KB Pure Oily and Acne-Prone Facial in Laval

It pinches, mostly on the sides of the nose and the chin, where the skin is thinner and the comedones more anchored. It lasts a few seconds per pore and the sensation drops straight away. It is the longest step of this protocol, so the repetition tires you more than the intensity does. Say so if it is too much: the extraction stops where it is and picks up at the next session, which is better than pushing skin to its limit.

A few lesions can show up over the following days, mostly after a first deep cleanse, and it is unsettling when nobody warned you. Acne-prone skin keeps evolving on its own, some lesions were already forming, and a treatment can leave the skin irritated for a while. ⛔ We do not present that as a necessary purge, nor as proof that the treatment is working: a cleared pore does not push next week's breakouts to the surface. It generally settles within a week. What is not normal, on the other hand, is a widespread, painful reaction, or one that lasts beyond that. Tell us, and the next session will be adjusted.

It depends on what you have, and the distinction is anything but theoretical. Blackheads, comedones, a thick grain, a few painless breakouts: yes, that is exactly what this protocol does. Red, swollen lesions that are tender to the touch, or cysts under the skin: no, and no esthetic treatment replaces medical care. A dermatologist has tools we do not have. We will tell you in consultation, and the consultation stays free even when the answer is no.

Not all of them, but some. Acids, retinoids and exfoliants should stop a few days before, because they weaken the surface layer and make the extraction rougher than it should be. Bring the list of what you use, or photograph your bottles: it is more reliable than memory, and it avoids doing the same work twice on your skin.

No, and it is a common worry among oily skins, often because they have been stripped elsewhere. Oily skin that gets dried out makes more sebum to compensate, which worsens exactly what you were trying to fix. The protocol cleanses and clears without removing the skin barrier, and hydration is part of it. If your skin feels tight after a facial, that is a sign it was badly dosed.

What is certain is that sebum production does not stop: pores reload, and upkeep counts for more than the intensity of any one session. Common practice generally puts a closer rhythm at the start, when there is catching up to do, then spaces it out. The rhythm is decided with you, based on what your skin asks for.

Yes, but in order. Microneedling works on the marks left by acne, and it comes later, once the skin has calmed, never on skin in a flare. A peel addresses the spots left by old breakouts. Both come after, not during. This protocol deals first with what is active.
