Deep facial cleansing in Medellín
The deep facial cleansing is the foundation treatment for the skin: it removes excess oil, dead cells and the impurities built up in the pores, and leaves the skin ready to receive any other treatment. It's not a "relaxation" spa facial: it's a technical cleanse, performed by an esthetician under medical protocol.

General practitioner and aesthetic physician. He sees aesthetics as part of caring for your health: behind every treatment there is a medical assessment that takes into account how you are and what you need. He looks at the whole person — skin and hair also tell how the body is doing — which is why hair diagnosis and treatment are part of his practice. His goal is not to change your essence, but to enhance what makes you feel good, respecting your individuality.
Doing what you want when it is right for you, and telling you honestly when a treatment is not — or when there is a better alternative.

frequently asked questions
How often should I get a facial cleansing?
It depends on the skin: every 4 weeks for oily skin, every 6 to 8 for normal or dry skin. At the consultation we tell you your frequency.
Does the extraction hurt?
It can be slightly uncomfortable in the most congested areas (nose, chin), but it's brief and the skin is prepared beforehand so it's as gentle as possible.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
Better to wait until the next day: the pores are open and the skin appreciates the rest. Sunscreen, yes, always.
