Why Choose Medical-Grade Skincare vs Over-the-Counter Products

  • Blogs

Cannelle offers medical-grade skincare with proven formulations, deeper penetration and targeted treatment for pigmentation, ageing and acne.

Why choose medical-grade skincare vs over-the-counter products?

Medical-grade skincare products offer several advantages over over-the-counter (OTC) products, making them a superior choice for those seeking effective and reliable skincare solutions. They contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, resulting in more potent formulations that can deliver noticeable and quicker results for various skin concerns, such as ageing, acne, and hyperpigmentation. These products are often backed by clinical studies and research, ensuring their efficacy and safety. Developed and tested by dermatologists and skincare professionals, these formulations are rigorously evaluated to provide proven results.

When you use medical-grade skincare, you typically receive a personalised skincare regimen tailored to your specific skin type and concerns. Medical-grade skincare products are manufactured to higher quality standards, often in FDA-regulated facilities, ensuring that the products are free from contaminants, consistently effective, and safe for long-term use.

These products are formulated to penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the underlying layers where they can have the most impact. This enhanced absorption means that the active ingredients can work more effectively to treat skin issues at their source. Using medical-grade skincare often involves consultation with a skincare professional who can provide expert advice and adjust your regimen as needed. This ongoing support helps you achieve and maintain optimal skin health, offering guidance on product usage and combining treatments for best results.

Medical-grade products are designed to address specific skin concerns, such as severe acne, rosacea, and deep wrinkles, which may not be effectively treated with OTC products. This targeted approach ensures that you are using the best possible solution for your unique needs, whether it’s reducing fine lines, evening out skin tone, or treating chronic conditions. Consistent use of medical-grade skincare can lead to long-term improvements in skin health. These products not only address current skin issues but also work to prevent future problems, promoting overall skin health and resilience.

By choosing medical-grade skincare, you are investing in products that offer superior efficacy, safety, and personalised care, leading to healthier, more radiant skin. This investment not only addresses immediate skin concerns but also contributes to long-term skin health and vitality.

A solution for smoother and softer feet

Are you struggling with dry skin on your feet or just looking to treat yourself to a spa day? Look no further! Try out a callus peel with Cannelle Medispa and get sandal-ready feet this summer. Here’s what you need to know about this fantastic treatment.

What is a Callus Peel?

A callus peel is a revitalising foot treatment for those who need a little extra TLC for their feet. It removes hard, callused skin and adds moisture, leaving your feet soft, smooth, and ready to show off.

How It Works:

Skin Softener Patch: A special skin softener patch is applied to the areas with the most hard skin, such as heels or the sides of toes.
Wrapping: Your feet are wrapped to hold the patch in place. After a few minutes, the patch and wrapping are removed, exposing softened skin which is then gently and painlessly scraped away. This stage is painless, and some clients even compare the feeling to having a reflexology treatment.
Foot File: The remaining skin is polished with a foot file, which clients find very relaxing. This step ensures that all remaining hard skin is removed, leaving your feet smooth and soft.
Moisturising Treatment: Finally, a deeply moisturising treatment is applied to keep your feet feeling and looking amazing for as long as possible.
Important Note:

If you have very dry, painful heels, extremely thick calluses, or corns, it’s best to consult with a podiatrist before booking a callus peel. This ensures you get the most appropriate care for your feet.

How Often Should You Get This Treatment?

For those without severe hard skin or cracked heels, a callus peel can last a while. If you frequently experience discomfort, consider incorporating callus peels into your regular pedicure routine for continuous relief and maintenance. The instant results are bound to keep you hooked!

Why Choose a Callus Peel?

Calluses usually appear from the daily strains we put on our feet, whether it’s due to dry skin, large amounts of walking, or the types of shoes we wear. Calluses are a common issue, but they don’t need to be a problem with quick, easy, and painless callus treatments. Think of it like taking your feet to a spa for the day, except it only takes ten minutes! The process is safe, hygienic, and performed by trained professionals, so you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Ready for Softer, Smoother Feet?

If you’re ready to show off your feet in cute flip-flops this summer, it’s time for a makeover! Book a pedicure with Cannelle Medispa and get the feet of your dreams. Life is too short to feel insecure about your feet!

Book now and treat your feet to the pampering they deserve.

#OxfordSkinClinic #SkinCareOxford #AestheticsOxford #SkinClinicSummertown #SkinSpecialistOxfordPATIENT SPOTLIGHT: Jade ✨

Jade came to us for subtle facial rejuvenation — focusing on gentle, natural tweaks to refresh her skin and enhance overall facial balance.

Having spent time researching aesthetic clinics in Oxfordshire, she wanted somewhere doctor-led, trustworthy, and guided by expertise rather than trends. What stood out to her about Dr. Mattia was his honest, non-biased approach — always prioritising what’s right for the patient and what will look natural long-term.

During her consultation, Jade shared that her main goal was to achieve more facial symmetry while maintaining her natural look. Together, we created a personalised treatment plan designed to enhance her features subtly and restore a refreshed, harmonious appearance.

The result? A confident, radiant version of herself — balanced, natural, and true to her. 🤍
