Manual facial cleansing
Targeted pore cleansing for a more even skin surface. The practitioner extracts suitable comedones and selects finishing skincare to leave the skin looking well cared for.
Book a treatmentWe begin by assessing your skin
What the treatment addresses
Treatment of open and closed comedones. Cleansing complements skincare but does not replace treatment for inflammatory acne.
Blackheads
Removing the contents of open comedones helps clear blocked pores.
Closed comedones
Suitable non-inflamed comedones are extracted after a skin assessment.
Bumps caused by comedones
Clearing blocked pores may reduce the associated bumps.
How the treatment works
Skin assessment
The practitioner assesses the degree of skin congestion.
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and prepared for comedone extraction.
Comedone extraction
Selected comedones are treated using aseptic technique; some discomfort is possible.
Finishing care
The practitioner selects skincare and explains how to reduce the likelihood of pores becoming blocked again.
Individually selected care
Suitable skin types
- Oily
- Combination
- Normal
Suitable when comedones are present: oiliness alone is not an indication. For dry or sensitive skin, suitability is assessed individually.
Before your treatment
Contraindications
- Active infection, herpes or open wounds in the treatment area.
- Significant irritation or a dermatitis flare-up: treatment is postponed.
- Deep inflammatory nodules and cysts require a dermatologist’s treatment rather than routine cleansing.
Please disclose isotretinoin use, topical retinoids and recent peels.
