What is a prescriptive facial?

Columbus prescriptive facials are relaxing and therapeutic treatments designed to address the specific needs of your skin.

What is the difference between a facial and a prescriptive facial?

The products used for a prescriptive facial are determined by Dr. Sullivan during your consultation. Who better than a board certified facial plastic surgeon to prescribe the products that will be the most beneficial in addressing your concerns? Our medical aesthetician,, Dina Maynard, is thoroughly trained by Dr. Sullivan to address a multitude of skin conditions, from teenage skin problems, to fragility following surgery, to peri- and post-menopausal conditions.

What can I expect before, during, and after my prescriptive facial?

Prior to the start of your facial, our medical aestheticianwill walk you through an analysis of the current skin condition and explain each available product. Under the direction of Dr. Sullivan, our medical aesthetician will recommend a treatment plan. We will encourage you to simply relax and enjoy the benefits of your prescriptive facial, which may include healthier, more youthful-looking skin, as well as protective treatments to prevent further damage from the elements. You will leave feeling refreshed and revitalized.

How often is a prescriptive facial needed?

Prescriptive facials are the most beneficial when performed on a regular basis. We call it preventative maintenance. Some patients choose to have their prescriptive facial weekly, some bi-monthly and others monthly. Our medical aesthetician will customize a treatment plan that fits into your lifestyle.

Is there any downtime with a prescriptive facial?

You will experience no real downtime after a prescriptive facial. In most cases, you can immediately re-apply your makeup and continue with your normal routine. Dr. Sullivan does recommend that you wear sunscreen at all times following your facial.
