Which protocol fits which skin concern
For patients whose primary concern is active acne, dull tone, or post-acne marks, a chemical peel sits alongside these medical facials as a different mechanism: acid-based controlled cell turnover rather than device-based extraction and infusion. Dr Samantha decides which mechanism fits the skin at consultation.
Which medical facial treatment protocol your skin actually needs
A medical facial treatment is delivered by a clinic using a clinical-grade multi-step machine, with a doctor on premises and a treatment plan that's matched to the patient's skin assessment. A regular spa facial is delivered by an aesthetician at a wellness setting using consumer-grade products and a fixed routine.
At Nexus, every medical facial runs through the same single multi-step machine. Different head attachments deliver different steps. The base protocol is ProLite (cleanse only, three steps), and the ProFacial Back protocol is dialled for the upper back.
- Step 1
Aqua peel cleanse
Dome-tip glides across the skin; gentle suction lifts dead cells while water-based serum flows continuously. Skin stays hydrated, not scraped.
- Step 2
Targeted extraction
Same handpiece, higher suction. Water softens sebum simultaneously, gentler than manual extraction.
- Step 3
Serum infusion (full protocols only)
Second head attachment delivers a treatment serum into freshly cleansed skin.
Both protocols (ProLite and ProFacial Back) run on the same console; the difference is which heads are used.
Why the three-step protocol sequence matters
Why every medical facial runs through the same multi-step machine
Dr Samantha's clinic uses a single clinical-grade machine for both standard medical facial protocols. The head attachments change between steps, but the underlying device, vacuum, and infusion mechanism stays consistent. This is deliberate.
- Consistency: one machine means one calibration, one cleaning protocol, one set of consumables Yumi and Esther are trained on. Easier to deliver the same quality across every booking.
- Patient matching: rather than booking a brand-named template, the protocol is matched to skin type and concern at consultation. Maintenance patients route to ProLite, and body-acne patients route to ProFacial Back. Active acne patients see Dr Samantha first.
- Polynucleotide brightening boosters sit outside the multi-step machine path. They use a microneedling pen instead. This is a deliberate separation because the booster vehicle is different and the mechanism is brightening, not cleansing.
Who a medical facial suits, and when to pause first
Suitable for
Suitable for
- Monthly maintenance. Congested pores, dull tone, mild texture concerns.
- Pre-event preparation. Wedding, photoshoot, social event 7 to 14 days out.
- Body acne on the upper back. ProFacial Back protocol is dialled for that area.
Take care
Pause first
- Currently using prescription tretinoin or retinol. Pause 5 to 7 days before any extraction-based facial.
- Active inflammatory acne with weeping lesions. See Dr Samantha first; we may delay to oral or topical treatment.
- Recent ablative laser or peel (under 7 days). Let the barrier recover before extraction.
- Patients expecting permanent results from one session. Facials are maintenance, not transformation.
How the Rejuran Glow White Booster add-on combines microneedling with growth-factor serum
- Step 1, 5 min
Skin assessment + protocol match
Esther reviews your skin, recent products, any active flares. If the skin assessment surfaces something beyond a facial, Dr Samantha is on-site to consult in the same visit.
- Step 2, 5 min
Cleanse + preparation
Standard cleanser + skin prep using the first cleanse head. Removes surface oils and product residue before the deeper steps.
- Step 3, 10-15 min
Multi-step extraction
The vacuum cleanse heads sweep across the T-zone, cheeks, and chin. Comedones lift via the suction.
- Step 4, 5 min
Cool down + aftercare brief
Cool compress, sunscreen application, brief on the next 24 hours. Most patients return to work or events the same day with minimal redness.

Side effects and recovery for a medical facial
Worth knowing
Common (most patients)
- Mild redness for 30 to 60 minutes post-session, especially around the cheek and chin extraction zones.
- Skin feels tighter and cleaner for the rest of the day. Most patients reapply moisturiser that evening.
- Small bumps may appear 24 to 48 hours post-extraction as deeper comedones surface. Usually settle within 3 to 4 days.
Take care
Less common
- Localised tenderness at heavily extracted zones for 24 hours.
- Mild dryness if you used active retinoids in the preceding week.
- Post-extraction redness lasting beyond 24 hours. Escalate to Dr Samantha if it persists past day 3.

Aftercare for a medical facial session
- Day 0
Skip actives + protect
No retinoids, no AHA / BHA, no vitamin C serum for 24 hours. Sunscreen on if you're heading outside. Most patients can wear makeup the same evening if needed.
- Day 1 to 3
Barrier + hydration
Hyaluronic acid + ceramide moisturiser twice daily. Avoid hot showers and direct sun for the first 48 hours. Drink more water than usual.
- Day 4+
Resume normal routine
Reintroduce actives gradually, lower frequency than usual for the first week. Schedule the next session based on the cadence Esther recommends.
Esther sends a brief aftercare summary via WhatsApp post-session.
Why medical facials sit in Dr Samantha's monthly maintenance protocol
- Doctor-on-premises: if the skin assessment surfaces something beyond a facial (active acne, pigmentation, structural concern), Dr Samantha is on-site to consult in the same visit.
- Consistent device + trained staff: Yumi and Esther deliver every session on the same multi-step machine. No brand swapping, no calibration drift between visits.
- Protocol-matched, not template-named: the protocol is selected at consultation based on skin, not a fixed brand template. Active acne patients see Dr Samantha first.
- Polynucleotide brightening add-on available at the same visit for patients who want both the facial cleanse and a separate surface-glow booster, without booking a second appointment.
- Same-day return: minimal redness. Most patients return to work or events the same day.
