Medical Grade Facials in Lincoln
Medical-Grade Facials serve as a vital skincare regimen, offering hydration and utilising active ingredients like peels and EGFs to promote cellular renewal and skin revitalisation. For individuals already investing in aesthetic treatments like anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, facials can extend and amplify the benefits of these more costly skincare interventions.
How do medical-grade facials help?
Dermaplaning is an extremely effective procedure that uses a medical-grade blade to remove vellus hair and a layer of dead epidermal skin cells on the surface of the skin. This has a twofold effect. By removing vellus hair and dead epidermal cells that absorb up to 85% of our topical hydrating products, more of the active products used in the facial can target healthy skin cells enabling deeper hydration. This leads to a more effective procedure and increased skin cell regeneration.
Raffine is an automated micro-needling device used to deliver hundreds of tiny microchannels into the dermis, with the addition of a meso-cocktail (a blend of amino acids) fibroblasts are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin. These two proteins are responsible for skin strength and suppleness, reducing the dreaded ageing skin laxity.
The Image – The procedure includes Dermaplane, enzyme peel(shown) and blue LED light therapy to promote healing.
What to Expect:
During the procedure: Firstly, your practitioner will prepare your skin by removing any makeup and sanitise your skin. If you are having a Dermaplane procedure, the layer of vellus hair and dead skin cells will be removed using a medical grade blade. A medical-grade enzyme peel will digest any remaining dead skin cells leaving the skin prepped for hydrating products and or Raffine micro needling. All listed procedures include LED Light Therapy, colour chosen to suit your skin presentation. Raffine procedure will be finished with a sterile HA mask and LED Light Therapy.
Immediately after the procedure: Your practitioner will apply a hydrating mask to your face and leave this in place while the active products enter the skin. To reduce the risk of photosensitivity, following Dermaplane an SPF50 will be applied to protect your skin from the sun’s UV radiation and dispensed for use 24 hours after post Raffine procedure.
The days after the procedure: There is no downtime following Dermaplane procedure but a downtime of 24 hours following Raffine is expected to allow microchannels to close.
