If you’ve booked a facial for “something that freaks me out like enlarged pores, that bizarre wrinkle that won’t go away, or a patch of darker skin”, you’ve already done a medi-facial: what the industry bigwigs call a facial that is designed specifically to treat a skin condition.
With EPION Aesthetic’s Black Diamond medi-facial however, is when the concept becomes even simpler. Smooth the skin down, trigger increased levels of collagen, and then take a nap when the doctor applies a detoxifying charcoal mask over.
Here, Doctor Melvin Tan takes us through the treatment.

For the Black Diamond medi-facial, it feels like it could work for people who really, just want brighter clearer skin. Would you agree?
Yes, that’s correct. The black diamond medi-facial’s unique combination of aqua-cleansing and diamond microdermabrasion offers excellent deep cleaning and thorough exfoliation of the skin. It is particularly effective for robust, oily, breakout-prone skin and hence, is extremely popular with men.
Regarding the unique aqua cleansing system, how does it work?
A cleansing solution is released from the central aperture of the treatment tip and quickly sucked back in from the periphery of the tip. The skin is cleansed through this flow of solution as well as by the ingredients in the solution itself.

Is the charcoal mask used at the end of the treatment specially made for EPION Clinic? I’m assuming so, haha. What makes it much different then?
It is a detoxifying mask, effective at drawing out impurities from the skin. It is also cold and soothing for the skin at the end of the treatment.
Based on a review I read online, the black diamond medi-facial feels like something that can potentially put people to sleep!
Yes, it is not painful or even uncomfortable at all.

Actually, what is a medi-facial? If you’re able to explain it as simply as possible, that’ll be fantastic.
A medi-facial is a facial treatment we use to treat certain skin conditions such as acne, sensitive skin, and skin laxity for example. It often involves the use of machines and/or medical-grade peels and serums.
What are the immediate results then? And how often does one have to go to “strengthen” it or sustain it?
Immediately after the treatment, the skin feels cleaner, polished, and well-exfoliated with fewer blackheads. Over time with repeated treatments, the skin will be less oily with less frequent breakouts and smaller pores.
For the black diamond medi-facial, we recommend doing it every three to four weeks.
