Medical Cleansing

The purpose of medical cleansing is to exfoliate the dead surface skin cells, extract excess oil and comedones and pustules and re-hydrate dull, tired skin. This can be performed on the face or back areas. Most skin types can benefit from a medical cleansing. The treatment can be customized for each individual's needs.

The skin will be cleansed and prepped and placed under a warm vapor mist to open the pores and soften oil and debris. Using firm pressure, oil and debris will be extracted from the pores. After the extraction process, the skin will be disinfected and an appropriate mask will be applied for 5-7 minutes.

The skin may appear red and blotchy for several hours after the cleansing and should be treated gently and no glycolic/retinol products should be used for 48 hours after cleansing. Sun exposure should be avoided and an SPF 30 or higher should be applied before going outdoors. Best results are seen when cleansings are done on a regular basis, the frequency suggested varies from patient to patient. We also recommend easy to use at home products that compliment your office treatments.
