How it works

The session begins with a skin reading to understand which types of lesion are present. This is followed by a two-step cleanse, exfoliation suited to the current state of the skin, careful extraction only where it is safe, and soothing, sebum-regulating actives. We finish with light moisturising and sun protection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will I leave with red skin?+

There may be slight redness in the first few hours, especially after extraction. We always finish with soothing actives to reduce this discomfort.

How many sessions will I need?+

It depends on the type of acne, your home routine and hormonal factors. We set out a plan at the first session and review it as you go.

Does it replace dermatological care?+

No. In moderate to severe cases we work alongside medical care, never instead of it.
