FAQs
Is a Skin Clearing Facial painful, especially during extractions?
Discomfort is kept to a minimum! Prior to extractions, your therapist uses desincrustation fluids and warm steaming/softening techniques to liquefy hardened oil plugs. This allows blackheads and impactions to slide out gently without harsh squeezing or skin tearing.
Will I break out more after a skin clearing facial (purging)?
Some clients may experience mild, short-term purging (small whiteheads) for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. This is completely normal—deep BHA resurfacing accelerates skin cell turnover, bringing trapped congestion to the surface so it can clear away permanently.
Can I get this facial if I am taking oral acne medications like Roaccutane / Accutane?
If you are currently taking oral Roaccutane / Isotretinoin, aggressive chemical peels and manual extractions are contraindicated. However, our therapists can adapt the session into a gentle, non-exfoliating hydration and barrier-soothing facial safe for medication-sensitized skin.
Will a skin clearing facial help with acne scars and dark marks?
Yes! While deep pitted (pockmark) scars require microneedling, our Pro Clear facial uses Mandelic and Salicylic acids specifically formulated to fade red and brown post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks) left by healed blemishes.
How often should I book a Skin Clearing Facial?
For active breakout management and congested skin, we recommend booking a treatment every 2 to 3 weeks until inflammation stabilizes. Once skin is clear, a monthly maintenance session every 4 to 6 weeks will keep pores refined.
