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.

FAQs
How is professional facial cleansing different from regular facial cleansing?
Although both kinds of facial cleansing seek to improve skin health, deep facial cleansing goes one step further, penetrating deeper layers of the epidermis. More intensive products and techniques are used to remove embedded impurities and promote cell regeneration.
How do I know if I need deep facial cleansing?
If you have clogged pores, persistent blackheads, or skin that looks dull and is prone to imperfections, deep facial cleansing can be beneficial. It is also useful for those who want to prevent premature ageing and keep their skin healthy.
Does deep facial cleansing hurt?
In general, deep facial cleansing should not be painful. There may be slight discomfort during the removal of impurities, but it is tolerable.
Can anyone undergo professional facial cleansing?
Although professional facial cleansing is a non-invasive treatment, there are people for whom it is contraindicated. For example, in pregnancy, breastfeeding, in patients treated with allergies, a history of facial herpes simplex, a family history of keloids… It is therefore recommended to talk to the doctor before the procedure is performed.
Is professional facial cleansing suitable for all skin types?
Yes, deep facial cleansing can be adapted to different skin types. Products and techniques can be customised according to skin sensitivity, ensuring that it is beneficial for all, even those patients with sensitive skin.
