Which Facial Treatment is Best for Me?
All year long, we do everything we can to keep our skin healthy and looking its best. Things like eye creams, face masks and sunscreen help, but our body’s largest organ still takes a daily beating and over time, we’re bound to develop common skin concerns. That’s where medical-grade facial treatments come into play, like HydraFacials, Chemical Peels, and Microneedling. These three facial treatments can dramatically improve your primary skin concerns. So, which is best for you?
Here at THE MED SPA™ in Southwest Florida, we offer these 3 types of facial treatments because they treat different skin concerns. Many of our patients are curious to learn the differences between them. Just keep reading, we’re explaining it all.
HydraFacial: What Is It and What Can It Fix?
Let’s start by saying: this isn’t your average facial. The HydraFacial™ MD Elite is an award-winning system that uses advanced technology to enhance the health of your skin. It is a great option for those seeking a non-invasive, painless way to recharge skin instantly. It uses a powerful vacuum that extracts and exfoliates the skin while simultaneously infusing the newly cleansed skin with protective serums (think antioxidants and peptides).
Skin Concerns Improved by HydraFacials
Acne and breakouts
Redness, flaking, or dehydration
Skin tone and texture
Overall skin appearance
Fine lines (slight decrease)
In conclusion: HydraFacials deeply cleanse, hydrate, and protect the skin resulting in a rejuvenated, more glowing appearance immediately. They’re perfect for a special event when you want to look extra radiant (or all-around skin health and maintenance).
Chemical Peel: What Is It and What Can It Fix?
Another non-invasive way to considerably improve the appearance of the skin is through a chemical peel, also called chemexfoliation or derma peeling. Our medical-grade chemical peels use effective, but safe, ingredients that essentially peel off the top layers of skin. This treatment increases cellular turnover by gently removing older layers of the epidermis to reveal fresh, flawless skin underneath.
Skin Concerns Improved by Chemical Peels
Sun damage
Brown or age spots
Hyperpigmentation
Skin tone and texture
Acne scarring
Fine lines (and wrinkles)
In conclusion: Chemical peels shed years of aging from the face by sloughing off its most exterior layers, working to restore a youthful appearance. They are ideal for those looking to remove brown spots and sun damage.
Microneedling: What Is It and What Can It Fix?
Microneedling is a powerful medical grade, anti-aging treatment, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). This is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device containing very fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds with newly produced collagen and elastin.
Skin Concerns Improved by Microneedling
Acne scarring
Fine lines (and wrinkles)
Loose or sagging skin
Skin tone and texture
Pore size
Hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks
In conclusion, microneedling produces collagen under the skin helping to improve the skin’s texture and restore a youthful appearance. Microneedling is a great solution for those wanting to improve their skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
