There are significant differences and medical facials should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.

These aesthetic treatments are considered to be more effective. They can also assist with improving some skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, dull and tired skin, dry or oily skin and photo-ageing amongst others.

Our skin is of prime importance to the body and needs to be protected from environmental factors such as pollution and harmful sun rays. Stress, health condition and ageing impacts our skin. It is advisable to maintain our everyday skin health by keeping it fresh and revitalised.

Medical facials are available to most individuals where appropriate. They are highly customisable and can be adapted to a wide range of skin types and concerns.

Some of these products are only available in medical clinics.

There are a variety of treatments that can help with ageing, dry or oily skin, sun-damaged or acne-prone skin. Individuals with severe acne, rosacea and pigmentation should consult their dermatologist as medical facials are not a substitute for medical treatment.
