Medical-Grade Facials NYC
At Marie Hayag, MD, our medical-grade facials in NYC are designed as results-driven skin therapies, not spa indulgences. Each treatment is guided by dermatologic expertise and performed using advanced aesthetic technologies to support long-term skin health, barrier integrity, and visible clinical improvement.
Unlike traditional spa facials that prioritize relaxation, our treatments emphasize non-invasive rejuvenation, collagen support, deep exfoliation, and targeted correction of acne, congestion, uneven tone, and early signs of aging.
Located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, we treat teens and adults seeking personalized, dermatologist-guided care tailored to their skin type, condition, and long-term goals.
What Is a Medical-Grade Facial?
A medical-grade facial is a professional facial treatment performed in a medical setting using clinical-strength products and advanced devices to improve skin health and function.
These treatments go beyond surface cleansing. They may include:
This physician-led approach ensures both symptom control and long-term skin stability.
- Medical-grade exfoliation
- Professional pore cleansing and extractions
- Lymphatic drainage
- LED light therapy
- Collagen stimulation technologies
- Targeted serum infusion
- Skin resurfacing techniques
Because collagen production declines by approximately 1% per year after age 20, proactive treatments that support stimulation and skin renewal become increasingly important.
Medical facials are designed to address:
- Acne and breakouts
- Congestion and enlarged pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines and early aging
- Dehydration
- Sensitive or reactive skin

Benefits of Medical-Grade Facials
Because these treatments are performed in a medical setting and tailored to individual skin needs, patients often experience more consistent and measurable improvement. Patients choose medical-grade facials in NYC for their ability to provide:
- Deep exfoliation for smoother texture
- Enhanced product absorption
- Collagen support
- Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Reduced acne and inflammation
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Non-invasive skin rejuvenation
Regular treatments can help maintain skin barrier health and reduce the need for more aggressive corrective procedures.
Are Medical Facials Worth It?
For patients focused on long-term skin health rather than temporary glow, medical facials are often a worthwhile investment.
Medical facials provide:
- Higher concentration active ingredients
- Professional extraction techniques
- Evidence-based treatment selection
- Customization for acne, aging, and sensitivity
- Integration with other dermatologic treatments
Because treatments are guided by dermatologic expertise, risks are minimized and results are optimized.
How Often Should You Get a Medical Facial?
Most patients benefit from monthly treatments to align with the skin’s natural 28–40 day renewal cycle.
However, frequency may vary depending on:
- Acne severity
- Pigmentation concerns
- Anti-aging goals
- Sensitivity level
Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment schedule.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your facial begins with a skin assessment to determine:
- Skin type

- Sensitivity
Your provider then creates a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Cleansing and deep exfoliation

Downtime is minimal, and many patients experience immediate radiance.
