Medical-grade facials at AuraMed Aesthetics in Boca Raton go beyond what a traditional spa can offer. Performed by licensed aestheticians and medical providers, our facial treatments use clinical-grade products and technology to address acne, aging, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin health at a deeper level.
What Is a Medical-Grade Facial?
A medical-grade facial uses pharmaceutical-strength active ingredients and advanced techniques that are not available in standard spa settings. Treatments are customized to your specific skin type and concerns, often combining exfoliation, extractions, targeted serums, and professional devices for superior results.
Facial Treatments Available at AuraMed Boca Raton
HydraFacial
The HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates simultaneously using a patented vortex suction device. It delivers concentrated serums deep into the pores, leaving skin immediately plump, clear, and glowing with zero downtime.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels use controlled concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), TCA, or retinol to exfoliate the skin’s surface. Peels are customized by depth — superficial for glow and texture, medium-depth for pigmentation and fine lines, deep for more significant resurfacing concerns.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). The result is instantly smoother skin that absorbs skincare products more effectively. Dermaplaning is often combined with a chemical peel or facial for enhanced results.
Custom Corrective Facials
Our providers design custom facials for specific skin concerns including adult acne, rosacea, melasma, post-procedure skin, and anti-aging. These treatments combine clinical-grade products with techniques such as microcurrent, LED therapy, and lymphatic drainage as appropriate.
What to Expect from a Medical-Grade Facial
Most medical-grade facial appointments at AuraMed take 45 to 75 minutes. Your provider begins with a skin analysis to customize the treatment. Downtime ranges from none (HydraFacial, dermaplaning) to 2 to 5 days of mild peeling (medium-depth chemical peel). Results are visible immediately for hydration-focused treatments and within 1 to 2 weeks for corrective peels.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facials in Boca Raton
How often should I get a medical-grade facial?
For maintenance and general skin health, a medical-grade facial every 4 to 6 weeks aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. Corrective programs for acne or pigmentation may recommend more frequent visits initially.
Is a HydraFacial worth it?
Yes — especially for patients who want immediate, visible results with no downtime. The HydraFacial is one of the most popular treatments globally because of its versatility and the instant improvement in skin clarity and hydration after just one session.
What is the best facial for anti-aging?
For anti-aging, a combination approach works best: a HydraFacial for maintenance hydration, a medium-depth chemical peel seasonally for cellular turnover, and a laser treatment such as CoolPeel or Helix CO2 annually for collagen stimulation.
