What is a Medical Grade Facial?
Medical-grade facials are exclusively administered in medical aesthetic practices. These treatments are meticulously formulated and personalized to effectively address various skin concerns and achieve specific goals. By targeting the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, medical-grade facials aid in its natural regeneration and the growth of new cells.
Facial treatments have evolved significantly over time. Originating as brightening treatments centuries ago, they have now progressed into sophisticated procedures like multi-step hydrafacials and chemical peels that penetrate deep into the layers of the skin.
To ensure long-lasting results from medical-grade facials, it is crucial to consistently utilize medical-grade skincare products, particularly antioxidant serums and SPF, as part of your skincare routine.
Popular Facials at MD Cosmetic for First Timers
HydraFacial MD
Experience a comprehensive multi-step facial that combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection into a single treatment.
Utilizing gentle yet powerful vacuum technology, this facial effectively removes dirt and impurities from your pores. If you’re dealing with concerns like enlarged or clogged pores, this treatment is an excellent choice as it provides instant results, leaving your complexion noticeably softer and smoother.
Bonus tip: Upgrade this facial to platinum. Enjoy a luxurious lymphatic massage with the addition of dermaplaning.
Chemical Peels
Indulge in a quick and effective approach to revitalize and elevate the radiance of your skin.
This peel utilizes a chemical exfoliation technique that delicately eliminates dull skin cells while simultaneously promoting the production of collagen and elastin. The outcome is the emergence of fresh and rejuvenated skin cells, resulting in a smoother and more luminous complexion.
Your medical aesthetician will choose the best clinical blend for your specific skin type and needs. This list includes Alumier MD AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) for sensitized acne-prone skin, Alumier BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) for oily and congested acne-prone skin, or the Glow peel to rejuvenate dull and aging skin.
Our chemical peel selection does not come short for individuals who would like to address deeper skin concerns, like pigmentation, fine lines & wrinkles, and hydration.
The Alumier peels give great results when done in a package, and a lot of patients seem intimidated by the term “peel” when it is really a mild treatment with very moderate downtime.

Dermaplaning
This facial solution is specifically designed to address dull skin and peach fuzz. By employing a medical-grade scalpel, it delicately exfoliates the skin’s surface, effectively eliminating vellus hair (peach fuzz) and simultaneously polishing away the layer of dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface.
