Prior to a facial, you are likely to undergo a general consultation where you and your doctor can discuss your overall skin goals and the different ways that they can help.

A facial usually begins with a cleansing that often involves a gentle massage of the neck and face. Exfoliation and extraction are also usual parts of most facial treatments, the goal of these is to remove dead skin cells and clear the pores which can become clogged with oil. This process often involves the removal of milder and more visible forms of acne such as whiteheads and blackheads.
