MEDICAL-GRADE FACIALS

A clinically guided facial treatment approach designed to support skin health, barrier function, and long-term maintenance through personalised, evidence-informed care.

Overview

Facials at Esmée are structured skin health treatments rather than cosmetic spa services.

Depending on skin needs, facials may include medical cleansing, exfoliation, barrier-support protocols, targeted actives, and supportive technologies selected to optimise skin function and appearance. These treatments are positioned as maintenance and skin optimisation rather than corrective medical procedures.

Key Principles of Our Approach

  • Skin diagnosis before treatment selection
  • Barrier-first, skin-respecting protocols
  • Avoidance of aggressive or unnecessary extraction
  • Personalisation based on skin condition and tolerance
  • Medical-grade products and techniques
  • Ethical positioning without exaggerated claims

Who This Service Is For

  • Individuals with congested or dull skin
  • Patients experiencing acne or post-acne marks
  • Those with mild pigmentation concerns
  • Individuals seeking non-invasive skin renewal
  • Patients willing to follow structured aftercare

What Happens During the Process?

Skin Assessment & Facial Selection

Depending on the selected protocol, the facial may include gentle cleansing and exfoliation to refresh the surface, controlled extraction where appropriate for congestion relief, and hydration with barrier-support applications like serums or masks. Calming, restorative, or balancing techniques such as massage or LED integration follow to soothe and optimize results. Treatments are adapted in real time based on skin response.

Post-Treatment Guidance

After the facial, skin care and product guidance is provided to extend benefits at home. Sun protection and activity advice is discussed to safeguard results, with recommendations for maintenance or next steps outlined. Downtime is typically minimal or none.

Aftercare & Skin Recovery

Aftercare emphasizes gentle skincare with hydrating products while avoiding irritants to protect the skin barrier. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sun protection prevents sensitivity and sustains results, with temporary redness typically resolving in hours using cool compresses if needed. Follow-ups every 4-6 weeks optimize improvement, requiring no downtime.

Skin Concerns Commonly Supported

Medical-grade facials may support dehydrated or stressed skin, congested or dull skin, sensitive or reactive skin, mild texture irregularities, skin requiring maintenance between procedures, and preparation or recovery support around other treatments. Facials are not intended to correct deep scarring, advanced pigmentation, or structural skin concerns on their own.
