Medical Facial Treatment 

Basically, both treatments work on the premise of rejuvenating the skin and in boosting your regular skincare routine.

However, the main difference is that a medical facial uses medical-grade products and devices to deliver the desired results. The treatment is also based on a thorough skin analysis to formulate a personalised treatment to address specific needs and concerns.

Our clinic uses microdermabrasion to restore the skin’s healthy condition. Depending on your skin needs, it helps in rejuvenating your skin efficiently.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and painless treatment that uses tiny and rough grains or crystals to buff the surface layer of the skin. It provides deep and professional-strength exfoliation in removing deep-seated dead skin cells to encourage and stimulate the growth of new skin cells.

Both treatments work by revitalizing your skin to make it look younger and fresher, and reveal a radiant complexion. Aside from this, you can also expect the following results:

a. Stimulates skin cell renewal
b. Improves dull and tired-looking skin
c. Reduces the appearance of acne scars
d. Clears the skin of pimples, blackheads and clogged pores
e. Evens out the skin tone by addressing skin pigmentation and other blemishes
f. Encourages proper moisture levels of the skin
g. Corrects skin tone and texture
h. Decreases the appearance of mild to moderate facial lines and wrinkles

A medical facial is not advised if you have severe acne, dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, skin lesions, herpes breakouts and open sores. If you suffer from any of these skin conditions, your doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment.

It is ideal to maintain regular medical facial treatments every 30 days. However, the number of treatments will depend after careful assessment of your specific skin condition. This will be discussed to you in detail during your consultation with your doctor.

This will depend on the recommended treatment based on the doctor’s evaluation of the patient’s skin and its general condition. Generally, these treatments are tolerable.

Since microdermabrasion is non-invasive and does not require the application of chemicals on the skin, it has no downtime. This means that you can return to your regular daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Medical facials bear minimal side effects. However, in some patients, the treated area becomes warm and redish. This effect will eventually subside in a few hours.

There are cases where side effects tend to be bothersome, especially when the treatment is done poorly. This can lead to problems such as allergies, scarring, skin darkening, changes in skin sensation, infection, and bleeding.

Results will depend on the treatment administered on you. The results are not immediate and are slowly progressive and the significant improvements can be observed after several treatment sessions (Shem et.al, 2001).

The skin-rejuvenating effects of a medical facial depend on how well you take care of your skin after the treatment. It is important that you regularly cleanse, tone and moisturise your skin.

A medical facial is not an integral treatment for your skin. However, getting one done regularly promotes skin renewal, and helps boost skin health that a simple at-home skincare routine cannot fully provide. It also helps boost the effects of your skin care products by setting a conducive environment for it to be absorbed by the skin and deliver its promised results.

If you want to give the care it deserves, you can trust that a medical facial at the Dr. Tyng Tan Aesthetics and Hair Clinic will help nourish and revitalize your skin, and give it that healthy glow. Dr. Tan puts emphasis on assessing your skin type and condition to provide you with the appropriate treatment to reveal a truly rejuvenated skin.
