SkinCeuticals Classic Facial in Pointe-Claire & the West Island
The SkinCeuticals Classic Facial is a clinical facial built on pharmaceutical-grade SkinCeuticals active ingredients. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, targeted serums, and a masque, customized to your skin on the day rather than following a fixed routine.
At GhalMédica in Pointe-Claire, the facial is performed by our medical aestheticians under physician oversight. It suits dullness, dehydration, uneven texture, and ongoing skin-health maintenance, and requires no downtime.
GhalMédica serves patients from Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Dorval, Vaudreuil, and the greater Montreal area. Results vary.
Treatment time is approximately 45 to 60 minutes with no downtime. Skin appears clearer and more radiant immediately. Monthly sessions suit an ongoing skin-health regimen.
Results vary. A consultation is recommended to determine suitability.
Book a ConsultationWhat the Facial Addresses
Dullness & Dehydration
Cleansing, exfoliation, and active serums restore a rested, radiant surface in a single session.
Uneven Texture
Gentle exfoliation with SkinCeuticals actives smooths texture without the downtime of more intensive treatments.
Maintenance & Skin Health
A considered choice for maintaining skin health between clinical treatments and supporting an active home regimen.
Pre-Event Radiance
With no downtime, the facial is well suited before an event when skin needs to look rested the same day.
The GhalMédica Approach
A facial in a physician-led clinic is held to a clinical standard. The actives are pharmaceutical-grade, the protocol is matched to your skin on the day, and the setting is medical rather than purely relaxational.
Assessment First
Each facial begins with a skin assessment so the serums and exfoliation match your skin that day, not a fixed routine.
Medical-Grade System
The facial is built on pharmaceutical-grade SkinCeuticals actives, selected for compatibility with your skin and concern.
Performed Under Physician Oversight
Treatments are delivered by medical aestheticians in a clinic under the medical direction of Dr. Sonya Ghalehii, MD, Medical Director.
Part of a Regimen
The facial is most effective as part of a consistent skin-health plan, including a supportive home routine.
Pre-Treatment Care
48 Hours Before
Avoid strong exfoliation, retinoids, and high-strength acids as directed, so the skin is not over-sensitized before the facial.
Day of Treatment
Arrive with clean skin where possible. Avoid prolonged sun in the hours before, and let your practitioner know of any recent treatments.
Inform Your Practitioner
Disclose any active skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, or active breakouts, and any known product sensitivities.
Timing
If booking before an event, allow a day or two so any mild flushing has fully settled and the skin looks its best.
Pre-treatment instructions follow Canadian dermatology and aesthetic medicine best practices. Your GhalMédica practitioner will provide personalized guidance at consultation.
Post-Treatment Care
First Few Hours
Where possible, avoid heavy makeup so the active serums can settle. Mild temporary redness can occur and typically resolves quickly.
Sun Protection
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher before any sun exposure. Exfoliation can temporarily increase sensitivity to UV.
Skincare
Reintroduce retinoids and exfoliating acids gradually, typically after 24 to 48 hours, and prioritize hydration and barrier support.
Ongoing
The facial works best as part of a regular regimen. Monthly sessions suit ongoing radiance. Your practitioner will recommend a frequency for your skin.
Post-treatment instructions follow Canadian dermatology and aesthetic medicine best practices. If you experience prolonged irritation or an unusual reaction, contact GhalMédica promptly.

It addresses dullness, dehydration, and uneven texture, and supports ongoing skin health, using pharmaceutical-grade SkinCeuticals actives customized to your skin. Results vary.
What makes it different from a spa facial?
It is delivered in a physician-led clinic using pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients, with the protocol matched to your skin on the day. The focus is clinical skin health rather than relaxation alone, though it is still a comfortable experience.

Often, yes. The protocol is adjusted to the skin's condition, and the actives are selected accordingly. Active or inflamed conditions are assessed at the appointment, and the facial is adapted or postponed if needed.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. The facial is often used to maintain skin health between treatments such as chemical peels, SkinPen microneedling, or BelaMD. Sequencing is determined by your practitioner.
