Medical-Grade Facials
Your skincare products can only do so much.
If your skin looks tired, uneven, congested, or simply not responding the way it used to, it may need more than another serum.

Clearer skin.
Smoother texture.
A healthy glow that looks natural.

Whether you’re preparing for an event, managing acne, or investing in long-term skin rejuvenation, we help you choose the right approach with clarity and confidence.
What Are Medical-Grade Facials?
Medical-grade facials are professional skin treatments performed in a dermatology clinic using clinically proven technologies and products.
Unlike spa facials, these treatments go beyond surface-level cleansing. They’re designed to improve skin function, texture, tone, and clarity by working within the skin’s natural repair processes.
At Central Alberta Dermatology, facial treatments may include:
- HydraFacial
- Chemical peels
- Microneedling
- Non-surgical facelift
- Customized facial programs built around your skin needs
Each plan is individualized and guided by medical expertise.
How Medical-Grade Facials Work
Facial treatments work by combining controlled exfoliation, stimulation, hydration, and regeneration.
Depending on the treatment, this may involve:
- Removing dead skin cells to improve texture and radiance
- Clearing congested pores and excess oil
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production
- Delivering targeted ingredients deeper into the skin
- Supporting skin repair and renewal over time
Some treatments focus on immediate glow and hydration. Others are designed for gradual, long-term improvement in skin quality.
Healthy skin starts with the right plan.
For medical concerns, a referral from your family doctor is required.
Benefits of Medical-Grade Facials
Depending on the treatment selected, benefits may include:
- Improved skin texture and smoothness
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Reduced congestion and breakouts
- Increased hydration and skin resilience
- Support for collagen production
- Healthier-looking skin over time
Your dermatologist will help determine which approach aligns best with your goals.

Types of Facial Treatments Offered
HydraFacial (Medical-Grade Facial)
HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin.
It is suitable for most skin types and is commonly chosen for:
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Congestion and enlarged pores
- Uneven tone or texture
- Pre-event skin refresh
There is little to no downtime, making it a popular option if you want visible results quickly.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the skin and encourage cell turnover.
They can help improve:
- Acne and acne marks
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Rough or uneven texture
- Fine lines
The strength and type of peel are chosen based on your skin type and concerns.
Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and skin renewal.
Microneedling may be combined with:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Concentrate for enhanced regeneration
- Exosomes for advanced skin repair and cellular signalling
This treatment is often used for texture improvement, acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support collagen production and reduce inflammation.
It is commonly used as a supportive treatment for:
- Reduced skin inflammation
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
