What Are Medical Aesthetician Services?

Medical aesthetician services go beyond traditional spa facials by incorporating clinical-grade treatments performed in a medical setting.
These services address specific skin concerns using professional techniques and products that deliver visible, lasting results. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, professional skincare treatments can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance when performed by trained specialists.
Our practice offers a comprehensive range of services:

Chemical peels: Exfoliate damaged outer layers to reveal smoother, brighter skin beneath.
Dermaplaning: Gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair for a luminous complexion.
Microdermabrasion: Mechanically exfoliates to improve texture, fine lines, and mild discoloration.
Anti-aging facials: Target fine lines, loss of elasticity, and dullness with specialized techniques.
Acne facials: Address active breakouts and congestion with deep cleansing and extractions.
Post-medical and surgical skincare: Support healing and optimize results after procedures.
Ultrasound/LED light treatment: Stimulate collagen production and calm inflammation.
Facial waxing and brow shaping: Define and refine your features with precision hair removal.
