There is a significant difference between a face that looks clean and a face that looks luminous. You’ve probably seen it — some people walk into a room with a certain quality of skin that seems lit from within. It’s not just genetics. It’s skin health at a cellular level.
That’s the goal of the Panache Glow Medifacial.
What Is a Medifacial?
A medifacial is not a spa facial. The fundamental distinction is this: a spa facial works on the surface; a medifacial works on the skin’s biology.
At Panache, medifacials are designed by Dr. Ankit Gupta as structured, multi-step clinical protocols that use medical-grade ingredients and technologies to address specific skin concerns — in this case, dullness, loss of radiance, and uneven skin tone.
Every step has a purpose. Every product is chosen for its clinical evidence base. The sequence is deliberate — each phase prepares the skin for the next, allowing deeper ingredient penetration and more meaningful results than any single-step facial can achieve.
What Causes Dull, Lackluster Skin?
Before treating a problem, you need to understand its source. Skin dullness isn’t one thing — it’s the combined result of several factors:
Cellular sluggishness: As we age, cellular turnover slows down. Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface faster than they shed, creating a dull, thick layer that scatters light rather than reflecting it.
Melanin irregularity: Sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and stress all trigger uneven melanin production — patches of discolouration that disrupt the evenness of the skin tone.
Dehydration at the deeper layers: Surface moisturising isn’t enough. The skin’s deeper layers need adequate hydration to maintain their light-reflecting properties — and most people are chronically under-hydrated at this level.
Compromised skin barrier: Pollution, harsh products, over-exfoliation, and UV damage degrade the skin’s outer protective layer, leading to a rough texture that absorbs light rather than reflecting it.
Reduced antioxidant reserves: Free radical damage from environmental stressors depletes the skin’s natural antioxidant capacity, accelerating the processes that create dullness and ageing.
The Panache Glow Medifacial is designed to address all of these simultaneously — not one at a time.
What Does the Glow Medifacial Protocol Involve?
We deliberately do not publish the exact steps of our protocols — that would be doing our patients a disservice, because the value is not in any single step, but in the precise combination, sequence, and professional execution.
What we can tell you is this:
It is multi-step. Each phase builds on the previous. We don’t shortcut the protocol based on time — every step is completed, every time.
It uses prescription-grade actives. The ingredients used in our Glow protocol are not available in over-the-counter products. They work at concentrations and with delivery methods that require professional supervision.
It addresses multiple mechanisms. The protocol targets exfoliation, melanin regulation, antioxidant replenishment, deep hydration, and barrier repair — not just one of these.
It is adapted to your skin. Before the first session, Dr. Ankit assesses your skin type, concerns, and sensitivities. The protocol is calibrated accordingly — because the same steps on two different skin types will not produce the same results.
It is a course, not a one-off. The full benefit emerges over 4–6 sessions. Each session builds on cumulative skin improvement. Most patients notice a visible difference after session 2; the transformation is significant by session 4.

What Results Should You Expect?
Realistic outcomes from a full Glow Medifacial course:
- Brighter, more even skin tone — the kind of clarity that makes foundation feel unnecessary
- Finer texture — smoother surface, reduced pore appearance
- Genuine luminosity — light reflecting from the skin rather than being absorbed by it
- Reduced surface pigmentation — post-acne marks, sun spots, and general discolouration visibly lighter
- Improved skin hydration — plumper, more resilient skin
- Stronger skin barrier — less reactivity, better response to your daily skincare routine
These are not temporary, surface-level effects. The cellular changes that drive these results persist well beyond the day of treatment.
Who Is the Glow Medifacial Suitable For?
This protocol is designed for:
- Anyone who feels their skin looks dull or tired despite good skincare habits
- People with uneven skin tone, post-sun or post-hormonal pigmentation
- Patients preparing for an event (wedding, reunion, professional photoshoot)
- Anyone starting a skin-health journey and wanting to establish a strong foundation
- Patients combining medifacials with injectable or surgical treatments for full-face rejuvenation
It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, when properly assessed. Those with active infections, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may need to wait before beginning.
Glow Medifacial vs. a Salon Facial — The Honest Comparison
| Salon Facial | Panache Glow Medifacial | |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Over-the-counter | Medical-grade actives |
| Who performs it | Beautician | Supervised clinical protocol |
| Depth of action | Surface only | Epidermal & upper-dermal layers |
| Protocol design | Generic | Evidence-based, customised |
| Result duration | 1–2 weeks | Cumulative, lasting improvement |
| Addressing root cause | No | Yes |
A salon facial makes your skin look temporarily cleaner. A medifacial changes what your skin does — how it turns over, how it defends itself, how it reflects light.
What About Home Care?
Your Glow Medifacial results are significantly enhanced by the right home routine. At Panache, every patient receives personalised home-care guidance — both premium and budget-friendly options — so you can maintain and amplify the clinic results between sessions.
A structured home routine during your medifacial course is not optional. It’s part of the protocol.

FAQs
How long is each session? Approximately 60–75 minutes for the full protocol. We don’t compress or abbreviate the steps.
Is there any downtime? Minimal. Your skin may be slightly flushed for a few hours. You can return to normal activity immediately.
How often should I come? For the initial course, sessions are spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are typically monthly.
Can I wear makeup after? We recommend waiting 8–12 hours and using a clean brush or applicator.
Can I combine this with injectables? Yes — and many patients do. Medifacials and neuro-modulators or fillers complement each other well. We’ll sequence them appropriately.
