All of us must have visited a salon a Spa for a soothing facial experience.
Facials are considered as a common practice in everyone’s life to keep their skin healthy
and glowing. With increasing craze of Salon/spa wide variety of facial treatment ranging
from fruit facial to chocolate to diamond to platinum are on the table to pick and choose.
But how effective are these and how healthy are these for your skin in long run is still a
debatable question. The creams and potions in these facial are mostly applied on the skin
surface, so the penetration of the active components deep in to skin cannot be guaranteed.
Medifacial or Medical facial are the facials performed under the guidance or supervision of
a clinical Dermatologist. A dermatologist understands and assess the specific needs as per
the age and expectations of the individual and then customise a facial treatment plan best
suited for one’s need.

and thus the treatment can be very easily and accurately tailored. Commonly used agents
include:
