Frequently Asked Questions

Will extractions hurt?

Our extractions are performed using gentle technology (like HydraFacial) or expert manual technique to ensure minimal discomfort.

How often should I get treated?

For active congestion, a treatment every 4 weeks is recommended to keep pores clear.

Can products clear congestion?

Products help, but deep congestion often requires professional extraction and resurfacing to fully clear.

Does make-up cause congestion?

Oil-based or heavy silicon makeup can trap dead skin cells. We recommend non-comedogenic makeup and proper double cleansing.

Is this suitable for teenagers?

Yes, we treat many younger clients suffering from congestion. We also educate them on proper home care.

Will it reduce my pore size?

Clearing the congestion allows the pore to shrink back to its normal size, making it appear much smaller.

What causes congestion?

It is usually a mix of excess oil, dead skin cells not shedding, and bacteria. Stress and hormones can worsen all of these.

Can I do this if I use Retinol?

We advise stopping Retinol 3-5 days before treatment to avoid irritation during the extraction or peel process.

Is there downtime?

You may be slightly red for a few hours after extraction, but most clients return to normal activities immediately.

How do I prevent it coming back?

Maintenance facials every 4-6 weeks and a consistent home routine with salicylic acid or enzymes will keep congestion away.

Can I wear makeup after?

Ideally wait 12-24 hours to let the pores remain clean and open.
