Medical facials in Lebanon: beyond a spa facial
A spa facial relaxes and cleanses. A medical facial is chosen for a skin goal, under a doctor’s supervision, with methods that reach further. Here is the difference.
Spa facial or medical facial
A spa facial focuses on cleansing, massage and relaxation. It feels lovely, and the effect is mostly on the surface for a few days.
A medical facial starts with an assessment of the skin and uses methods that work deeper: medical-grade peels, dermaplaning, micro-infusion and light, chosen for a goal such as glow, texture, pores or tone.
What it can help with
- Dull, tired-looking skin before an event.
- Rough texture and visible pores.
- Uneven tone and early pigment.
- Dehydrated skin that does not hold make-up well.
How the Face Studio works
At the clinic, medical facials are delivered in the Face Studio and planned under Dr. Douaihy. A plan can combine a facial with treatments such as Aquagold MD Prime or LASEM Glass when the skin needs more than a facial can give.
Timing before an event
A gentle facial can be done a few days before an event. Stronger peels and resurfacing need more time to settle, so plan two to four weeks ahead for anything with downtime.
