Facials are a fantastic way to refresh your skin, relax, and give yourself some much needed selfcare. If you ever browsed spa menus, you may have noticed two types of facials: regular spa facials and med spa facials. While both can leave your skin glowing they serve different purposes.

Let's discuss the differences:

Spa facials: Typically focus on luxury and pampering. These treatments are designed to deliver relaxation and pampering. They typically include steps such as cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, and the application of masks. Essential oils and soothing music enhance the sensory experience, making it a holistic retreat for the senses.
The products used in spa facials often include gentle, soothing ingredients derived from natural sources such as fruits, plants, and clays. Techniques might involve gentle massage and steam to open pores and promote relaxation. However, the treatments are generally not customized extensively, with the same protocol applied to many different skin types and concerns, which might not effectively address specific skin health issues.

Med Spa facials: The primary aim of medical facials is to solve specific skin problems. These facials are highly targeted and involve an initial skin assessment by a qualified professional who then tailors the treatment to address individual skin issues.
Medical facials utilize medical-grade ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin for more transformative results. Treatments may include the use of chemical peels, laser therapy,  and microdermabrasion which are selected based on specific skin types and conditions such as acne, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation. These techniques are scientifically proven to be effective in treating a variety of skin concerns at a deeper level.
