture, rough skin, scaly patches, and an overall dull complexion
- Reduces the appearance of dark patches due to pregnancy or other factors
How Medical-Grade Facials Work
A medical-grade facial works by preparing the skin and treating it with a special treatment that can be harsher (however, still safer) than over-the-counter options. These facials result in better and more rapid results.
A skin specialist will first prepare your skin by removing excess makeup and deep cleansing the skin. Steaming the face will open the pores, and exfoliation sloughs off any surface-layer dead skin cells. Finally, the skin is replenished using a medical-grade treatment.
Medical-grade facials include specialized treatments such as chemical peels for acne scars. Pigmentation, skin redness, comedones, and other skin texture concerns are improved with medical-grade facials. Skin tightening is also achieved.
How to Choose the Right One for You
Ultimately, it’s important to speak with your provider about the best treatment type for your skin. Overly sensitive skin may go through undue trauma as a result of chemical peels, and it may be better to opt for a treatment such as microdermabrasion or a specialized facial.
On the other hand, someone struggling with fine lines and wrinkles might opt for a chemical peel to achieve better results than another type of specialized treatment. Your best choice will ultimately depend on your skin type, skin history, and the concerns you have and are looking to treat.
How Many Treatments Before I See Results?
Depending on the depth of your skin concerns, you may need up to 4-6 treatments before you see noticeable results. Dark hyperpigmentation, deep wrinkles, and heavy scarring will take longer to achieve desirable results than more superficial skin concerns.
For instance, fine lines that aren’t overly visible or mild dullness in the skin complexion can easily be fixed with 1-2 sessions of a medical-grade facial treatment.
Again, this will also depend on how well your skin responds to the treatment. Results will vary from patient to patient. Rest assured our team will give you the best estimate we possibly can based on the information we have about your skin and an initial assessment.
