Acne Clearing Facial

Acne is one of the hardest skin conditions to treat and is unique to all that are affected by this condition! It can be frustrating and debilitating and requires monitored and customizable treatments to attain results. When you visit Century Derma Lounge for your acne facial, your skin will be treated with the utmost care.

​What is the Acne Clearing Facial?
Designed as an extraction based facial, our acne specialists will physically remove congestion and impurities from the skin by going pore by pore to remove blackheads, whiteheads, bumps under the skin, cysts, milia, and infected pimples. 

First, we do a thorough deep-cleanse, then apply an enzyme with steam to soften the skin and prepare the skin for easier extraction. Extractions are performed under a magnifying lamp with a bright light so that your aesthetician can easily see your pores. Using sterilized instruments the aesthetician will then proceed to apply gentle pressure around the pore to extract the contents. Some pores may not be ready to be extracted during the first treatment and may need several treatments before they can be cleared.

Our acne specialists may also customize your treatment, combining with other services such as light therapy, steroid injections, or laser treatment and a take-home skin regimen of medical-grade products.

Our AMAZING deep-pore acne clearing facial includes a skin evaluation, product recommendations, and a 30 minute follow up appointment. 

While extractions are great for cleaning out clogged pores, they will not reduce your risk of pimples coming back. Every person’s skin is different and the first step to preventing buildup is often with your at-home skincare routine. At Century Derma Lounge, our medical aestheticians can help you determine the best skin care to treat your acne and provide you with the best results.

What is Acne Extraction?
Acne extraction is the process of clearing a clogged or compacted pore with the help of special, sterile tools. They are often performed as part of a facial and can help you get rid of problem pimples. They help to clear out all of the unwanted gunk inside of your pores, including dirt, makeup, sweat, and excess sebum.
 

Extractions ~ Trust the Professionals!
If extractions are not done properly, they could potentially make things worse. If you are pushing in the wrong direction or pushing too aggressively, you could end up pushing the contents down into the skin, triggering more inflammation and causing a bacterial infection.

Professionals can also easily determine which bumps should be extracted and which ones need more time. The most effective type of extraction is on comedones, which are blackheads or whiteheads. Active acne lesions and pustules with a living infection should not be extracted. Medical aestheticians know how to clear out the clogged pores without spreading infection and damaging your pores.

Acne has several causes. It may result from hormonal fluctuations in the body, high levels of stress, and the buildup of excess oils and dead skin cells that eventually clog pores. Acne also appears when certain types of bacteria found on the skin lead to infection.
