What is a dermatology facial?
Dermatology grade facials are in clinic treatments that aim to improve your skin condition. An acne facial is a specialized treatment designed for individuals suffering from acne, emphasizing a multi-stage process that includes deep cleaning, exfoliation, and the use of specific products to remove spots and enhance skin health.
Dermatology facials can help to treat acne, rosacea, pigmentation, and other skin concerns. Whilst some facials are refreshing and relaxing, not all of them will have powerful ingredients that make up a dermatology-grade facial.
What is a Dermatology-Grade Facial?
A dermatology-grade facial is a customised treatment designed to address specific skin concerns and conditions, such as acne, rosacea, and sun damage.
It is a medical-grade facial that uses advanced techniques and products to provide more effective results than regular facials. This could include a chemical peel, an IPL treatment, or a carbon laser facial. These treatments often focus on exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, which is crucial for preparing the skin for subsequent treatments and improving overall skin health.
Why Choose a Dermatology Facial?
A dermatology facial is a highly effective treatment for addressing various skin concerns, including acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation. Unlike regular facials, dermatology-grade facials are designed to provide customized treatment and can significantly improve the appearance of your skin. By choosing a dermatology facial, you benefit from expert advice and treatment from a qualified practitioner who will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific skin type and concerns. This ensures that the treatment is not only effective but also safe and suitable for your unique skin needs.

The Dermatology Facial Process
The dermatology facial process typically begins with a consultation with a practitioner to determine the best course of treatment. During this consultation, the practitioner will examine your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. Based on this information, the practitioner will create a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser therapy.
The facial itself may involve several stages, including deep cleaning, exfoliation, and the application of a customised peel or serum. Throughout the treatment, the practitioner will provide personalized advice and guidance to ensure that you get the best possible results.
Acne Treatment Options
Acne facials are a type of dermatology-grade facial that targets acne-prone skin. These facials can also address conditions like perioral dermatitis. Facials can really help acne using deep cleansing, powerful exfoliation, and soothing inflammation. It’s important to note that to effectively clear problem skin, a good skincare routine should be followed alongside facials.
Effective treatments for acne include chemical peels, medical-grade LED treatments, and microneedling for scarring.
Dermatology Grade Facials for Acne Scars
Dermatology-grade facials can be highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars. By using advanced techniques and technologies, such as microdermabrasion and laser therapy, a dermatology-grade facial can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars. Additionally, a dermatology-grade facial can help to prevent future breakouts and promote the skin’s health, reducing the risk of further scarring. This comprehensive approach ensures that your skin not only looks better but also remains healthy and resilient.
Professional Facials For Rosacea
A clinic facial can help to reduce redness and flushing caused by rosacea. Dermatology-grade facials can also help protect against skin diseases caused by urban pollution. IPL treatments are often recommended for rosacea.
