Your skincare… your choice!
We all want to look and feel our best on camera and face to face. We all want to have that natural glow.
The market is full of cosmeceutical offerings. There is no shortage in treatments offered by medical clinics and salons and all of them offering you the best results. But the big question remains: “What is right for me?”.
We asked our very own Dr John Quinn to share some insight and help us understand the difference between a salon and medical facials. In summary:
- Medical Facials will cover the full spectrum starting from skin regeneration and rejuvenation, tackling the underlying condition, and prompting collagen and elastin production (reducing the fine lines and wrinkles). Advanced technology combined with serums and application techniques able to produce amazing results and at Quinn Clinics, we only use the latest technology with proven results.
- Salon Facials are a quick way to get you feel energised and pampered. But if you are in a market to have your skin glowing every day, then medical facial is the way to go.
Medical facial vs salon facial comparison
Let’s compare both options in more detail:
| Medical Facial | Salon Facial |
| Fully customised to your skin type and focused on the best results for you.
| Wide variety of cosmeceutical products for mass use rather than individually tailored |
| Your visit for a medical facial will always start from a skin analysis. The skin analysis is essential for identifying your skin texture and type, your problem areas that are yet to hit the surface of the skin and not visible to the naked eye. | Salon-based facials might have a huge variety, but none of them is customised for your particular skin type. |
| Deep Skin penetration | The top layer of the skin |
| One of the most important benefits of using medical facials is the combination of equipment and serums. The medical facials penetrate deeper layers of your skin and therefore help you to attain great skin results from the inside | Salon facials only target the top layer of skin that is insufficient to provide long-lasting results. This is why you may have breakouts a few days after your treatment. |
| Glowing results over a longer period of time and improvement to your skin health | Instant glow for a short period of time |
| Medical facials operate on a cellular level and beyond superficial levels of skin targeting your specific underlying conditions | Salon Facials alter the appearance of the skin that do not last as long |
