Visiting a nearby salon for month-to-month facials is a common practice in Indian households. Women choose this beauty regime to rejuvenate their skin and make it glowing and soft for a few days. But are these salon facials causing more harm than good? Turns out, they might be! So, what do you do to achieve a lasting glow? Medi Facial to the rescue!
Medi-facial or Medical Facial is a facial done under the supervision of a dermatologist, using ingredients that are skin-friendly and medically tested to benefit the skin in the long run. Unlike salon facials, they are not based on the chemical bleaching principle. Instead, they are based on nutrients, antioxidants, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). These ingredients provide an immediate brightening effect along with anti-aging benefits in the long run — with no side effects.
Thanks to globalization and increased consumer awareness, many women are turning to Medi Facials. On average, we perform around 50+ facials a month. The most trending treatments include:
- Miami Facial
- OxyRevive
- Neogenesis
- Hydrafacial
- Power Glow
- Nano Vampire Facial
- Instabright
The immediate and long-lasting results have made them extremely popular. A major bonus is that these treatments are safe even for sensitive skin types, so there’s no need to worry about a red or swollen face.
Tempted but still not fully convinced?
Hydrafacial and Oxygeneo include powerful skin-brightening nutrients and serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ascorbic acid, AHAs, etc., which are not found in regular facials. The Vampire Facial extracts a person’s own growth factors from their blood and infuses it back into the skin to reverse signs of aging — something a salon facial could never do.
The demand for these facials is constantly increasing, driven by growing awareness among beauty-conscious consumers. In today’s digital world — where checking Instagram comes before checking the mirror — celebrities openly discussing their skincare routines have influenced many. Consumers actively look for dermatologists offering these premium facials and book appointments to experience the same.
There’s also a notable increase in customers requesting lip and cheek enhancements and facial contouring following these sessions.
If you’re a man reading this — yes, Medi-facials are for you too!
Gone are the days when skincare was limited to women. Today, 30% of clients opting for Medi Facials are men. With thicker skin and more exposure to sun damage, men usually go for intense facials like:
- Powerglow DNA Repair — works deep enough to target thicker male skin.
- Nefertiti Facial — focuses on skin tightening and facial lift.
Aesthetic Medi Facials help improve skin tone, texture, collagen production, and therefore, slow down the aging process.
Medi Facials are a blend of:
- Advanced lasers
- Light-based technology
- Exfoliation methods like water jets
- Hydradermabrasion
These techniques remove dead skin cells and speed up cell turnover. The results are more visible and longer lasting, especially when paired with a good skincare plan.
By contrast, regular salon facials typically involve steam, bleach, and mild products designed more for pampering than for treating skin conditions. They unfortunately aren’t effective in addressing specific skin issues.
So, the next time your salon facial leaves you disappointed, consider a Medi Facial to treat your skin the right and advanced way!
