As a cosmetic surgeon, I meet people every week who are curious but hesitant. They’ve seen the results online, but real-life questions (and a little skepticism) keep them from booking their first session.
So, let’s address the four most common concerns I hear in my clinic — with honest, patient-first answers.
1. “Are medifacials safe for my skin type?”
The worry:
A patient once told me, “I’ve had sensitive skin since my teenage years — even some creams make me break out. I’m scared a medifacial might make things worse.”
The truth:
Unlike spa facials, medifacials are customised treatments performed under medical supervision. At Pristine Poliklinic, every session starts with a thorough skin analysis. We tailor the products, devices, and depth of treatment to your skin’s needs — whether it’s oily, dry, sensitive, or acne-prone.
The result? A safe, targeted boost without the guesswork.
2. “Will I look red or swollen after?”
The worry:
One bride-to-be nervously asked me during her consultation, “If I do this a week before my wedding, will I look like a tomato in the photos?”
The truth:
Most medifacials are zero-downtime treatments — meaning you can walk out with glowing skin the same day. Mild redness (if any) typically fades within hours. I always advise my patients to schedule their session a few days before a big event so the skin’s natural radiance is at its peak.
3. “Are medifacials just expensive spa facials?”
The worry:
This is a common misconception. A gentleman in his late 30s once told me, “I can get a facial at my gym spa for half the price — why should I pay more?”
The truth:
Spa facials focus on relaxation; medifacials focus on skin health and cellular repair. Using advanced tools like hydradermabrasion, light therapy, and medical-grade serums, medifacials work below the surface to stimulate collagen, clear clogged pores, and hydrate deeply. Think of it like the difference between washing your car’s exterior and getting a full engine tune-up.
4. “How often should I get one?”
The worry:
A busy corporate client asked, “I barely have time for a haircut — is this a monthly commitment?”
The truth:
Frequency depends on your goals. For maintenance and general skin health, once every 4–6 weeks works well. For targeted concerns like acne or pigmentation, we might start with a structured plan. The best part? Each session builds on the last, so your skin keeps improving over time.
💡 Pro Tip from Dr. Divya: If you’re trying a medifacial for the first time, start with one designed for hydration and repair. It’s the gentlest way to see how your skin responds — and the glow will speak for itself.
Final Takeaway
Medifacials are not just a beauty trend — they’re a science-backed investment in your skin’s long-term health. With the right medical guidance, they’re safe, effective, and tailored to your lifestyle.
If you’ve been curious but hesitant, consider this your gentle nudge. Book a consultation, ask all your questions, and let’s design a plan that works for you.
