If you’re looking to address the visible signs of aging—think fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and rough texture—a med spa facial treatment could help you meet your skin care goals.
Overseen by Drs. Joel and Daniel Schlessinger, board-certified dermatologists, Mohs surgeons and cosmetic surgeons, the LovelySkin Day Spa in Omaha, Nebraska offers a variety of effective medical-grade facials to help address these common skin concerns. “Medical-grade facials are my gold standard for aging skin,” says Joey Lasher, Med Spa Team Lead at the LovelySkin Day Spa.

What is a medical-grade facial?
“Medical-grade facials are performed by licensed providers using medical-grade products and equipment,” Dr. Joel Schlessinger says. “Regular medical spa facial treatments can help reduce signs of aging over time by encouraging cell turnover and boosting your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.”
At the LovelySkin Spa, facials begin with cleansing and toning before moving on to treatments that improve the health and appearance of your skin, including exfoliation, massage and application of masks or serums.
Specifically for aging skin, medical-grade facials can help target skin concerns such as discoloration, laxity, rough texture, fine lines and wrinkles. “With medical-grade products used in the treatment, the active ingredients are a lot more concentrated and also have a special delivery system to help reach deeper layers of the skin,” Lasher says. “These two benefits alone help achieve a more effective spa service and the results the client desires.”
