At Mandelic Medical Aesthetics in Waterford, Ontario, we offer a variety of professional facial treatments designed to address your unique skin concerns while providing a luxurious, relaxing experience.

Our facial services include customized facials, LED facials, and the O2toDerm Korean Glass Facial. Depending on your treatment and skin needs, we may incorporate professional exfoliation, extractions, facial massage, customized masks, LED light therapy, oxygen treatments, and targeted skincare products.

Whether your goal is deep hydration, clearer skin, improved texture, or simply a moment of relaxation, our facials are personalized to your skin.

A customized facial is a professional skincare treatment tailored to your individual skin type, concerns, and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine.

At Mandelic Medical Aesthetics, our customized facials may include a detailed skin assessment, double cleansing, steam, enzyme exfoliation, extractions, facial massage, targeted treatment masks, LED light therapy, and oxygen treatments.

Each facial is thoughtfully designed to balance visible skin improvements with a relaxing spa experience.

The O2toDerm Korean Glass Facial is designed to improve the appearance and feel of the skin through intensive hydration and personalized skincare.

Benefits include:

• A brighter, more radiant-looking complexion

• Improved surface hydration

• Smoother-looking skin texture

• A temporary plumping effect

• Reduced appearance of dehydration-related fine lines

• A refreshed, dewy, glass-like finish

• A relaxing professional skincare experience

This is a great option to do before a wedding or event.

A customized facial focuses on your individual skin concerns and may incorporate different treatment modalities depending on your needs.

The O2toDerm Korean Glass Facial is a more specialized treatment focused on hydration, radiance, and the signature glass-skin appearance, using oxygen dome technology and oxygen infusion.

Both treatments offer professional skincare and relaxation, but the Korean Glass Facial is particularly appealing for clients looking for a luminous, dewy complexion. This glass facial is also fantastic for those with sensitive skin or compromised barriers.

Extractions may be included in our customized facials and Korean Glass Facial when appropriate for your skin.

Professional extractions help remove certain types of clogged pores, such as blackheads and closed comedones, using techniques designed to minimize unnecessary trauma. Not all blemishes should be extracted, particularly deep, inflamed, or cystic lesions.

Your aesthetician will assess your skin before performing extractions.

Not everyone NEEDS extractions. Your aesthetician should be customizing your facial to fit the skin in front of them instead of copying or repeating a protocol that is the same for every client. Mature skin is thinner for example. If you are prone to scars or pigmentation or have a compromised barrier, extractions may not be appropriate. Instead, an exfoliating ingredient to keep the skin clean may be a better option.

Professional facials can temporarily improve skin hydration, smoothness, and radiance, which may soften the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.

Depending on your skin concerns, we may incorporate targeted skincare ingredients, facial massage, and other suitable modalities.

For more significant concerns such as deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, or skin laxity, we may recommend advanced treatments such as microneedling or professional skin resurfacing.

Many clients benefit from scheduling a professional facial approximately every 4–6 weeks, although the ideal frequency depends on your skin type, goals, home skincare routine, and the treatments performed.

Some clients visit monthly for ongoing skin maintenance, while others book seasonally or before special occasions.

At Mandelic Medical Aesthetics, we'll help create a treatment schedule that suits your skin and lifestyle.

Absolutely! A professional facial can be a wonderful way to prepare your skin for a wedding, vacation, photoshoot, or special occasion.

For a gentle, hydration-focused treatment, many clients prefer scheduling their facial several days before an event.

If you're trying a new facial, have sensitive skin, or require extractions or exfoliation, booking further in advance allows time to assess your skin's response.

Our Korean Glass Facial is a popular type of treatment for clients seeking a hydrated, luminous complexion before a special occasion.

To get the most out of your professional facial treatment, a little preparation goes a long way! Whether you're booking a customized facial or our O2toDerm Korean Glass Facial at Mandelic Medical Aesthetics in Waterford, Ontario, we recommend the following:

• Avoid strong active ingredients: Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), and harsh scrubs approximately 2–3 days before your appointment, unless otherwise directed.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure: Stay away from tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure, especially if your skin is sunburned or irritated.

• Avoid waxing or other exfoliating treatments: Allow your skin time to recover from waxing, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other resurfacing procedures.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and maintain your regular gentle skincare routine.

• Arrive makeup-free if possible: This isn't required, as we'll thoroughly cleanse your skin during your treatment.

• Communicate any skin concerns: Let us know about allergies, medications, recent cosmetic procedures, pregnancy, or changes in your skin.

Most importantly, come ready to relax! Every facial at Mandelic Medical Aesthetics is customized to your skin's needs, so we'll take care of the rest.

After your professional facial at Mandelic Medical Aesthetics, your skin may be more sensitive than usual, especially if your treatment included exfoliation or extractions. Following proper aftercare helps minimize irritation and maintain your beautiful results.

For the first 24–48 hours after your facial, we generally recommend:

• Avoid active skincare ingredients: Temporarily discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), vitamin C products that may cause irritation, and harsh scrubs.

• Avoid excessive heat: Skip saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and intense workouts that cause excessive sweating.

• Avoid direct sun exposure: Protect your freshly treated skin from UV damage and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.

• Avoid picking or touching your skin: Allow any areas treated with extractions to heal naturally.

• Avoid additional exfoliation: Give your skin time to recover before using exfoliating products or booking another resurfacing treatment.

• Limit heavy makeup: If your skin is sensitive or you've had extractions, consider avoiding heavy makeup for the remainder of the day.

Keep your skincare simple! Focus on gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection. Your aesthetician will provide personalized aftercare recommendations based on your skin type and the treatments performed.
