WHAT IS A PREMIER MEDICAL FACIAL?

A medical-grade facial is when physical and chemical forms of exfoliation are utilized using medical-grade skin care products and devices like vibradermabrasion, chemical peels, microneedling, ultrasounds, LED light therapy, and even lasers. Medical facials, unlike day spa facials, do offer long-lasting results. This is because they expose the deeper layer of the skin by renewing, rejuvenating, restoring, and repairing your skin.

At Wellmedica, we offer a complimentary VISIA® Skin Analysis that will measure the porphyrins count (using UV fluorescence imaging) in addition to assessing and analyzing spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, brown spots, and red spots on your face. Based on the VISIA® analysis, Dr. Dima Ali will recommend the type of facial your skin needs.

What Are Medical Facials?

Unlike traditional spa facials, medical facials involve advanced techniques and medical-grade skincare products. These treatments penetrate deeper layers of the skin, addressing concerns at their root rather than just the surface. At WellMedica, each medical facial is customized and can include a combination of:

  • Vibradermabrasion

  • Chemical Peels

  • Microneedling

  • LED Light Therapy

  • Ultrasound Therapy

  • Laser Skin Rejuvenation

This comprehensive approach helps to renew, repair, and restore the skin’s natural barrier, texture, and glow.

Benefits of Medical Facials

Choosing a medical facial in Reston VA at WellMedica offers several benefits beyond what you might experience at a day spa:

1. Deep Exfoliation and Skin Renewal

Using techniques like vibradermabrasion and chemical peels, medical facials deeply exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and encouraging new cell growth.

2. Targeted Acne and Pigmentation Treatment

With treatments such as LED light therapy and laser resurfacing, acne-prone or hyperpigmented skin can see dramatic improvements over time.

3. Anti-Aging Benefits

Collagen-stimulating methods like microneedling and ultrasound therapy reduce fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles, giving the face a firmer, youthful appearance.

4. Improved Product Absorption

Once the skin is properly exfoliated, medical-grade serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively, increasing their efficacy.

5. Immediate and Long-Term Results

Unlike spa facials, medical facials at WellMedica deliver noticeable results after one session, with long-term benefits from continued treatments.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your journey at WellMedica begins with a detailed skin consultation, including the VISIA® Skin Analysis. This helps Dr. Dima determine the best facial plan suited for your skin type, condition, and goals.

A typical medical facial session may involve:

  1. Cleansing and exfoliation using vibraderm or ultrasonic methods.

  2. Extraction of impurities, if necessary.

  3. Application of chemical peels or customized serums.

  4. Non-invasive technology such as LED therapy, ultrasound, or laser.

  5. Hydration and sun protection to finish the treatment.

Treatments typically last 45 to 90 minutes and are relaxing despite their medical-grade intensity. Most patients report an immediate glow and smoother texture post-treatment.

Who Is a Candidate for Medical Facials?

Anyone can benefit from a medical facial. Whether you’re in your 20s and dealing with acne, or in your 50s aiming to minimize signs of aging, these treatments can be tailored for:

  • Oily or acne-prone skin

  • Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sensitive or reactive skin

  • Uneven texture or enlarged pores

If you’re in Reston VA, WellMedica’s expert team is here to guide you through your skincare journey with solutions designed for long-term health and beauty.

Remember that a medical facial focuses on results rather than on relaxation. Since medical facials are highly customizable, they can effectively address a wide spectrum of skin concerns, making them appropriate for nearly everyone. WellMedica's skin care professionals will work with you to understand your specific skin needs and will recommend a customized medical facial treatment plan.

Our medical aestheticians generally recommend getting a medical facial once every month but fitting that into the modern woman’s schedule can sometimes be tough. Having treatments done quarterly is very beneficial, too.

 

The cost of a premier medical facial starts at $175 per session. There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price. To ensure that your premier medical facial is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

It isn’t too much you need to do to prepare for a facial but there are a few things to note.

  • Stop using exfoliating skin care products a day or two before your premier medical facial to reduce sensitivity.
  • Avoid tanning prior to your facial appointment.
  • Do not wax your facial hair at least 72 hours before the scheduled appointment.
  • Ensure that your skin is hydrated and moisturized on the day of your appointment. Drink plenty of water in the days leading to your treatment.
  • If you have a history of cold sores, please discuss with Dr. Dima Ali to ensure that you start your antiviral medication prior to your scheduled appointment.

After receiving your medical facial, you will immediately notice your skin looking smoother, tighter, brighter, and feeling more lifted and clearer. You may experience mild redness depending on what has been performed during your premier medical facial. It is important to remember that results are cumulative. The more consistent you are with getting facials, the better your skin will look and feel.

Things to do after a premier medical facial:

  • Avoid touching your face before washing your hands or using a hand sanitizer.
  • Change your pillowcase when you arrive home.
  • Remember to ask about Cosminology skin care products to maintain the look and feel of your skin.

Medical facials should be performed in medical cosmetic practice by a licensed master aesthetician who practices under the supervision of a physician. As these treatments employ medical-grade tools, they are not entirely risk-free. To avoid any unnecessary side effects, our licensed skin care professionals have extensive knowledge and a proven track record in delivering safe, effective results under the supervision of Dr. Dima Ali.

I travel over an hour to go to WellMedica. I have always had a great experience with Dr. Dima and all of the staff. Everyone is friendly and very accommodating. The signature facial was WONDERFUL- highly recommended!
