A deep-cleansing facial with extractions is considered the most effective method for cleaning out pores.
Here’s why:
Deep Cleansing: These facials go beyond the surface, helping to remove dirt, oil, and debris that can clog pores. Steaming helps soften the buildup and oils clogging the pores.
Exfoliation: They include exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, which contribute to the clogged pores. This can involve scrubs, enzymes, or chemical exfoliant boosts.
Extractions: This is the key step for directly addressing clogged pores. The esthetician will use specialized tools and/or manually remove blackheads, whiteheads, milia, pustules, and other impurities from your pores.
Professional advice: Leaving it to the professionals allows for proper treatment recommendation and service for your specific needs and skin type. In addition, this ensures you are placed with an esthetician experienced in performing the specific type of extraction required. In other words, some blemish types or sites may call for advanced skill and technique.
Other skin treatments that can be beneficial for treating clogged pores include:
Chemical Peels: Certain chemical peels, particularly those containing salicylic acid, can penetrate into the pores and help dissolve oil and debris.
Photo Facials: Light based treatments can help reduce inflammation and help raise and reduce deep or enlarged pores.
For immediate and noticeable results in clearing clogged pores, a deep cleansing facial with extractions is an excellent choice. Furthermore, treatments like chemical peels and photo facials can be beneficial for long-term improvement.
We offer a clogged pores treatment in Edmonton- the PORE facial. Clogged pores are a common skin concern that can affect various skin types and ages. They are often referred to as blackheads, comedones, or whiteheads.
Facials, especially those that focus on deep cleansing and extractions much like the PORE Facial, can be a valuable tool in addressing clogged pores.
What does the PORE facial include?
During a professional PORE Facial, the esthetician begins by thoroughly cleansing and exfoliating the skin, followed by the application of an extraction solution and steam to soften the skin and buildup the pores. This crucial step prepares the skin for the removal of congestion.
The extraction process is a key component of a PORE Facial. Using specialized, sterile tools, the esthetician gently applies pressure around the clogged pore to dislodge the trapped sebum, dead skin cells, and debris. This manual removal can significantly improve the appearance of clogged pores and prevent them from developing into more inflamed blemishes.
Many facials incorporate exfoliation techniques, such as scrubs and enzymes, or a chemical exfoliant BOOST using Beta Hydroxy or Alpha Hydroxy Acids. These help to remove the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface, which is a primary contributor to clogged pores. Regular exfoliation during facials can also prevent future blockages.
Skincare at home.
While PORE Facials offer a powerful way to address clogged pores, it’s important to note that they are not a permanent solution. Consistent at-home skincare, including appropriate cleansing and exfoliation, are essential for maintaining clear pores between facial treatments. Regular professional facials, however, can provide a deeper cleanse and extraction that complements your home routine, leading to a clearer and healthier complexion.

I usually don’t experience acne, but I started breaking out a lot in June. I decided to get a pore facial and photofacial done with Jhoenna, and I’m amazed at how my skin cleared up over the weekend! I’m really happy and impressed with the results, and I can’t wait for my second photofacial next week.

Dermica is my favourite skin care place in Edmonton! I’m someone who likes to try new places but this is the one place I always come back to.
I’ve had acne my whole life and my regular facials here keep it under control. I’ve been going here for 5 years now and my skin is always better when I leave.
Whenever my skin has some breakouts I come for a facial and within a day after my treatment my skin is clear again like magic!
I haven’t had any major skin concerns since I started coming here. All of the girls are so nice and professional.

I had an amazing experience at Dermica today! The facial and massage were absolutely fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a good vibe.
I opted for “relax facial” which left my skin glowing and rejuvenated, and the products they used were really affective. The massage was equally incredible done by Johanna. it was just the right balance of relaxation and soothing.
Johanna did my facial and is the best, ensuring i was comfortable throughout the session. The ambiance of the salon, with its soothing music and calming scents, made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend!!

A word to the wise: the pore extraction facial hurts like a bee. I wept and my face was red for a day. But my God, was it worth it. My skin is so clear and bright. The texture has calmed considerably. I would recommend bracing yourself for the pain of it, but know it’ll make you look radiant.
The salon was clean and easy to locate. Sylvia did a fantastic job and let me know what she was planning to do so there was no surprises. I have lash extensions on and she treated them with great care so they wouldn’t steam off. I’m thrilled.

Q: Dérmica, Why is my forehead so much more oily than the rest of my face? Do you treat a male oily forehead differently than a female? – Oiler fan @ forehead, I mean, heart.
A: Dear Oiler fan, The reason for your oily forehead is because you have combination skin. To treat a male or female oily forehead, we developed the Dérmica PORE facial. This facial is used to rebalance combination skin types and restore glowing skin, thereby allowing you to part with your oily forehead.
The PORE Facial includes all the essentials of a classic facial with an emphasis on clearing congested skin by extracting blackheads, milia, and other skin blemishes.
After a thorough skin analysis where we determine your skin type and condition, we begin the treatment by removing build-up and debris from the skin. This allows for proper product penetration and supple, glowing skin.
Products applied are dependent on specific zone needs. For example oily areas such as your forehead are treated with oil absorbing and pore minimizing products, and dehydrated areas are treated with hydrating products. Our custom applications ensure balancing benefits.
The best facial for anti aging can be found at Dérmica! Our facial menuoffers a variety of facials. Most of our facials include light extractions, a nourishing mask application, and Pressure-Point facial massage; All key players in the fight against aging.
How often should you have a facial?
We generally recommend booking every 4-6 weeks. However, this period depends on your age, skin type, and even work environment!
When we are young we tend to have oilier skin. This results in acne breakouts which we in turn try to cover up with cheap makeup. At least we were using cheap makeup back then!
Although our skin is tight and our pores are relatively small in our youth, years of this cycle make way for the changes we see as we age.
Environmental factors
There are certain environmental factors that will increase the rate at which your pores need a cleanup. Restaurant workers, particularly those in the kitchen, may see their skin become congested over time. This in part can be due to higher than normal temperatures. Those working outdoors during the summer may experience the same, due to similar reasons.
Do facials help with wrinkles?
Facials help with wrinkles to a certain degree: The exfoliation included in our facials will clear away your skin allowing products to be better absorbed. The pore extractions will clean your pores from within. The mask application will deliver anti-aging benefits through different key ingredients. The pressure-point facial massage will promote blood flow to your facial muscles.
However, for these effects to take place, facials must be a regular part of your routine. If facials have not been a part of your routine and you are looking to reverse some signs of aging, we recommend the ALISA photofacial.
