Deep-Cleansing Acne Facial
Our clinical answer to congested, oily and acne-prone skin.
🧴Your visit, step by step · what's included
- 1Consultation and skin analysis — we assess your breakout pattern, oil levels and sensitivity so the treatment targets your acne's actual causes
- 2Deep cleanse and galvanic desincrustation — a mild current softens and liquefies hardened oil inside the pores, so congestion releases without force
- 3Thorough professional extractions — blackheads, whiteheads and congestion are cleared safely and methodically, protecting the skin from post-blemish marks
- 4Germicidal high-frequency — an oxygenating electrical current neutralizes acne bacteria and calms active blemishes, helping stop the next breakout before it starts
- 5A purifying, balancing mask — clay-based purification draws out impurities and rebalances oil without stripping the skin
- 6Oil-free hydration and SPF — lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture and sun protection finish the treatment, because even oily skin needs both
✦Benefits to expect
- Fewer breakouts and less congestion
- Rebalanced oil production
- Calmer, clearer skin over a series
- Smoother texture

Frequently asked questions
Does the treatment hurt, and is there downtime?
It's comfortable and relaxing, with little to no downtime. Extractions may feel like light pressure, and skin can look slightly flushed right after — that settles within a few hours. You can return to your day right away.
How many sessions will I need?
For deep or persistent congestion, we recommend an initial series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4–6 weeks. One session still delivers a visible refresh, but a series produces lasting clarity.
Is it safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Intensity is adjusted to your skin, and the high-frequency step actually helps calm acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. Always tell your esthetician about allergies, medications, or recent procedures so we can adjust.
How is this different from a regular facial?
A standard facial focuses on cleansing and hydration. This treatment adds professional decongestion tools — galvanic desincrustation, thorough extractions, and germicidal high-frequency — to specifically target clogged pores, blackheads, and breakouts.
What should I do afterward to keep results?
Keep it simple for 48 hours: gentle cleansing, no scrubs or actives, and daily SPF. A home routine with salicylic acid and oil control between visits helps maintain clear, refined pores.
