Looking for a facial that gives extra attention to blackheads and clogged pores?
Our European Deep Extractions Acne Facial dedicates more time to careful pore cleansing and appropriate extractions, with every step selected around your skin’s condition and comfort.
Your esthetician begins with a consultation and cleansing, then chooses suitable exfoliation and skin preparation. Depending on your skin, this may include diamond-tip microdermabrasion, an enzyme treatment with gentle steam, or ultrasonic exfoliation.
The focus is unrushed, careful extractions of suitable congestion. High frequency and a sulfur mask may follow when appropriate, before a selected JetPeel or Oxygen Silk treatment and finishing skincare.
Dermaplaning is considered only when suitable and is omitted for active acne.
This facial focuses on congestion and skincare maintenance. The exact combination of steps is personalized; not every modality is performed on every client.

Why Sunscreen Matters for Acne-Prone Skin
To help maintain your acne facial results, daily sunscreen is recommended. Sunscreens work for only about 2.5 hours, and reapplication throughout the day is important. Sunscreen lotion helps create your first layer of protection, and sunscreen spray makes it easier and more convenient to reapply, without needing to touch your face with your hands. Using both helps support clearer-looking skin and protect your results.
