Advanced facials are a revolutionary cosmetic treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and cleanses the skin to give you a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Age, environment, and lifestyle factors can leave your skin looking and feeling tired. Acne, fine lines and wrinkles, dehydrated skin, and sun damage are just a few of the cosmetic issues that can cause your skin to lose its youthful luster. An advanced facial can address all those and more, restoring life to an aging or dull complexion.
MedicSPA Gatineau, serving the greater Ottawa and Gatineau area, is proud to offer advanced facials to women and men to help improve the overall quality of their skin.

How Is an Advanced Facial Performed?
How Is an Advanced Facial Performed?
Advanced facials are completely customizable, allowing you to choose one or all of the treatment options that will best address your skin concerns. Treatment options include:
Microdermabrasion
Fitted with one of three diamond tips, the Aqua cleansing handpiece is used to exfoliate your skin to accelerate cell turnover, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and allowing for more effective penetration of the serums used in the treatment.
Hydrogen Therapy
The H2 module infuses your skin with hydrogen-rich water to help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress under the surface while also boosting hydration and brightness.
Infusion
This handpiece infuses your skin with hydrogen water or bio-infusion serum, dissolving and removing skin impurities.
Cleansing and Extraction
Powered by ultrasonic vibrations, the metal spatula of the Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber oscillates to gently loosen and remove excess oil, dirt, and other debris from your pores.
Face and Neck Toning
Two massage balls rotate 360 degrees combined with Micro-current Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (MENS) technology to stimulate the muscles of your face and neck. It feels like a relaxing massage, but this handpiece is lifting and tightening your skin while simultaneously encouraging healthy blood flow and promoting lymphatic drainage.
Electroporation
Electroporation is a process that uses gentle electrical currents to create temporary micropores in your skin. This process is painless and increases your skin's permeability to allow the active ingredients of the bio-infusion serums to penetrate more deeply—without altering or damaging your skin's structure.
