Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about The Clear Complexion Facial (Dermalogica).

Yes, with precautions. We customize product strength and avoid aggressive exfoliants or extractions for reactive skin. A patch test can be performed and your therapist will recommend gentler options or consult a dermatologist if needed.

Sessions generally last 50 to 75 minutes depending on consultation, degree of congestion, and whether extractions are needed. We allow extra time for severe congestion to ensure safety, comfort, and thorough purification.

Mild discomfort is possible, but our skilled therapists use careful techniques, numbing protocols when appropriate, and soothing masks afterward. Most clients report pressure rather than sharp pain, with minimal healing time.

For active breakouts, a series every 2–4 weeks for three to six sessions is recommended, then maintenance every 4–8 weeks. Frequency depends on skin condition, treatment response, and your homecare routine.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying heavy makeup to allow skin to recover and pores to breathe. If necessary, light mineral or non-comedogenic coverage may be used after a few hours.

We recommend Dermalogica products such as a gentle cleanser, salicylic or retinol spot treatments, oil-free moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your therapist will prescribe a tailored regimen to control oil and prevent bacteria.
