A medical-grade facial at NPMD is a customized professional skin treatment designed to leave the complexion cleaner, brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking while respecting the skin barrier. The plan may include deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, hydration support, calming care, extractions when appropriate, and treatment sequencing based on what your skin actually needs.
This page is intentionally distinct from a basic spa facial and from device or peel-based resurfacing. Here, “medical-grade” means consultation-led skin planning, professional product selection, and realistic guidance about when a facial is enough and when another treatment category would be smarter.
Medical-grade facials are best for skin-quality maintenance and visible refresh. They can support cleaner pores, smoother surface texture, better hydration, brighter tone, and a healthier-looking glow without the downtime of stronger resurfacing treatments.
The broader Facials page covers general professional facial treatments. A medical-grade facial is positioned more specifically around clinic-guided skin assessment, product selection, and next-step planning for patients who want a more intentional maintenance facial.
During consultation, we may compare this service with Hydrafacial, Aquafirme, Dermaplaning Facial, Chemical Peels, or Microneedling Facial depending on whether hydration, congestion, exfoliation, texture, or discoloration is the main concern.
The consultation helps decide how gentle or corrective the facial should be. This matters because over-exfoliating, aggressive extractions, or stacking too many active products can irritate the barrier and work against the glow patients are trying to create.
Treatment typically starts with cleansing and skin assessment. Depending on the plan, the visit may include exfoliation, steam or softening steps, careful extractions, hydrating or calming masks, targeted serums, barrier support, and post-treatment product guidance.
The goal is not to scrub the skin into looking “done.” The better endpoint is skin that looks clean, calm, hydrated, and refreshed. If the skin is reactive, inflamed, over-exfoliated, or actively flaring, we may simplify the facial or recommend stabilizing the barrier before adding stronger steps.

Most medical-grade facials have little downtime, but the skin may look pink, feel sensitive, or feel temporarily tight after cleansing, exfoliation, or extractions. Some patients experience mild dryness or a short breakout/purging phase depending on skin congestion and the protocol used.
Aftercare usually focuses on gentle cleansing, hydration, barrier support, avoiding unnecessary picking or scrubbing, and using sun protection. If stronger exfoliation is used, we explain when retinoids, acids, exfoliating products, makeup, heat, and exercise can safely resume.
A medical-grade facial can create a refreshed look quickly, but the best results usually come from matching the facial to a realistic maintenance rhythm and home routine. For some patients, that means monthly maintenance. For others, it means a facial between more corrective treatments or before events.
If deeper concerns are present, we may use the facial as a starting point and then discuss Chemical Peels, Microneedling with PRP, RF Microneedling, or CO2 Laser Acne Scar Treatment.

NPMD; Amy, one of the smartest, kindest, compassionate and brilliant Nurse Practitioners. She offers expert medical care and medical advice in a way that you understand. When she examines you and reviews your medical issues, not one detail is missed. she explains treatment options for you in a manner that is precise, individualized and understandable. When she discusses your medical problems she is so kind, soft spoken, you can feel the discussion is coming from her heart, her deep understanding of medicine and human mankind. When you are with her YOU are not a patient with a chart number and a hurried 15 minute office visit. You are sitting with a person that makes you feel you count and that you are part of her medical family. I have been coming to NPMD since it's opening in Encino, Ca. The office is very clean and quite beautiful. George, RN is so nice and so smart as well. Amy's entire staff duplicate her and her vision for what 5 star medical care should be. By the way if you are thirsty the office has the best coffee, made just for you as well as a variety of cold healthy beverages to drink. The location is easy to get to and the parking is relatively inexpensive, compared to most LA parking. My husband comes here now and every time I get a chance I always recommend that my friends or just people I speak to come to NPMD. If you can just come and visit NPMD, I am well, thriving and very very happy with the care and attention I receive for this unbelievable practice. Thank You NPMD and Amy

NPMD is not your typical type of care — they are rare and one of a kind. The professionalism takes your entire expectation to the next level. Let me begin by saying, when you step into the clinic, it feels like a luxury health center. Amy has been a blessing sent to my family and me. I could go on about her forever. She values each and every one of her patients. She explains everything clearly and makes sure all of your questions are answered. My healthcare needs have become so much easier because of her. George goes above and beyond for us... He has been so patient and kind with my 10,000 questions. No matter how busy he is, he always makes sure to be available to help. One thing I can say is that he will be sure to cure you with his big smile and energy, even on your worst day. I just want to say your work made me look so flawless and natural. I’m so glad to have found you both. Thank you to you and your staff for making us all feel so welcomed. NPMD is where love, care, perfection, and excellence come together!!!
