After my treatment, your facial skin will look fresh, moisturised and will have a beautiful glow.
What to expect during your treatment
Deep cleansing extraction is not the most comfortable option in removing impurities from your skin, but it is the most effective for those with acne issues. You may feel some discomfort during the treatment which is largely determined by your personal tolerance to pain and how much build-up there is on the surface of your skin and I may need to vary the pressure I apply to your skin during the treatment.
I will start by gently cleansing and exfoliating your skin in order to remove bacteria and debris from the surface. I may then apply glycolic acid (AHA) peel to remove the next layer of dead skin cells. After that, I will steam your face in order to open your pores.
After your pores are open, I use my hands to gently manipulate your blackheads and whiteheads. In the case of blackheads, the steam should open your pores enough to loosen up the extra skin cells and sebum that are causing the clog. In many cases, I will use cotton finger covers to protect your skin. There is a metal extraction tool that can be used for extracting blackheads from awkward areas, such as the deep folds around your nose, but finger manipulation is gentler and less painful.
Extracting whiteheads is a little different because the dead skin cells have more or less grown a covering over the clogged pore. This creates the pocket where the fluid that usually comes out builds up. In these cases, I may need to use a small, sharp lancet to gently open the skin.
Once your extractions are complete, I will apply some serums. These will work to promote healing and calm any inflammation caused by the skin manipulations.
Extraction facials are short and targeted. You may need several appointments before your entire face is treated. It’s better to work on small areas at each session so that your skin has time to recover and heal. We can discuss how often you should return to treat new areas and maintain the ones that have already been cleared.
Aftercare
Once you have had an extraction facial you will need to maintain your skin to prevent severe breakouts in the future. This means regularly cleansing your face at home, removing your makeup before you go to sleep at night, staying properly hydrated, and seeking regular professional care.
While there is really no way to shrink the overall size of your pores once they’ve been stretched out, regular care will help you to keep them clean so they don’t get swollen or clogged again.
