At our clinic we provide you with a wide range of professional beauty treatments, such as professional facial cleansing. This procedure consists of removing comedones, impurities and dead cells from the skin’s surface layer.
Facial cleansing treatments performed at the clinic by professional beauticians are very deep and, therefore, it is necessary to leave some time between sessions. In the case of normal and dry skin, a session is carried out every 2 months. However, for combination and oily skin, it is recommended to have 1 monthly session.
This procedure must be performed by a professional beautician and is usually carried out following the steps below:
- Skin cleansing
It consists of removing makeup and cleansing the skin by applying a cleansing lotion to help remove oil and some skin impurities. - Opening pores
The opening of pores is usually carried out by applying ozone steam or water vapour, since steam helps soften the skin, facilitating the removal of comedones and impurities. - Exfoliation
Exfoliation is used to remove dead cells and the skin’s outermost layer, facilitating the removal of comedones and impurities in the next step. Chemical peels containing salicylic acid, lactic acid and mandelic acid, among others, are usually applied. - Removal of comedones
The removal of blackheads is carried out manually, with a gauze or moistened cotton pad with antiseptic lotion, pushing the index fingers in the opposite direction. - Soothing mask
A soothing mask is applied for around 10 minutes to help reduce redness and soothe skin. During this procedure, manual lymphatic drainage can be performed throughout the face to help reduce redness and swelling. - Moisturisation
Moisturisation is performed by applying a layer of moisturising cream or serum according to the skin type. - Sunscreen application
After the professional facial cleansing treatment, the skin becomes more sensitive, and therefore sunscreen is essential to protect the skin from sun damage and prevent dark skin spots from appearing, due to exposure of the person to the sun or ultraviolet light. It is recommended to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or more.
