Acne peels take 45 minutes; facials with extractions take up to 1 hour 15 minutes.

For anyone dealing with blackheads, clogged pores, shine and regular breakouts who wants professional help alongside a home routine or a dermatologist's care.
Four ways to clear congestion, matched to how your skin breaks out.
Licensed estheticians clear blackheads and clogged pores by hand once the skin is prepped, which avoids the marks that come from squeezing at home.
We alternate Face Reality acne peels with extraction facials, so each visit works on a different part of the problem instead of repeating the same service.
If your breakouts look cystic, painful or scarring, we will tell you to see a dermatologist, and we are happy to support your skin alongside that care.
What to expect, step by step
We note where you break out, whether it is blackheads, small bumps or inflamed spots, and what makes it worse, from masks and sunscreen to workouts and stress.
Blackhead-heavy skin usually starts with an extraction facial, skin that feels tight or dehydrated after breakouts may suit the calming Casmara Purifying Treatment, and frequent breakouts point to the Face Reality acne peel.
Depending on the service, your visit includes cleansing, exfoliation, a masque or peel, and careful extractions where the skin is ready. Inflamed spots are left alone rather than forced.
You leave with simple home-care guidance and a date for your next visit, usually two to four weeks out, because clearing congestion takes consistency.
Match the service to how your skin behaves.
For frequent breakouts and rough, congested texture. Best as a series about two weeks apart. Read about acne peels.
Steam and manual extractions for blackheads and whiteheads, or choose the version with chemical exfoliation ($185). See the extraction facial.
Gentle exfoliation, a clarifying masque and extractions for oily, blemish-prone skin and large-looking pores.
A cooling marine algae mask treatment focused on hydration, a gentle option when skin feels dry or tight from acne care.
Better suited to breakout-prone skin that is also dry, sensitive or easily irritated.
A needle-free TCA peel with little visible flaking, often chosen for oily skin with enlarged-looking pores and uneven texture.

What Boca Raton weather does to congested skin
South Florida humidity keeps skin slick for months, and the sunscreen you need every day can add to clogged pores if the formula is heavy. Add sweat from outdoor workouts, hats and helmets rubbing the forehead, and phone screens pressed against the jaw, and congestion builds fast. Regular professional care every two to four weeks keeps that buildup from settling in, so skin is calmer by the time season, weddings and holiday photos arrive.

Our Face Reality acne peels and deep-pore extraction facials are the core of most acne plans. For breakout-prone skin that is also dry or sensitive, the lactic peel is a gentler option, and leftover dark marks are covered on our hyperpigmentation page.
Yes, for many cases of mild to moderate acne. Estheticians clear congestion with extractions, peels and facials and help you build a consistent routine. They do not diagnose or prescribe, so persistent, painful or scarring acne should be seen by a dermatologist.
See a dermatologist if you have deep, painful cysts, acne that leaves scars, sudden adult acne, or breakouts that do not improve with good home care. An esthetician is a good fit for blackheads, clogged pores and regular small breakouts, and can work alongside your dermatologist's plan.
Every two to four weeks works for most acne-prone skin, since that roughly matches how quickly pores refill. Once your skin is calmer, many people switch to monthly maintenance.
A deep-pore cleansing facial with manual extractions is the most direct option, because blackheads are physically cleared. The version with chemical exfoliation ($185) adds an acid step that helps loosen stubborn buildup.
It should not, but extractions can leave skin pink for a few hours, and some people see a few small breakouts in the following days as congestion surfaces. Skip heavy makeup and workouts for the rest of the day to give skin a clean start.
Heavy, oily formulas can clog pores, especially in humid weather. Look for lightweight sunscreens labeled non-comedogenic or oil-free, and cleanse thoroughly at night. Skipping sunscreen is not the answer, since sun exposure can darken post-breakout marks.
Squeezing at home often pushes debris deeper and can leave dark marks or scars that last longer than the pimple. If a spot is ready, a professional extraction is cleaner; if it is deep and painful, leave it alone and let a doctor assess it.
Those flat brown or pink marks usually fade with time, sun protection and regular exfoliation. Peels such as the lactic peel or BioRePeel can help them look more even over a series. Our hyperpigmentation page explains the options.
Adult breakouts often cluster along the jaw and chin and can be linked to hormones, stress or products. A dermatologist can check for underlying causes, while regular extractions and peels help keep pores clear in the meantime.
Most first visits cost $110 to $185, depending on whether you start with an acne peel or a facial with extractions. The free 30-minute consultation is a good option if you would like a plan before you commit.
