A medical facial is different from the kind you might book at a day spa. While both can be relaxing, a medical facial is designed and performed in a clinical setting, using techniques and products selected for your skin concerns. At Charlestown Cosmetic Medicine, each step is tailored to your needs, so no two treatments are the same.
Step 1 – Consultation and Skin Assessment
Before we begin, we take time to talk about your skin. This includes discussing your current routine, any concerns you have, and your skin goals. Your skin is assessed under appropriate lighting, and we decide together which treatment approach will give you the most benefit on the day.
Step 2 – Preparing the Skin
The treatment usually starts with a gentle cleanse to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. This ensures the skin is clean and ready to receive active products or devices.
Step 3 – The Treatment Phase
This is where your medical facial becomes truly personalised. Depending on your needs, this might include:
- Exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and improve product penetration.
- Targeted masks chosen for hydration, calming, or clarifying effects.
- LED light therapy to support skin recovery and reduce visible redness.
If appropriate, specific treatments can be combined during the same appointment to address multiple concerns.
Step 4 – Finishing and Aftercare
The facial finishes with products chosen to protect and support the skin, such as a nourishing moisturiser and sunscreen. We will also give you aftercare guidance, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure or adjusting your skincare routine for a few days.
