WHAT IS A GEMSKIN MEDICAL FACIAL AND HOW DOES IF DIFFER FROM A TRADITIONAL SPA FACIAL?
THE GEMSKIN MEDICAL FACIALS ARE DESIGNED TO REPAIR, RESTORE, AND REJUVENATE THE SKIN. WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE SKINCARE BAR CONTAINING ACTIVE ENZYMES, ACIDS, VITAMINS + NUTRIENTS, AMINO ACIDS, ANTIOXIDANTS AND MUCH MORE.
At GEMSKIN STUDIO, our facials are results-driven, meaning we create a unique facial treatment for each client based on their specific skin needs and goals. The experience is very relaxing, but you’ll notice real changes in your skin due to the active ingredients and solutions used in our treatments. That why we use the term “Medical Facial” – it’s simply an enhanced facial geared towards achieving specific results.
Our facials are always completely customized to your specific skin needs and concerns. We recognize that the skin is always changing so there is no one size fits all treatment. Gem will take a close look at your skin to identify what treatment is needed at that time.
IS THERE DOWNTIME AFTER A MEDICAL FACIAL?
All our medical facials are customized to specific skin needs and the intensity of the treatment varies from patient to patient. The skin can have redness if extractions are performed or more active ingredients are used. The redness subsides within a few hours. Generally you leave with glowing skin! Gem will always take into account your lifestyle and customize accordingly.
CAN I WEAR MAKEUP AFTER HAVING A MEDICAL FACIAL?
You can wear makeup after your facial. However we do encourage that you avoid wearing makeup until the next day if you can so your skin receives maximum benefits from the treatment.
DO YOU PERFORM EXTRACTIONS AT GEMSKIN STUDIO?
Yes we do perform extractions when needed to improve the look and health of the skin.
DO YOU EXTRACT MILA AT GEMSKIN?
Gem will assess the location of the milia and determine if it is safe to extract. If we deem it safe for extraction we will do an enzyme treatment in the area and extract the milia.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD SOMEONE HAVE A MEDICAL FACIAL?
If you are dealing with acne your practitioner may advise that you come in bi-weekly for the first few treatments. Generally we recommend our clients come in every monthly and no longer than 6 weeks.
CAN A MEDICAL FACIAL BE COMBINED WITH OTHER SERVICES?
Most definitely, it is commonly performed in conjunction with other advanced cosmetic treatments such as dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, and nanoneedling to further enhance the results.
