Face Forward with These Trending Med Spa Facial Treatments
Revitalize Your Skin: The Power of Med Spa Facial Treatments
Med spa facial treatments are advanced skincare procedures performed in a medical spa setting that combine the relaxation of a traditional facial with medical-grade technology and products. These treatments offer deeper, more effective results than typical day spa facials.

Med spa facial treatments have become increasingly popular because they target specific skin concerns with medical-grade technology. Unlike traditional facials that work primarily on the surface, these treatments penetrate deeper layers of skin for long-lasting improvements. They're customized to your unique skin needs and can address everything from aging to acne with minimal downtime.
I'm Rachel Stone, a Licensed Medical Aesthetician with over a decade of experience in providing transformative med spa facial treatments that help clients achieve their skincare goals through personalized care and advanced techniques. I've witnessed how these treatments can dramatically improve not just the appearance of skin, but also clients' confidence and well-being.
1. Chemical Peels: Revitalize Your Skin
Chemical peels are the number one service provided in medical spas across the country, and for good reason. These powerful treatments use carefully formulated acids to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin underneath.
How Chemical Peels Work
Have you ever wished you could simply peel away skin concerns like fine lines or acne scars? That's exactly what chemical peels do! These remarkable med spa facial treatments work by applying a specialized chemical solution to your skin that creates a controlled exfoliation process. As the solution interacts with your skin, it gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to naturally peel away.
What makes this process so magical is what happens underneath. As those old, damaged cells shed, your body responds by ramping up new cell growth and collagen production. The result? Skin that looks smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned.
At MD Body and Med Spa in Greenwood Village, we customize your peel experience based on your specific needs:
Our superficial peels use gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to refresh your skin's outermost layer with virtually no downtime. These are perfect for a quick skin refresh before a special event!
For more stubborn concerns, our medium peels with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid penetrate to the middle skin layers for more noticeable improvement.
And when significant change is needed, our deep peels reach deeper into the middle skin layer for dramatic results.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
The beauty of chemical peels lies in their versatility. Whether you're bothered by early signs of aging or struggling with acne scarring, these treatments can help transform your skin.
One of our clients, Sarah, came to us frustrated with persistent acne scars. "There is nothing worse than having to deal with scars on your face," she told us. After completing a series of targeted chemical peels, she was thrilled with the improvement. "The treatment was quick, and while I felt a tingling sensation, it wasn't painful at all. The results were well worth it!"
Chemical peels are particularly effective at softening fine lines and wrinkles, especially those crinkly ones that appear around the eyes and mouth. They're also excellent for improving mild scarring, addressing certain types of acne, fading age spots and dark patches, and giving life back to dull complexions.
The overall improvement in skin texture and tone can be remarkable – many clients tell us they feel comfortable going makeup-free for the first time in years!
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Wondering what the experience is actually like? During your chemical peel, you'll typically feel a warm to hot sensation for about five to ten minutes, followed by some stinging. Don't worry – the intensity varies with the type of peel, and we make sure you're comfortable throughout. For our deeper peels, we provide pain medication and cooling techniques to ensure your comfort.
Afterward, your skin will begin its renewal process. This looks different depending on the peel strength:
With superficial peels, you'll notice some redness and slight scaling for about 3-7 days – nothing that would prevent you from going about your normal activities.
Medium peels involve more noticeable redness, some swelling, and skin crusting that typically resolves within 7-14 days.
Deep peels require more downtime, with significant redness, swelling, and potential blistering that may take 14-21 days to fully heal. Think of it as an investment – more downtime often means more dramatic results!
For optimal change, most of our clients benefit from a series of peels spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. The results can last anywhere from one month to several years, depending on the depth of your peel and how diligently you protect your skin afterward with sunscreen and good skincare habits.

2. Microdermabrasion: Reveal a Brighter Complexion
Ever wished you could instantly reveal fresher, more radiant skin hiding beneath the surface? That's exactly what microdermabrasion offers. This gentle yet effective med spa facial treatment buffs away dullness to uncover your natural glow without the downtime of more intensive procedures.
How Microdermabrasion Works
Think of microdermabrasion as a sophisticated exfoliation system that goes beyond what your at-home scrubs can achieve. During your treatment at MD Body and Med Spa, we'll use a specialized device that gently polishes your skin with either fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand. As the device glides across your face, it simultaneously vacuums away the loosened dead skin cells and debris.
The beauty of this process is how it works on multiple levels. Not only does it immediately remove that dulling outer layer of skin, but it also boosts circulation to your face and triggers your skin's natural healing response. This stimulation encourages fresh collagen production—the protein responsible for keeping your skin firm and youthful.
Our team customizes each treatment's intensity to match your unique skin type and concerns, ensuring you get the perfect balance of results and comfort.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
The transformative effects of microdermabrasion extend far beyond simple exfoliation. Many of our clients are amazed by how this single treatment addresses so many different skin concerns simultaneously.
Improved skin tone and texture is often the first benefit people notice. That dull, uneven complexion? Replaced with smoother, more radiant skin after just one session. For those struggling with mild acne scarring or sun damage, microdermabrasion gradually fades these imperfections by removing damaged cells and stimulating fresh skin regeneration.
One of the most appreciated benefits among our clients is how microdermabrasion improves the effectiveness of skincare products. By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, your serums and moisturizers can penetrate up to 50% more effectively—essentially maximizing your investment in those premium products.
"I've tried countless products promising to give me that glow," shares Jennifer, a regular client at our Greenwood Village location. "But nothing made as much difference as adding monthly microdermabrasion treatments to my routine. My skin drinks in my products now, and that stubborn patch of sun damage from my college years has finally started to fade."
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your microdermabrasion experience at MD Body and Med Spa is designed to be comfortable and convenient. During the 30-60 minute treatment, you'll feel a mild scratching sensation and gentle vibration as the device moves across your skin. Many clients describe it as a light massage—nothing painful or uncomfortable.
Immediately after your treatment, your skin may look slightly pink, similar to how it might appear after a brisk walk on a cool day. You might also notice some tightness or mild dryness, but these effects typically disappear within 24 hours. Unlike chemical peels or laser treatments, there's virtually no downtime—you can immediately return to work, errands, or whatever else your day holds.
The only special care needed is sun protection. Your newly revealed skin is more susceptible to UV damage, so applying a broad-spectrum SPF becomes even more crucial in the days following treatment.
For truly transformative results, we typically recommend a series of 5-12 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Once you've achieved your desired results, maintenance treatments every 1-3 months help preserve your refreshed complexion.

3. Microneedling: Boost Collagen Naturally
Have you ever wished your skin could simply heal itself? That's exactly what microneedling encourages it to do. This fascinating treatment, also called collagen induction therapy, has become one of our most requested med spa facial treatments at MD Body and Med Spa—and for good reason.
How Microneedling Works
When you come in for microneedling, we use a specialized device containing ultra-fine, sterile needles that create thousands of tiny, invisible punctures in your skin's surface. Don't worry—it sounds more intense than it feels! These microscopic channels are actually a clever way to trigger your body's natural healing response.
Your skin responds to these micro-injuries by rushing to repair them, producing fresh collagen and elastin in the process. It's like giving your skin a gentle wake-up call, reminding it how to regenerate and refresh itself naturally. The tiny channels also allow us to deliver powerful serums directly where they'll do the most good—something your regular skincare routine simply can't achieve.
"I love explaining microneedling to my clients," says our senior aesthetician. "It's fascinating to see their expressions when they realize we're essentially tricking their skin into becoming younger and healthier all on its own."
Benefits of Microneedling
The beauty of microneedling is how versatile it is for addressing multiple skin concerns at once. After a series of treatments, you'll notice your skin becoming noticeably firmer and smoother as those new collagen fibers develop.
Fine lines and wrinkles begin to soften as your skin rebuilds from within. If you've struggled with acne scars or surgical scars, you'll be amazed at how microneedling can break down that rigid scar tissue, replacing it with fresh, normal skin texture. Many clients are thrilled to see their enlarged pores shrink and uneven skin tone balance out.
What makes microneedling particularly special is that it works beautifully on all skin types and colors. Unlike some laser treatments that carry risks for darker skin tones, microneedling safely treats everyone with minimal risk of pigmentation issues.
One of our clients, Jennifer, came to us frustrated after years of trying to fade acne scars: "I'd given up hope until trying microneedling. After my third session, I actually went out without foundation for the first time in years. The difference in my skin's texture is incredible."
Advanced Microneedling Options
At MD Body and Med Spa in Greenwood Village, we're proud to offer several advanced microneedling options to address your specific concerns:
Traditional Microneedling creates those beneficial microchannels with precisely controlled needle depths. This is perfect for general skin rejuvenation and addressing mild texture concerns.
RF Microneedling takes things up a notch by delivering radiofrequency energy through the needles. This heats the deeper skin layers, amplifying collagen production and adding a skin-tightening effect that's particularly effective for more mature skin.
Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) combines microneedling with the regenerative power of your body's own platelets. We draw a small amount of your blood, process it to concentrate the platelets, and apply this growth-factor-rich solution during your treatment. It's like supercharging your skin's healing response!
What to Expect During and After Treatment
When you arrive for your microneedling appointment, we'll first apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Most clients describe the sensation during treatment as mild pressure with occasional tingling—nothing too uncomfortable.
Immediately after your session, your skin will look quite flushed, similar to a sunburn. This is completely normal and actually a good sign that your skin is responding appropriately. You might also notice some tightness and mild swelling.
The recovery is remarkably quick for such an effective treatment. The initial redness typically fades within 24-48 hours. You might experience some light flaking as your skin renews itself, but this is easily managed with the gentle skincare products we'll recommend.
Most clients can return to their normal activities the very next day, though we do suggest avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours to let those microchannels close properly. And sunscreen becomes even more essential—your newly refreshed skin needs protection!
For truly transformative results, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Many clients are delighted to see noticeable improvements after just one session, but the magic really happens as those treatments build upon each other and your collagen production continues to increase over the following months.
"What I love most about microneedling," shares our lead aesthetician, "is watching my clients' confidence grow with each session. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone fall in love with their reflection again."

4. Hydrafacial: The Ultimate Skin Detox
If you've been searching for a facial that delivers instant results with zero downtime, look no further than the Hydrafacial. This powerhouse treatment has taken the skincare world by storm – with a Hydrafacial performed somewhere in the world every 15 seconds! What makes it so popular? It's the perfect combination of deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and intense hydration all wrapped up in one relaxing treatment.
How Hydrafacial Works
When you come in for your Hydrafacial at MD Body and Med Spa, you'll experience a truly unique treatment that follows a specific sequence designed for maximum results:
First, we start with the Cleanse & Peel step, where we gently exfoliate your skin to remove that dull outer layer and reveal the fresh, new skin beneath. Next comes everyone's favorite part – the Extract & Hydrate phase. This is where the magic happens! Using painless suction technology, we remove all those impurities from your pores while simultaneously infusing your skin with intense moisturizers. Finally, we Fuse & Protect by saturating your skin with antioxidants and peptides that leave you with that coveted "Hydrafacial glow."
What truly sets the Hydrafacial apart is its patented Vortex-Fusion® delivery system. Think of it as a mini whirlpool for your face – it creates a vortex effect that easily dislodges dirt and oil while delivering hydrating serums deep into your skin. It's like a power wash and deep conditioning treatment for your face, all at once!
Benefits of Hydrafacial
The beauty of the Hydrafacial is that it works for virtually everyone. Whether you're struggling with oily skin, dry patches, fine lines, or uneven tone, this treatment has you covered.
After a Hydrafacial, you'll notice immediately improved skin texture and tone – that's not just marketing talk, it's backed by science! A clinical study found that more than 80% of participants saw noticeable improvements after a series of treatments.
"Hydrafacial exfoliated my skin thoroughly while hydrating my skin," shared one of our clients after her first treatment. Another client told us, "I had the best experience with my Hydrafacial. I was greeted with smiling faces and immediately felt right at home. My skin has never looked better!"
Beyond the immediate glow, Hydrafacial reduces fine lines and wrinkles over time by promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It's excellent for oily and congested skin because it deep cleans without irritation, and it's a game-changer for those with enlarged pores because the gentle suction helps clear and tighten them.
If you struggle with uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation, you'll love how the Hydrafacial helps create a more balanced complexion. And unlike some aggressive treatments, Hydrafacial provides deep cleansing without irritation, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types.
Customized Boosters and Add-Ons
At MD Body and Med Spa, we believe no two faces are exactly alike – that's why we customize every Hydrafacial treatment to address your specific concerns. Think of our boosters as "power-ups" for your facial:
Struggling with dark spots? We'll add the Britenol Booster to target sun damage. Looking to turn back the clock? The Growth Factor Booster minimizes aging signs and improves overall skin health. For those pesky fine lines, our Dermabuilder Booster helps smooth and refine your skin texture. And if general discoloration is your concern, the Brightalive Booster creates a more even complexion.
We can even combine your Hydrafacial with complementary treatments like LED light therapy for even more dramatic results. It's all about creating the perfect treatment for your unique skin.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
One of the best things about the Hydrafacial? It's actually relaxing! Unlike some facial treatments that can be uncomfortable, most clients describe the Hydrafacial sensation as refreshing – like a cool massage for your face. And it only takes about 30-45 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for a lunch break beauty boost.
After your treatment, you'll notice the difference immediately. Your skin will have that coveted dewy glow, and you'll feel hydrated from the inside out. There's absolutely zero downtime – you can apply makeup right away if you want (though many clients love showing off their fresh-faced glow), and you can resume all normal activities immediately.
The results continue to improve in the days following your treatment as your skin absorbs all those nourishing ingredients. For truly optimal results, we recommend monthly med spa facial treatments to maintain your skin health and address ongoing concerns.
Ready to experience the Hydrafacial difference for yourself? Our team at MD Body and Med Spa is here to help you achieve your most radiant skin yet.

5. Exosome XO Facial: The Future of Anti-Aging
Move over, stem cells! Exosome therapy is revolutionizing the anti-aging landscape with its cutting-edge approach to skin rejuvenation. The Exosome XO Facial represents the next generation of med spa facial treatments, offering powerful regenerative benefits without the limitations of traditional stem cell therapies.
What Are Exosomes?
Think of exosomes as nature's tiny messengers of youth. These microscopic vesicles work like cellular text messages, delivering important regenerative instructions between your skin cells. About 1/1000th the size of a cell, these little powerhouses carry growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that essentially tell your skin cells to act younger.
What makes exosomes special is that they're not actual cells (unlike stem cells), but rather the beneficial compounds that stem cells naturally produce. This important distinction is why exosome therapy has become such a game-changer in skin rejuvenation – they're more precise, more concentrated, and potentially more effective at targeting specific skin concerns.
How Exosome XO Facial Works
At MD Body and Med Spa, we've perfected our Exosome XO Facial by combining two powerful techniques for maximum results. The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin to prepare it for what comes next. Then, we perform a gentle microneedling procedure that creates thousands of tiny channels in your skin's surface.
This is where the magic happens – we apply a concentrated solution of exosomes directly to your freshly treated skin. Those tiny channels allow the exosomes to penetrate deeply, where they can deliver their rejuvenating messages directly to your cells. It's like opening thousands of doorways for youth-boosting ingredients to enter.
"The first time I tried the Exosome XO Facial, I was amazed at how comfortable the treatment was," shares one of our regular clients. "But what really won me over were the results – my skin looked better at two weeks post-treatment than it had in years!"
Benefits of Exosome Therapy
The beauty of exosome therapy lies in its comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. Rather than just addressing a single concern, these powerful messengers work on multiple levels to transform your skin.
Increased elasticity and collagen are among the first benefits most clients notice, as exosomes signal your skin to ramp up its natural production of these essential proteins. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to soften and fade as your skin's structure improves from within. Those stubborn age spots and uneven tone that have bothered you for years? Exosomes help normalize pigment production for a more even complexion.
What truly sets exosome therapy apart is its ability to provide long-lasting results. Unlike treatments that offer a temporary fix, exosomes remain active in your skin for 6-8 months, continuously delivering their regenerative benefits. This means fewer treatments needed to maintain your results.
Our medical director puts it perfectly: "Exosomes have a thousand times stronger regenerative power due to numerous growth factors as compared to PRP. This makes them exceptionally effective for addressing multiple signs of aging simultaneously."
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your Exosome XO Facial experience at MD Body and Med Spa begins with a thorough consultation to understand your skin concerns. Before we start the actual treatment, we'll apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your complete comfort. The entire procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes, during which you can simply relax.
After your treatment, you might notice your skin looks a bit like you've spent too much time in the sun – slightly red and possibly a bit swollen. Don't worry! This is completely normal and typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Most of our clients return to their regular activities immediately after treatment, though we do recommend skipping makeup for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe.
What's truly remarkable about exosome therapy is how your results continue to improve over time. While you'll notice some immediate benefits, the real change happens in the weeks following your treatment as the exosomes work their magic. Your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant – all from your body's own natural processes, just with a little high-tech encouragement.
For best results, we typically recommend a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. This schedule allows your skin to fully respond to each treatment while maintaining your beautiful results long-term.
Why Choose Med Spa Facial Treatments Over Traditional Facials
When it comes to skincare, many people wonder about the difference between traditional day spa facials and med spa facial treatments. While both have their place in a comprehensive skincare routine, understanding the key differences can help you make the right choice for your skin concerns.
Day Spa Facials vs. Med Spa Facial Treatments
When I first explain the differences to my clients, I often use this simple comparison to help them understand what sets these treatments apart:
Feature Day Spa Facial Med Spa Facial Treatment Focus Relaxation and surface-level improvement Medical-grade treatment of specific skin concerns Depth of Treatment Works primarily on the epidermis (outer layer) Penetrates to deeper skin layers for lasting change Technology Basic tools and techniques Advanced medical-grade technology and devices Products Used Commercial-grade skincare products Medical-grade, higher-concentration products Provider Esthetician Medical esthetician supervised by medical professionals Results Temporary improvement, typically lasting days Longer-lasting results, often with progressive improvement Customization General protocols based on skin type Highly personalized based on specific skin concerns Cost Generally lower cost Higher investment with longer-lasting results
Day spa facials are wonderful for relaxation and giving your skin a quick refresh. They typically involve cleansing, gentle exfoliation, massage, and a mask using botanical ingredients. While they feel luxurious and provide a temporary glow, their effects usually fade within days.
Med spa facial treatments, on the other hand, go much deeper. At MD Body and Med Spa, we use medical-grade technology and higher concentrations of active ingredients to create actual changes in your skin's structure and function. Think of it this way: day spa facials are like washing and waxing your car, while med spa treatments are more like getting engine work done – they address the underlying mechanics.
Benefits of Med Spa Facial Treatments
When clients ask me why they should consider investing in med spa facial treatments, I share these key benefits that make them worth the investment:
First, we use medical-grade products and technology that simply aren't available at day spas. These professional-strength ingredients and advanced devices can address stubborn concerns like deep wrinkles, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation that regular facials just can't touch.
We also create truly personalized treatment plans at MD Body and Med Spa. Before recommending any treatment, we conduct a thorough skin analysis to understand your specific concerns, skin type, and goals. No two faces are identical, so your treatment shouldn't be either! This targeted approach ensures you're getting exactly what your skin needs.
Our treatments are performed by licensed medical aestheticians under physician supervision. This level of expertise means we can safely offer more intensive treatments and handle even complex skin concerns with confidence. As one client recently told me, "I love knowing that my treatments are backed by medical science, not just whatever product line the spa is selling this month."
We also take a comprehensive approach to your skin health. Rather than viewing each treatment as a standalone service, we often combine different modalities and recommend appropriate at-home care to maximize and maintain your results. It's about creating a complete skincare strategy, not just a one-off treatment.
Perhaps most importantly, med spa facial treatments promote long-term skin improvement. Instead of just providing a temporary glow, our treatments stimulate natural processes within your skin – like collagen production and cell turnover – leading to progressive improvement over time and more sustainable results.
Potential Side Effects and Risks
While med spa facial treatments are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, I always make sure my clients understand potential side effects:
After treatments like chemical peels or microneedling, you might experience temporary redness or sensitivity – this is actually a good sign that your skin is responding to the treatment. Some clients also notice mild swelling or, in rare cases, slight bruising, though these effects are typically minimal and short-lived.
Certain treatments like chemical peels can cause skin flaking or peeling as part of the normal healing process. This is actually the treatment working as intended – shedding damaged outer skin cells to reveal fresher skin beneath.
Almost all of our more intensive treatments will increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, which is why we always emphasize the importance of diligent sun protection afterward.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we take several steps to minimize these risks. Before any treatment, we conduct comprehensive consultations to ensure you're a good candidate. We customize every treatment plan based on your specific skin type and concerns. After your treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available for follow-up questions.
As one of our longtime clients put it, "The tiny bit of redness I get after my treatments is nothing compared to the compliments I receive in the weeks that follow. My skin has never looked better, and I know I'm in safe hands."
How Often Should You Get Med Spa Facial Treatments?
Finding the right rhythm for your med spa facial treatments isn't one-size-fits-all. Your perfect schedule depends on your unique skin, the specific treatments you're receiving, and what you're hoping to achieve. Think of it as creating your personal skincare symphony – each treatment plays its part at just the right moment.
Treatment Frequency Guidelines
Most med spa facial treatments follow a pattern of initial intensive treatments followed by regular maintenance. For chemical peels, you'll typically start with 3-6 treatments spaced about a month apart, then maintain with quarterly sessions. Microdermabrasion works best with more frequent initial sessions – usually 5-12 treatments every 2-4 weeks – before settling into a maintenance schedule every 1-3 months.
Microneedling requires a bit more recovery time between sessions, with most clients benefiting from 3-6 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by touch-ups every 6-12 months. The popular Hydrafacial shines as a monthly treatment both during initial correction and for ongoing maintenance. Our advanced Exosome Facial typically starts with 2-3 treatments spaced over several months, with results that can last 6-12 months before needing a refresh.
"I always tell my clients that consistency is the secret ingredient," shares our lead aesthetician. "Just like you wouldn't expect to transform your body with a single workout, your skin needs regular attention to truly transform. The good news is that as your skin improves, you can often space out treatments while still enjoying the benefits."
Factors Affecting Treatment Frequency
Your ideal treatment schedule is as unique as you are. If you're addressing deep wrinkles or significant scarring, you might need more frequent sessions initially. Our older clients typically benefit from more regular maintenance as natural collagen production slows with age.
Your lifestyle plays a huge role too. Excessive sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and high stress can all accelerate skin aging, potentially requiring more frequent treatments to maintain your results. On the flip side, clients who diligently follow their at-home skincare routines and protect their skin from the sun often enjoy longer-lasting results between professional treatments.
Many of our most satisfied clients combine different treatments for improved results. For example, alternating between Hydrafacials and chemical peels can address multiple skin concerns while giving your skin appropriate recovery time between more intensive treatments.
Creating a Personalized Treatment Plan
At MD Body and Med Spa, we believe your skin deserves a custom approach. During your consultation in our Greenwood Village location, we'll take the time to understand your skin's unique needs and challenges. We'll discuss your goals, lifestyle, and budget to create a treatment plan that works for your real life – not some idealized version of it.
For many clients, we recommend a rhythm that includes quarterly more intensive treatments like chemical peels or microneedling, complemented by monthly maintenance treatments such as Hydrafacial. This approach provides both immediate satisfaction and long-term improvement.
"The clients who see the most dramatic changes are those who view their med spa facial treatments as an ongoing journey rather than a one-time fix," notes our medical director. "When you commit to regular treatments and good home care, the results compound over time, often allowing you to space out treatments while still loving what you see in the mirror."

Frequently Asked Questions About Med Spa Facial Treatments
What are the main differences between a day spa facial and a medical spa facial?
Wondering why you should choose a medical spa facial over the one at your local day spa? It all comes down to depth and results.
Think of a day spa facial as a relaxing treat for your skin - it's like taking your face to a cozy massage. You'll enjoy a pampering session with pleasant-smelling products that leave your skin feeling refreshed for a few days. It's lovely, but temporary.
Med spa facial treatments take things to another level entirely. We perform these treatments in a medical setting using professional-grade products and advanced technologies that work below your skin's surface. Rather than just providing a nice experience, we're targeting specific skin concerns with treatments that create lasting changes in your skin's health and appearance.
Many clients tell us they love the immediate glow from a day spa facial but come to us when they want transformative results that actually change how their skin looks and behaves over time. By stimulating natural processes like collagen production and cellular turnover, med spa facial treatments don't just make your skin look better temporarily—they help rebuild it from within.
How do medical facials contribute to long-term skin health and rejuvenation?
The magic of med spa facial treatments lies in their ability to create changes that continue long after you leave our office.
When you receive treatments like microneedling or certain chemical peels, we're actually triggering your skin's natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production that continues for months after your visit. Rather than just putting a band-aid on skin issues, we're addressing root causes. For instance, instead of simply adding moisture to dry skin, we focus on repairing your skin's natural barrier function so it retains hydration better on its own.
Many clients are surprised to find that their skin actually looks better several weeks after treatment than it did immediately afterward! That's because these treatments offer cumulative benefits—your skin continues improving over time and with each session.
One of our clients, a 52-year-old woman who struggled with sun damage and loss of firmness, shared: "After six months of regular treatments, I'm not just seeing temporary improvements – my skin texture has fundamentally changed. My friends keep asking if I've had surgery because the difference is so dramatic."
Regular med spa facial treatments also serve as preventative care, maintaining optimal skin cell turnover and collagen levels before visible aging occurs. Plus, by removing barriers like dead skin cells and improving circulation, these treatments help your at-home skincare products penetrate better and work more effectively.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with medical facials?
While med spa facial treatments are generally very safe when performed by qualified professionals like our team, it's important to have realistic expectations about the experience and recovery.
Most clients experience some temporary side effects, which are actually signs that the treatment is working. These typically include mild redness and sensitivity (similar to a slight sunburn), some swelling, and occasionally light bruising. After treatments like chemical peels, your skin might flake or peel as it renews itself—this is completely normal and part of the process!
Almost all our treatments will make your skin more sensitive to the sun temporarily, which is why we'll always remind you about sunscreen (even though you're already using it daily, right?).
Less common risks might include hyperpigmentation (especially in darker skin tones), infection (rare when proper sterilization protocols are followed), scarring (extremely rare with proper technique and aftercare), or allergic reactions to products used.
At MD Body and Med Spa, we take multiple steps to ensure your safety and comfort:
Before any treatment, we conduct thorough consultations to evaluate your skin type, concerns, and medical history. When necessary, we perform patch tests to check for potential reactions to products. All our treatments are performed by licensed professionals with extensive training, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
We also check in with clients after treatments to monitor progress and address any concerns. Many clients tell us they appreciate our attention to detail and follow-up care.
One important thing to remember: always be completely honest about your medical history, including any skin conditions, allergies, medications, and previous treatments. This transparency helps us customize your treatment plan for maximum safety and results.
Conclusion
The world of med spa facial treatments offers truly transformative possibilities for your skin. From the exfoliating power of chemical peels and microdermabrasion to the cutting-edge technologies of Hydrafacial and Exosome therapy, these advanced procedures can address virtually any skin concern while fitting seamlessly into your busy life.
What makes med spa facial treatments truly special is their ability to work beyond just the surface level. Unlike traditional facials that might leave you glowing for a day or two, medical-grade treatments create lasting changes by stimulating your skin's natural healing and regenerative processes. The science behind these treatments is impressive, but the real magic is in the results you'll see when you look in the mirror.
I've seen how these treatments can transform not just skin, but confidence. One client recently told me, "I never thought I'd feel comfortable going makeup-free at my age, but after my treatment series, I actually prefer my natural skin now." That's the kind of life-changing result we love to see.
At MD Body and Med Spa in Greenwood Village, we believe beautiful skin starts with healthy skin. Our expert team takes the time to understand your unique concerns, lifestyle, and goals before creating a personalized treatment plan. We combine advanced techniques with genuine care to ensure you receive treatments that deliver real results for your specific needs.
Whether you're noticing the first signs of aging, struggling with stubborn acne, dealing with sun damage from Colorado's abundant sunshine, or simply want to maintain your skin's natural radiance, we're here to help you face the world with confidence.
Ready to experience the difference that professional med spa facial treatments can make? We'd love to meet you and discuss how we can help you achieve your skincare goals. Your journey to healthier, more radiant skin is just a consultation away.
