Medifacial for Acne and Pimples

What is Medifacial for Acne and Pimples?

A Medifacial is a medical-grade facial performed in a clinic setting. Unlike spa facials, it uses prescription-strength actives—such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and AHAs—to dissolve oil plugs, kill acne-causing bacteria, and rebalance sebum production. Each step is tailored by a dermatologist or trained aesthetician to treat acne at its root.

How Does It Work?

• **Chemical exfoliation:** 2-30 % salicylic or glycolic acid loosens dead cells inside pores. • **Antibacterial therapy:** Benzoyl-peroxide masks or blue-light LED destroy *C. acnes* bacteria. • **Manual extraction:** Blackheads and whiteheads are removed under sterile conditions to minimise scarring. • **Targeted serums and masks:** Niacinamide, tea-tree, or zinc calm redness and speed healing. • **Barrier support:** Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser restores hydration without clogging pores. Clinical studies and current dermatology guidelines agree that combining salicylic acid (pore clearing) with benzoyl peroxide (bacteria killing) delivers superior acne control. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
