Parlour facials are the ordinary or regular facials provided by your nearby salon, shopping mall etc. whilst Medifacials which is short of medical facials are the skin treatment performed under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Medifacials involves advanced technology, researched protocols, and science-based ingredients which are tailor-made to suit the exact needs of individual skin and beneficial in the long run.

A parlour facial is a temporary cleaning and scrubbing of the superficial layer while focusing more on the relaxing massage which makes you feel energised. The creams they use can cause harsh exfoliation of the skin or, can cause blockage of pores which may result in active breakouts.

Medifacials are multidisciplinary approach with comprehensive skin treatment. It goes beyond the temporary cleaning and goes deeper and treats the root cause like acne, blemishes, tanning etc. and improves the cellular integrity of the skin.

Medifacials gives a signature glow with a special set of treatments that range from Hydrafacial, Photofacial, Power Glow, Microdermabrasion and Vampire facials, which helps to remove dead cells and speed up the cellular turnover.

This means a medical facial intervenes in and encompasses the full cycle of skin regeneration that includes shedding and the regeneration of skin cells.
It is for this reason that medical facials are more effective while generic facials may be more popular.

The Price Factor

The medical facials are expensive and you may have to get the treatment every 3-4 weeks yet it is cost effective in the long run because they are targeting the root cause not just the symptoms, without causing any adverse reactions.

Recovery Time

Your skin takes 21 days to complete a full cycle of shedding and regenerating skin cells. So, we recommend scheduling a medical facial, microdermabrasion, or chemical peel treatment every 3-4 weeks for maximum benefits. After the Medifacial, within 24-48 hours you will begin to notice improvements to your skin tone, texture and appearance along with a healthy and hydrated skin. But as the skin type of every person is different/unique so your dermatologist is the best judge to decide the frequency and treatment to suit your skin need. The results are also more appreciable and long-lasting when followed with a good skincare plan.

Trending Treatments
