MEDICAL-GRADE FACIALS AT NEXUS

Want a medical facial that does more than a regular spa cleanse?

Dr Samantha's facials go beyond cleansing. ProLite tones, ProFacial infuses actives via different heads, ProAcne tackles bacteria and congestion. Most patients see a difference after one session and there is no pressure to buy a package.

Which protocol fits which skin concern

ProLite quick cleanse (SGD 200)

ProLite quick cleanse (SGD 200)

Three-step cleanse using standard cleanse heads. 30 minutes. No infusion layer. Best for monthly maintenance, congested pores, dull surface tone.

ProFacial Lift / Glow / Bright (SGD 280)

ProFacial Lift / Glow / Bright (SGD 280)

Cleanse plus a fourth serum-infusion step. 45-60 minutes. Pick Lift (firming), Glow (radiance), or Bright (tone evening) at consultation based on the session goal.

ProAcne (SGD 280)

ProAcne (SGD 280)

The multi-step protocol dialled for active mild-to-moderate acne. Cleanse, extraction, and post-extraction recovery focus.

ProFacial Back (SGD 380)

ProFacial Back (SGD 380)

The protocol applied to the upper back for body-acne patients. Larger surface area extends session duration.

Rejuran Glow White Booster (SGD 280)

Polynucleotide brightening booster

Optional add-on at the same visit. Esther infuses a polynucleotide brightening booster via a microneedling pen for tone and surface glow. Separate mechanism, separate pricing; see the Rejuran Healer page for details.

Rejuran Glow White Booster Eye (SGD 220)

Under-eye polynucleotide booster

Same family booster but adapted for the periorbital zone. Microneedled gently into the under-eye area for surface tone work.

Which medical facial protocol (ProLite, ProFacial, or ProAcne) your skin actually needs

A medical facial is delivered by a clinic using a clinical-grade multi-step machine, with a doctor on premises and a treatment plan that's matched to the patient's skin assessment. A regular spa facial is delivered by an aesthetician at a wellness setting using consumer-grade products and a fixed routine.

At Nexus, every medical facial runs through the same single multi-step machine. Different head attachments deliver different steps. The base protocol is ProLite (cleanse only, three steps). The full protocol is ProFacial, which adds serum infusion via dedicated infusion heads at the end of the cleanse cycle.

Three mechanical steps, one console
  1. Step 1

    Aqua peel cleanse

    Dome-tip glides across the skin; gentle suction lifts dead cells while water-based serum flows continuously. Skin stays hydrated, not scraped.

  2. Step 2

    Targeted extraction

    Same handpiece, higher suction. Water softens sebum simultaneously, gentler than manual extraction.

  3. Step 3

    Serum infusion (full protocols only)

    Second head attachment delivers a treatment serum into freshly cleansed skin. Different serums match different session goals.

All four protocols (ProLite, ProFacial, ProAcne, ProFacial Back) run on the same console; the difference is which heads are used and which serum is loaded.

Why the three-step protocol sequence matters

How serum-infusion heads customise each Hydrafacial-style treatment

Dr Samantha's clinic uses a single clinical-grade machine for all four standard medical facial protocols. The head attachments change between steps, but the underlying device, vacuum, and infusion mechanism stays consistent. This is deliberate.

  • Consistency: one machine means one calibration, one cleaning protocol, one set of consumables Yumi and Esther are trained on. Easier to deliver the same quality across every booking.
  • Patient matching: rather than booking a brand-named template, the protocol is matched to skin type and concern at consultation. Active acne patients route to ProAcne. Maintenance patients route to ProLite. Event-prep patients route to ProFacial with the serum that fits the glow / lift / brighten outcome.
  • Polynucleotide brightening boosters sit outside the multi-step machine path. They use a microneedling pen instead. This is a deliberate separation because the booster vehicle is different and the mechanism is brightening, not cleansing.

How the ProAcne protocol reduces bacteria with gentle extractions

Suitable for

Suitable for

  • Monthly maintenance. Congested pores, dull tone, mild texture concerns.
  • Pre-event preparation. Wedding, photoshoot, social event 7 to 14 days out.
  • Active mild-to-moderate acne. ProAcne protocol focuses on extraction and post-extraction recovery.
  • Body acne on the upper back. ProFacial Back protocol is dialled for that area.
Take care

Pause first

  • Currently using prescription tretinoin or retinol. Pause 5 to 7 days before any extraction-based facial.
  • Active inflammatory acne with weeping lesions. See Dr Samantha first; we may delay to oral or topical treatment.
  • Recent ablative laser or peel (under 7 days). Let the barrier recover before extraction.
  • Patients expecting permanent results from one session. Facials are maintenance, not transformation.

How the Rejuran Glow White Booster add-on combines microneedling with growth-factor serum

ProFacial session steps
  1. Step 1, 5 min

    Skin assessment + protocol match

    Esther reviews your skin, recent products, any active flares. Confirms ProLite vs ProFacial vs ProAcne and which serum (Lift / Glow / Bright) suits the visit.

  2. Step 2, 5 min

    Cleanse + preparation

    Standard cleanser + skin prep using the first cleanse head. Removes surface oils and product residue before the deeper steps.

  3. Step 3, 10-15 min

    Multi-step extraction

    The vacuum cleanse heads sweep across the T-zone, cheeks, and chin. Comedones lift via the suction. Standard across ProLite and ProFacial.

  4. Step 4, 10 min

    Serum infusion (ProFacial only)

    The infusion head delivers the Lift / Glow / Bright serum into the freshly cleansed skin. ProLite skips this step.

  5. Step 5, 5 min

    Cool down + aftercare brief

    Cool compress, sunscreen application, brief on the next 24 hours. Most patients return to work or events the same day with minimal redness.

Side effects and recovery for a medical facial

Worth knowing

Common (most patients)

  • Mild redness for 30 to 60 minutes post-session, especially around the cheek and chin extraction zones.
  • Skin feels tighter and cleaner for the rest of the day. Most patients reapply moisturiser that evening.
  • Small bumps may appear 24 to 48 hours post-extraction as deeper comedones surface. Usually settle within 3 to 4 days.
Take care

Less common

  • Localised tenderness at heavily extracted zones for 24 hours.
  • Mild dryness if you used active retinoids in the preceding week.
  • Post-extraction redness lasting beyond 24 hours. Escalate to Dr Samantha if it persists past day 3.

Medical facial pricing context in Singapore

Medical facial pricing in Singapore typically sits in the SGD 180 to SGD 400 per session range, depending on the protocol and add-on actives. Current per-session pricing at Nexus is shown in the treatment menu above. Medical facials are not Medisave-claimable in Singapore.

Aftercare for a medical facial session

Aftercare phases
  1. Day 0

    Skip actives + protect

    No retinoids, no AHA / BHA, no vitamin C serum for 24 hours. Sunscreen on if you're heading outside. Most patients can wear makeup the same evening if needed.

  2. Day 1 to 3

    Barrier + hydration

    Hyaluronic acid + ceramide moisturiser twice daily. Avoid hot showers and direct sun for the first 48 hours. Drink more water than usual.

  3. Day 4+

    Resume normal routine

    Reintroduce actives gradually, lower frequency than usual for the first week. Schedule the next session based on the cadence Esther recommends.

Esther sends a brief aftercare summary via WhatsApp post-session.

Why medical facials sit in Dr Samantha's monthly maintenance protocol

  • Doctor-on-premises: if the skin assessment surfaces something beyond a facial (active acne, pigmentation, structural concern), Dr Samantha is on-site to consult in the same visit.
  • Consistent device + trained staff: Yumi and Esther deliver every session on the same multi-step machine. No brand swapping, no calibration drift between visits.
medical facial before and after
  • Protocol-matched, not template-named: the protocol is selected at consultation based on skin, not a fixed brand template. Active acne patients don't end up booked into a glow protocol.
  • Polynucleotide brightening add-on available at the same visit for patients who want both the facial cleanse and a separate surface-glow booster, without booking a second appointment.
  • Same-day return: minimal redness, no downtime. Most patients return to work or events the same day.
