Why you should choose Medical grade skincare and Medi-facials?

An introduction to medical grade skincare & why its worth buying

by Julia Amelio, Licensed Esthetician

One of the main differences between drugstore and medical grade
skincare, is the potency and concentration of the active ingredients. In
skincare, the active ingredients are the ingredients that are going to help
your skin actually get the results you are wanting to see. Vitamin C,
Retinoids, AHA’s & hyaluronic acid are all examples of active ingredients.
You may find these ingredients in your drugstore skincare but, it’s not a
high enough concentration to achieve the desired results you are looking
for. Medical grade skincare contains a higher concentration of active
ingredients, making the product way more effective. Over the counter
skincare products cannot technically “treat” a skincare concern like medical
grade skincare can.

All medical grade skincare companies have to complete extensive clinical
trials and research, so their product claims are backed up by strong clinical
evidence. Obagi Medical Skincare is one of our spa’s most popular lines.
Obagi spends years testing and researching their products and ingredients
to make sure they’re giving us the best and most effective version of their
products.

Along with using a medical grade skincare routine at home, an important
step of taking care of your skin is receiving frequent Medi-facials. This is a
specific type of facial that uses advanced technology as well as medical
grade products. A Medi-facial can help target specific skincare needs in a
way that a normal salon facial cannot do. Medi-facials can specifically target and help skin troubles such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scars,
hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and dull skin. The combination use of
Medi-facials and following a medical grade skincare routine will put you on
the road to achieving your skincare goals and having a youthful glow.
