Physician-Guided Expertise in Medical Facials

At Marie Hayag MD, medical-grade facials are delivered within a dermatology practice under physician oversight to ensure appropriate treatment selection, safety, and clinical effectiveness. Unlike traditional spa facials, these treatments are designed to address underlying skin concerns while preserving the skin barrier and maintaining overall skin health.

Each patient receives a detailed skin evaluation assessing skin type, sensitivities, congestion, acne activity, pigmentation concerns, and previous treatments. This clinical assessment helps guide the selection of products, exfoliation methods, and treatment intensity.

Facial treatments may also complement other dermatologic and cosmetic procedures performed in the practice. By integrating facials into a comprehensive skincare plan, patients can maintain healthier skin and support long-term treatment outcomes.

What Are Medical-Grade Facials?

Medical-grade facials are professional skincare treatments performed using dermatologist-approved products and evidence-based techniques designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and support skin renewal.

Unlike standard spa treatments, medical facials are tailored to address clinical skin concerns such as acne, congestion, uneven texture, dehydration, and early signs of aging. Treatments are performed in a controlled medical setting where protocols can be adjusted based on skin type, sensitivities, and dermatologic history.

Medical facials may also help maintain healthy skin between dermatologic procedures while supporting the natural skin renewal cycle, which typically occurs every 28–40 days.

Skin Concerns Medical Facials Can Address

Medical-grade facials can help improve a variety of common skin concerns, including:

  • Congested or acne-prone skin
  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • Dehydrated or compromised skin barrier
  • Enlarged pores and excess buildup
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Early signs of aging such as fine lines

During consultation, the dermatology team evaluates whether facial treatments are appropriate and develops a customized protocol based on your skin’s needs.

What to Expect During Your Facial Treatment

Medical facials are performed in-office and typically last between 45 and 60 minutes. Each treatment is customized but may include several steps designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and restore the skin.

Typical treatment steps may include:

  • Professional cleansing to remove impurities
  • Gentle exfoliation to improve skin renewal
  • Extractions when appropriate
  • Treatment masks or hydration therapy
  • Protective skincare application

Most patients experience little to no downtime following treatment. Mild redness may occur temporarily depending on the level of exfoliation or individual skin sensitivity. Many patients notice improvements in hydration, clarity, and skin texture shortly after treatment, with continued benefits when facials are performed regularly.
