Who doesn’t like a facial? No matter what salon you visit, you will be offered multiple choices, such as fruit facials, oxygen facials, hydrating facials, classic facials and microdermabrasion.
Though all these facials give your skin an instant glow, the glow does not last long as they do not reach deeper into the skin. Facials only pamper the skin, not improve it.
The best way to improve your skin and have a smooth and glowing texture for a longer period is by opting for a medifacial.
Medifacial or medical-grade facial is new-age skincare that uses advanced technologies and techniques to treat a range of issues like dull, dry, and loose skin.
Medifacial is gaining popularity because it is safe and effective and deeply cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin. It slows down ageing, reduces pigmentation, rosacea and cleans out blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores and more.
If you are also planning to get a medifacial this wedding season, here’s all you need to know.
The standard duration of a medifacial procedure is 45-90 minutes. It takes around two to three days for the skin to hydrate and appear supple and nearly 30-45 days for the cells to regenerate completely.
Reduces Acne Scarring
Medifacials promote skin regeneration and healing, helping to smooth out uneven textures and fade stubborn scars, resulting in a more even and refined skin surface. It instantly rejuvenates the skin apart from lightening the dark spots caused by hyperpigmentation. It stimulates collagen synthesis under the skin’s surface and reduces the size of pores.
It opens clogged pores and clears out the toxins, dirt and grime resulting in a healthier and more youthful appearance. MediFacials can effectively regulate sebum production.
Skin Rejuvenation
Medifacials use microdermabrasion and mild food-based peels to remove dead pigmented cells, unlike salon facials, which use physical exfoliators or scrubs. The exfoliation process in medifacials removes dead skin cells and encourages new, healthy cells to regenerate, leading to smoother skin, reduced fine lines and an even complexion.
Medifacials stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result is smoother, firmer skin with a youthful radiance.
Deep Cleansing
Medifacials use advanced techniques to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil, and unclogs pores, dead skin cells and other impurities.
Firstly, skin cleansing is done gently with a mild pH-balanced cleanser. Special care is taken so that the skin’s natural barrier containing essential oil, lipids and pH level is not disrupted, for maintaining natural skin health.
A thoroughly cleansed skin is less likely to break out and less likely to get fine lines.
This deep cleansing facial also helps prevent further build-ups under the skin. This is a great facial for people bothered by oily and congested skin.
Hydration
Medifacials are specifically designed to counter dehydration effects by infusing the skin with essential moisture and nutrients. These facials often include intense hydration through serums and masks. By replenishing the skin’s moisture levels, medifacials enhance its natural radiance and restore a youthful glow. Moreover, treatments such as microdermabrasion or derma planing can exfoliate dead skin cells, allowing for better absorption of hydrating products and revealing a fresher, healthier complexion.
Regular medifacials can have a huge impact on slowing down the ageing process. Fine lines and wrinkles significantly reduce due to the intense hydration. Facials can stimulate collagen production and strengthen the muscles in your face that give you wrinkle-free, smooth skin.
Every skin is different and responds to certain medifacial differently, so the composition of the process is also tailored according to the skin concerns, needs, and goals of an individual. People with dull, acne-prone, oily, uneven, rough and sensitive skin can also avail of the benefits of medifacial treatment.
After receiving a facial, keep your skin and body moisturised by drinking lots of water, juice and other fluids.
Your pores are now open due to the steam. Over-touching your skin can cause dirt and bacteria to gather in the skin’s deeper layers.
Use cleansers that won’t alter the pH levels of your skin. Alkaline cleansers harm the protective layer of your skin, eventually causing moisture and essential oils to escape from your skin. Avoid exfoliation after the medifacial. Deep cleaning and scrubbing techniques used in facials will keep your skin supple and free of dead skin cells for several days.
Skip makeup after medifacial to allow the deep cleaning to penetrate within the deeper layers of your skin, give it time to breathe and space to allow your pores to close.
