QMS Medicosmetics Facials South Africa

A QMS Medicosmetics Facial is ideal for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin and address ageing skin concerns. It’s especially suitable for those aiming to improve collagen production, skin texture, and pigmentation. 

The treatment can be applied to a wide range of skin types and is safe to undergo during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

Before undergoing a QMS facial, a professional consultation is recommended to tailor the treatment to your specific skin needs and goals.

A QMS Medicosmetics Facial begins with a personalised skin analysis to identify specific skin concerns and tailor the treatment to your individual needs. 

The facial combines a high concentration of active ingredients with advanced bioengineering techniques to produce collagen, rejuvenate the skin, and correct pigmentation. The process involves deep cleansing and the application of fruit acids, providing an immediate anti-ageing effect and a post-treatment glow.

The treatment’s effectiveness is further enhanced by the stimulation and maturation of new collagen in the skin, which continues for up to 90 days, ensuring the best results about 3 months post-treatment. 

This comprehensive approach to skincare not only delivers immediate improvements but also contributes to long-term skin health and radiance. 

Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, QMS Medicosmetics Facials are a preferred choice for those seeking a safe, effective, and luxurious skincare experience.

How soon after a QMS Medicosmetics Facial you can expect to see results will depend on your individual skin. Most clients experience an immediate post-treatment glow.

For full results, including enhanced skin texture and tone, improvements typically become noticeable within 2–4 weeks. Ongoing results are maintained through regular treatments.

While many clients notice improvements after the first treatment, the total number of sessions they undergo will depend on their individual skin concerns and the severity of these concerns. 

A consultation with a Skincare Specialist is essential to create a personalised treatment plan, which includes the recommended number of facials needed for optimal results, based on the client’s unique skin condition and goals.

For best results, it is typically recommended that you schedule QMS Medicosmetics Facials 4–6 weeks apart. Undergoing treatments on a regular basis optimises skin renewal and maintains improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin health. Consistent facials help sustain and enhance the benefits of the treatment, ensuring long-term skin rejuvenation and radiance.

Patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Any mild redness or sensitivity usually subsides quickly.
