How Medical Facials can Boost Your Skin Health at Cerulean Medical Institute in Kelowna BC

Medical facials are a great way to improve and maintain healthy skin. At Cerulean Medical Institute in Kelowna BC, we offer a wide range of science-backed facial treatments designed to safely and effectively address specific skin concerns and restore your skin health.

What Are Medical Facials?

Medical facials combine traditional facial techniques with medical-grade products and technologies, offering a more comprehensive approach to skincare. At Cerulean Medical Institute, we offer a variety of facial rejuvenation treatments, including medical facials, laser resurfacing, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, microneedling, and more. These treatments can be performed separately or used together in a customized treatment plan to address multiple aesthetic or skin health concerns. At your initial consultation with our experienced skincare experts will examine your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine the best course of treatment for your skin.

What Can Medical Facials Treat?

Medical facials in Kelowna can be customized to target various skin conditions, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Rosacea
  • Complexion irregularities

Along withย  โ€œfacialsโ€, many aesthetic treatments and medical technologies can be used on the face and body to address signs of aging, sun damage, and other skin concerns.

How Are Medical Facials Different from Traditional Facials?

Medical facials utilize medical-grade skincare products, equipment, and technologies that are not available in standard spa settings. They are also performed in clinical settings and administered by medical professionals. Medical facials typically begin a thorough skin analysis at our medical spa so that they can be customized to meet individual skin concerns.

The products and techniques used also vary; medical facials utilize medical-grade products and advanced techniques like chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling that penetrate deeper into the skin, whereas spa facials use weaker products that focus on surface-level treatments. As a result, our facials provide more effective and long-lasting results by targeting deeper layers of the skin, while standard facials provide immediate but often temporary benefits.

What Can Medical Facials Do for Your Skin?

Medical facials in Kelowna provide many skin rejuvenation benefits by combining the following techniques into one comprehensive treatment:

Deep Cleansing

Deep skin cleansing removes impurities, excess oil, and debris from the pores, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of blackheads and whiteheads. Furthermore, it helps minimize pore size to improve overall skin texture. At Cerulean Medical Institute, we only use medical-grade skincare products which have a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to over-the-counter products. This makes them more effective so that you can enjoy long-lasting results.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells and surface debris from the skin to promote cell turnover and resurface healthy skin. Exfoliation can be performed manually or chemically through chemical peels. These treatments are not available at home or in traditional spa settings. Advanced exfoliation techniques employed during these facials improve skin texture and tone, leading to a smoother complexion. By removing a build-up of dead skin cells and unclogging the pores, exfoliation also helps prevent acne breakouts and reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydration

Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. The facials we offer often incorporate intense hydration treatments that effectively replenish moisture levels in the skin. This can be done with skincare products or a combination of hydrating products with laser facials or microneedling. Dehydrated skin is dryer, which can worsen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give the skin a dull appearance. By rehydrating the skin and locking in moisture, skin elasticity will be improved and a subtle plumping effect will be created to restore a more youthful appearance. You can also enjoy a brighter skin complexion for a refreshed look.

Early Treatment of Skin Issues

Regular medical facials allow for the early detection by our extensively experienced skincare experts and treatment of various skin issues like acne, rosacea, eczema, skin cancer, and more. By identifying potential skin problems before they escalate into more severe conditions, these facials enable customized treatment plans tailored to address specific concerns effectively. This proactive approach helps prevent long-term skin damage and maintain optimal skin health.
