A medifacial is a clinician-designed facial: the cleansing, exfoliation and infusion steps are chosen for your skin type and concern, using medical-grade actives that a salon treatment cannot use. Chemical peels work on the same principle at a controlled depth, removing damaged surface layers so that even-toned skin replaces them.
How much downtime is there?
Peels range from superficial, with no downtime, to medium-depth peels that involve several days of visible flaking. Which is appropriate depends on the concern — pigmentation, acne, texture or dullness — and on how much recovery time you can accommodate.
How many sessions will you need?
Both are usually a course rather than a single visit, spaced weeks apart, and sun protection afterwards is not optional. The plan is set at consultation after examining the skin.
What are the side effects?
Temporary redness, stinging, dryness and peeling are common after a peel. On darker skin, peels can cause temporary darkening if aftercare and sun protection are not followed, which is why the strength is matched to your skin. Results vary between individuals.
Is it the right option for you?
Every plan starts with an examination. Dr. Bansal will tell you whether medifacials & chemical peels fits your case — including when it does not.
