We all know the feeling of reaching the end of a long week and craving a little pick-me-up.
For many, that means a trip to the spa. But what if there was somewhere you could enjoy the same relaxing experience while also giving your skin something more?
At our Skin Suite in Hamilton, we offer medical facials that combine indulgence with science-backed skincare [1].
A traditional spa facial is often seen as a treat, but medical facials take things a step further. By pairing clinical-grade formulations with advanced techniques, they don’t just give your skin an instant glow but also work to improve skin health over time [2][8].
Facials aren’t simply about relaxation at our Hamilton clinic – they’re targeted treatments designed to support your skin health at a cellular level [1][2].

What Makes a Facial ‘Medical Grade’
A medical-grade facial isn’t defined by the ambience but by its science. Unlike spa facials, which often rely on soothing textures and pleasant scents, medical facials are powered by clinically proven formulations containing high concentrations of active ingredients [2][5][7].
The key ingredients you’ll find in a medical facial include:

The techniques used in medical facials also go far beyond surface-level relaxation. Medical facial treatments at our Skin Suite involve clinical-grade extractions, advanced layering methods, and technology-assisted delivery systems that ensure active ingredients are absorbed where they’re needed most [3][8].
Rather than simply softening the skin for a few hours, these facials aim to improve long-term skin health, tackling everything from fine lines and pigmentation to dullness and breakouts [4][9].
This approach makes medical facials results-led, not just relaxing.
While you still enjoy the calming environment of the Skin Suite, the true focus is lasting improvements to skin vitality [4][8]. That’s why patients searching for medical facials in Hamilton often turn to our Skin Suite.
It’s where the elegance of a pampering experience meets the precision of dermatological science.


Why We Use HydroPeptide in the Skin Suite
At the Skin Suite Hamilton, every detail matters, even down to the products we choose. That’s why Dr Lauren personally curates each treatment pathway, making sure HydroPeptide facials aren’t just another option on the menu, but a cornerstone of the Skin Suite experience [6].
Rooted in advanced peptide skincare science, HydroPeptide formulations use signalling molecules to stimulate collagen, enhance elasticity, and support the skin’s natural repair processes [2][6]. These peptide fragments act like messengers, encouraging the skin to behave as though it were younger and healthier, repairing damage, strengthening the barrier, and restoring resilience [2][3].
What makes these facials so effective is their ability to combine instant gratification with long-term results. Unlike many over-the-counter formulas that only hydrate the surface, HydroPeptide facials are designed to create cumulative improvements with each treatment [9][10].
Patients love the luxurious textures and immediate post-treatment glow, but the real transformation lies in the gradual, science-backed renewal that unfolds over time [5][8].
Who It’s For
Medical-grade facials adapt to meet your skin where it’s at. They’re ideal for first-time skincare patients who want professional guidance, as well as long-term enthusiasts who value maintenance and prevention [3][7].

At our Skin Suite in Hamilton, no two facials are the same; each treatment plan is customised based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals [1].
What a Skin Suite Facial Includes
A medical-grade facial at Dr Lauren Medical Aesthetic Clinic is more than a one-off treatment. It’s a carefully designed treatment pathway from start to finish. Every appointment begins with a detailed skin consultation to understand your concerns and assess your skin’s needs [8].
From there, your skin therpist tailors a sequence of treatments, which may include:

This blend of precision and luxury ensures that your facial isn’t just effective on the day, it’s a stepping stone towards lasting skin transformation [10].
Why Skin Health Is the Foundation
At the Skin Suite, we believe every pathway starts with skin health because it underpins lasting results [1][10].
A medical facial is more than a surface treatment, it is a clinically informed experience that strengthens, repairs, and renews the skin at a cellular level [2][8]. By prioritising skin integrity, each step that follows, whether it’s an anti-ageing facial, corrective care, or advanced procedures, delivers more effective and sustainable outcomes [7][9].
Medical facials enhance resilience, hydration, and balance, creating the conditions for skin to function at its best [3][5].
Ultimately, skin health is not an afterthought, it is the starting point. At our Skin Suite in Hamilton, every treatment plan begins here, building a foundation for results that are both transformative and enduring [1][7].
