What to expect

The 80-minute protocol.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    A short conversation about your skin, your routine, and what is and isn't working right now.

  2. 02

    Deep cleanse

    A double cleanse using professional Dermalogica to remove makeup, oil, and surface debris.

  3. 03

    Steam

    Gentle steam to soften congestion and prepare pores for extractions.

  4. 04

    Manual extractions

    Targeted, gentle extractions of what comes out easily. Forcing extractions creates more inflammation, so the technique stays measured.

  5. 05

    Anti-bacterial treatment

    A professional anti-bacterial application to calm active breakouts and reduce bacteria on the skin.

  6. 06

    Targeted mask

    A treatment mask formulated for acne-prone skin to clarify and balance.

  7. 07

    Hydrating finish

    Lightweight, oil-free hydration plus SPF guidance so the skin barrier stays intact.

Recommended add-ons

Two upgrades worth considering.

For acne-prone skin, the LED Light Therapy and High Frequency add-ons make a noticeable difference. Blue-light LED targets the bacteria that drive breakouts and calms inflammation. High Frequency uses a gentle electrical current to kill acne-causing bacteria and speed healing on active breakouts. Both are painless, both are quick, and both are available as add-ons at booking.

Ideal for teens and adults managing active breakouts, congestion, oily skin, blackheads, and clogged pores. The protocol calms inflammation and clears pores without stripping or over-drying the skin.

An 80-minute service that includes a deep cleanse, steam, manual extractions, anti-bacterial treatment, a targeted treatment mask, and a hydrating finish, all using professional Dermalogica products.

Mild redness and a few small breakouts in the first week can happen, especially if extractions are needed. Most clients see clearer, calmer skin within seven to ten days. Series of treatments deliver the most noticeable change.

Yes, manual extractions are part of the standard protocol when the skin is ready. The technique is gentle, and only what comes out easily is extracted. Forcing extractions creates more inflammation than it solves.

Yes. LED Light Therapy and High Frequency are highly recommended add-ons for acne-prone skin. Blue-light LED targets acne-causing bacteria, and High Frequency kills bacteria on active breakouts and speeds healing.

Every three to four weeks during active breakout cycles, then monthly maintenance once skin is clear and stable. Consistent professional treatment combined with a simple home routine is the fastest path to lasting clarity.

Properly performed extractions do not leave marks. The technique is gentle and selective — only pores that release easily are extracted. Picking, squeezing, or over-extracting at home is the most common cause of marks and scarring.

Skin is best left makeup-free for the rest of the day so the treatment can finish working. The next day is fine. Mineral makeup is the most skin-friendly option in the day or two following any facial with extractions.

Most clients see calmer, clearer skin within two to three weeks of the first treatment. A series of three to six monthly facials delivers the most lasting change. Persistent or cystic acne benefits from pairing with a Med Peel by Vitalibis protocol.
