Acne care is what our guests talk about most
Read through our Google reviews and a pattern shows up quickly: acne care done gently, with a real consultation first. One guest wrote that we “recommended products that suited my sensitive, acne-prone skin” — and that is the whole approach in one line: your skin, your routine, your pace. We follow up on how your skin responds between visits, not just while you are on the bed.
Extraction, done properly
Extractions are what we are best known for — and the skill is not in how much comes out, but in knowing what to extract and what to leave alone. Blackheads, whiteheads and non-inflamed congestion are cleared fully, with proper prep first (softening and steam), so the skin releases them instead of being forced. Deep or inflamed spots are left alone on purpose — forcing those spreads inflammation and raises the chance of a lasting mark, so they get calming care instead and another look at your next visit. Proper prep, proper pressure, proper judgment, proper aftercare: that is why extraction here leaves skin calm instead of battered — and why guests come back for it.
We change skin slowly — on purpose
Acne does not appear in a week, and it does not leave in one either. Our approach starts smaller than a treatment: your first visit includes a free 3D skin analysis (3DMeta-Vu — first in North America) and usually one change to your homecare routine — often a product you already own, used differently. Treatments every 3–4 weeks do the clinical work; your routine does the daily work between visits, and we track how your skin is responding together. It takes time. But this is how skin actually changes — and stays changed.
Breaking out now — and the marks it can leave
Our focus is the acne that is happening now: clearing congestion safely, calming reactive skin, and lowering the chance that today’s breakout becomes tomorrow’s mark. And when past breakouts have already left marks behind, that is covered here too — our Sylfirm X program (Acne Vulgaris protocol, $850) works on post-acne concerns. If your skin ever needs a dermatologist, we will tell you honestly — we work alongside medical care, not instead of it.
What the Acne Special Treatment includes — $150 + GST
- Professional extractions — blackheads, whiteheads and non-inflamed congestion, cleared with clinic technique instead of picking
- Deep cleansing — removing the oil and buildup that keep pores blocked, to help reduce repeat breakouts
- Calming care — soothing steps for skin that is reactive right now
- Homecare guidance — what to use (and stop using) between visits, chosen for sensitive, acne-prone skin
- Lower scarring risk — professional extractions are far gentler than squeezing at home, which helps minimize marks and pigmentation
FAQ
When will I see change?
Most guests notice calmer, clearer-feeling skin over the first few visits; lasting change builds over weeks to months as treatments and your routine work together. We track it with the 3D analysis, so progress is something you can see — not guess. Every skin moves at its own pace, and we will be honest with you about yours.
How often should I come?
Most acne-prone skin does best every 3–4 weeks while congestion is active, then less often as skin settles.
My skin is inflamed today — can I still come?
Yes. We adjust the treatment and stay gentle over inflamed areas. If breakouts keep flaring despite care, we will recommend seeing a dermatologist — honestly.
Is there downtime?
You may be a little pink for a few hours after extractions. Most guests go straight back to their day.
