blackheads and whiteheads removal
Blackheads and whiteheads are common skin concerns that can detract from your complexion and are often signs of clogged pores. At New Age Spa, serving both Montreal and Laval, we specialize in effective treatments to cleanse and clear your skin, including deep cleansing facial extractions and chemical AHA peels. Discover how our targeted treatments can help you achieve a smoother, clearer complexion.
Understand blackheads and pimples
Blackheads (open comedones) and whiteheads (closed comedones) are both types of acne that result when pores are blocked by oil, dead skin cells, and debris. Blackheads are open at the surface of the skin, which causes the appearance to darken due to exposure to air. Whiteheads are covered by a thin layer of skin, giving them a white appearance. Proper treatment can prevent these blemishes from becoming more severe forms of acne.
our anti-blemish treatments
Deep Cleansing Facial Extractions: Our deep cleansing facials include a thorough extraction process to safely remove blackheads and whiteheads without damaging your skin. This procedure not only helps to clear existing blemishes but also minimizes the appearance of pores and prevents future outbreaks. Chemical AHA Peels: Chemical peels using Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are excellent for exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover. AHAs help to dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface, which is effective in preventing and reducing the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.

What can I expect during the deep cleansing facial extraction process? The process involves steaming to open up the pores, followed by manual extractions to remove blackheads and whiteheads. Post-extraction, a soothing mask is applied to calm the skin and reduce redness.
How often should I get a chemical AHA peel? The frequency of chemical peels depends on your specific skin type and concerns. Typically, we recommend a peel every 4-6 weeks for maintaining clear and healthy skin.
Are these treatments suitable for all skin types? Yes, our deep cleansing facials and chemical AHA peels can be customized for different skin types. Our skincare experts will assess your skin and recommend the best approach for you.
Is there any downtime after these treatments? There is minimal to no downtime required after a deep cleansing facial. For chemical peels, you might experience slight redness or peeling for a few days post-treatment.
How can I maintain the results at home? We recommend a daily skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing. Additionally, using non-comedogenic products can help prevent further blackheads and whiteheads.
What are the long-term benefits of these treatments? Regular treatments can help maintain a clear complexion, reduce the likelihood of acne flare-ups, and promote healthier skin overall.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
-
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
-
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
-
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
-
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
-
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
-
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
