More often than not, no matter what type of skin a client has - they always require at least a few extractions. Our skin has approximately 20,000 pores on the face alone. The pores can be easily clogged by sweat, dirt, oil, makeup, etc.

As practitioners, when we are performing an extraction - our goal is to get the “seed” out. The seed is the base of the pimple where it all started. Once we completely clear out the pore, it can finally close up and heal. At VH skincare, we always perform manual extractions. Though we also love machines that use ultrasonic technology for at-home use, there is nothing that relieves the pore quite like a professional's hands.

During each one of our custom facials we always include extractions. The first step when we set up a skincare program for new clients is clearing any breakouts / congestion. After that, you move into phase 2 of our program which is where we address pigmentation, texture, and tone!
