A standard salon facial follows the same basic steps for every client, regardless of their actual skin condition. Medi Facials are dermatologist-led treatments that begin with a proper skin diagnosis, using medical-grade actives and techniques selected specifically for your skin concern, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Medi Facial is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists to build a protocol suited specifically to your skin’s condition and goals.
A Medi Facial, short for medical facial, is a dermatologist-led treatment that differs from a standard salon facial in a fundamental way: it begins with a proper diagnostic skin assessment rather than applying the same standardised steps to every client. Based on this assessment, a combination of medical-grade cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and active ingredient infusion is selected specifically to address your diagnosed skin concern, whether that’s dullness, congestion, mild pigmentation or early signs of ageing.
This diagnosis-first approach is the core distinction from both regular salon facials and even device-specific treatments like HydraFacial: while HydraFacial offers customisation within the scope of one particular device and its serum options, a Medi Facial can draw from a broader range of medical-grade actives and techniques based on what your skin specifically needs, guided by a dermatologist’s assessment rather than a fixed protocol.
Because the actives used in a Medi Facial are medical-grade rather than standard cosmetic-grade products, they are often formulated at higher, more clinically effective concentrations than what’s typically used in a salon setting, while still being applied safely within a dermatologist-supervised protocol. This is why Medi Facials are often recommended as an entry point for people wanting visible, targeted results beyond what a regular facial can offer, without yet needing a more intensive procedure like a peel or laser treatment.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Medi Facial is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists to build a protocol – combining the right cleansing, exfoliation and active infusion steps – suited specifically to your skin’s diagnosed condition and goals.
