Dreaming of a smooth and clear complexion? If you’re ready to say goodbye to persistent blackheads and clogged pores, you may be considering booking in for a facial extraction. At The Cupping Clinic, we want our clients to be well-equipped with the information they need to make the best cosmetic choices. So, here’s our handy guide on everything you need to know about facial extractions to prepare you for your first appointment.

 The Process

Facial extractions treat congestion in the skin by clearing impurities to minimise breakouts and reduce blackheads. A qualified therapist utilises a combination of techniques to deeply exfoliate the skin; gentle steam is applied to the face to open the pores, and exfoliating treatments are applied to remove dirt and oil from the skin. Specialised extraction tools are then used to apply pressure to congested pores to remove impurities. The facial is often followed by soothing treatments to calm the skin barrier.

 The Benefits

Facial extractions can provide quick results; benefits include a smooth and glowing complexion, a minimised chance of future breakouts, and increased skincare absorption. All of these benefits can contribute to boosted confidence and satisfaction.

 The Risks

The skin on your face is delicate and should be treated as such, so any form of manual exfoliation poses risks due to its invasiveness. Facial extractions can cause damage to pores if too much pressure is applied, which is why extractions should only be completed by qualified professionals. Completing extractions incorrectly can lead to irritation, scarring, and infection, so we advise always leaving it to the professionals.
