WHAT TREATMENT IS THIS?
This treatment includes a deep cleanse and exfoliation with extractions to remove blackheads and congestion. It incorporates a high-frequency treatment to kill acne-causing bacteria, followed by an enzyme mask to break down dead skin cells, and AHA’s to prevent future breakouts. The treatment is finished with customized serums and a recovery balm to soothe and nourish the skin.
BENEFITS
-
Improves Skin Texture: Smoothes the skin and enhances overall clarity.
-
Removes Fine Facial Hair: Eliminates peach fuzz and smooths the complexion.
-
Boosts Other Skin Treatments: Prepares the skin to better absorb future treatments.
-
Reduces Signs of Aging: Helps combat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
TREATMENT PLAN
- For mild congestion: Every 4-6 weeks.

RECOVERY TIME
After treatment, the skin may appear flushed with a warm sensation, which will subside within 4-6 hours. 12-24 hours post-treatment, you may experience purging, where breakouts may temporarily increase. This is a natural part of the skin's clearing and renewal process.
HOW COMFORTABLE IS THIS TREATMENT?
The treatment involves some warmth, which can be slightly uncomfortable if acne is inflamed. Extractions may cause mild to moderate discomfort, depending on the skin’s sensitivity and pain tolerance.
ANY RISKS?
-
Redness (Erythema): Usually fades within a few days.
-
Swelling (Inflammation): Can last up to 24 hours.
-
Post-Facial Purging: An increase in breakouts in treated areas is normal and part of the healing process.
PRE-TREATMENT GUIDELINES
- Avoid sun-tanning, spray-tanning, tanning injections, and sunbeds for 4-6 weeks before treatment.
POST-TREATMENT AFTERCARE
- Your skin will feel sensitive after the treatment, but you can resume daily activities immediately. Often referred to as a "lunch-time facial," it requires no downtime.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are no specific contraindications, but it is always recommended to consult with your specialist before proceeding with treatment.
