Deep Cleansing Facial
Maintenance, done properly.
A thorough clean that clears congestion and blackheads and leaves skin clearer — a regular ritual rather than a one-off transformation.
A deep cleansing facial removes the build-up that ordinary home cleansing leaves behind: excess oil, dead skin, and the congestion that turns into blackheads and breakouts.
The session runs through cleansing, gentle exfoliation, softening the skin, careful extraction, then a calming mask and serums. It typically takes 45 to 60 minutes with no real downtime.
What it is for — and what it is not
For: congestion, blackheads, oily areas, dull tired skin, and keeping skin clearer between other treatments.
Not for: acne scarring, fine lines, laxity or pigmentation. It works at the surface and does not change the skin's structure. If those are your concerns, a facial is not the answer and we would point you at the right treatment instead.
Why extraction is worth having done professionally
Squeezing at home is how people give themselves broken capillaries, inflammation and marks that outlast the blemish by months.
In clinic the skin is softened first, the technique is sterile, and the practitioner stops at what can be cleared safely rather than pushing at what cannot.
Frequently Asked Questions

Very little. Mild redness after extractions usually fades within a few hours, leaving skin clearer and brighter.
No. Facials work at the surface. Scarring needs a collagen-stimulating approach, which is a different treatment.
Yes, though leave a day or two if you can, since extractions can leave brief redness.
