Deep Pore Cleansing Facial

Usually, if the patient wishes, a mild glycolic acid peel is applied to exfoliate the skin and open the pores. We adapt each deep cleansing facial treatment to the patient’s skin type, e.g. oily, dry, sensitive, young or mature, for the best results. The first peel can be replaced by microdermabrasion if your condition does not allow for a glycolic peel. Exfoliation will remove the top layer of dead skin cells revealing fresh new skin beneath.

Following the peel, the specialist will extract blackheads and whiteheads using a magnifying glass to help clear the skin of all impurities. Extraction of comedones on the nose will clear clogged or congested pores. With the extraction, we can remove blackheads, whiteheads or microcysts using a microneedle. This procedure is completely painless and does not require anaesthesia. Areas of active acne or inflammation will not be treated at this stage due to chances of scarring.

Next, the skin specialist will apply potent hydrating or anti-ageing creams rich in vitamins and nutrients that penetrate deep into the dermis.

Once the skin is prepared, our aesthetician will apply the LED light therapy (light-emitting diode). This will treat various skin conditions and concerns, such as acne, fine lines and psoriasis. It has a powerful antibacterial and anti inflammatory effects on the skin, calming and healing the skin from the previous stage.

LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin. It comes in different types, including red light LED therapy and blue light LED therapy, which are sometimes used in combination.

In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow. Today, dermatologists and aestheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Skin specialists often use LED light therapy together with other treatments, such as creams, ointments and facials, to give you the best results.
