Japanese Deep Cleansing Acne Facial

If You’re Currently Going Through…

• Spending hundreds of dollars on skincare products that promise results but never deliver.
• Picking and squeezing your acne out of frustration, only to make it worse.
• Feeling self-conscious about your skin and relying on heavy makeup or photo filters to hide breakouts.
• Watching acne marks and redness linger long after the pimples are gone.

…then you’re not alone. Persistent acne in Singapore’s humid climate requires more than just surface-level spot creams. But what happens when you finally clear the deep-rooted congestion and let your skin truly heal?

This isn’t magic. It is the result of working with your skin’s natural barrier rather than aggressively stripping it. This barrier-first approach is the foundation of our Japanese Deep Cleansing Acne Facial. To understand why it works so well, we first have to rethink the most dreaded part of clearing acne: the extraction.

The Japanese Soft-Release Extraction Method

Japanese skincare philosophy favours gentleness over force, prioritising non-invasive methods that protect the pores from long-term inflammation. However, we know that Singapore’s hot, humid climate leads to excess sebum and stubborn clogged pores, making deep cleansing a necessity for many.

To bridge this gap, we developed the Japanese Soft-Release Extraction Method. Instead of aggressive squeezing that causes dark post-acne marks, our technique focuses on careful preparation, precision, and skin health:

Enzyme Softening

We apply a natural papain enzyme to digest dead skin cells and soften comedones, minimising the physical force needed to clear your pores and preventing tissue damage.

Targeted, Not Forced

We carefully assess your complexion and only clear areas that are ready, choosing to deeply soothe inflamed spots rather than forcing them.

Prioritising Barrier Protection

We pair our gentle extractions with immediate hydrating and calming care to safeguard your skin barrier and actively prevent post-treatment breakouts.

Why Yomogi? The Healing Power of Japanese Mugwort

After careful cleansing and extraction, acne-prone skin is vulnerable. It needs immediate comfort, not harshness. This is exactly where Yomogi completes the treatment.

Long revered as Japan’s “Queen of Herbs” for its healing properties, it has now been backed by modern dermatology, validating centuries of traditional wisdom. In fact, clinical research published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) highlights the potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Yomogi extract (a.k.a. Artemisia princeps). Instead of relying on harsh, drying chemicals, our facial harnesses this clinically studied botanical to heal your skin from the inside out:

• Reduces Inflammation: Instantly cools and calms angry, red, and swollen breakouts.
• Fights Bacteria: Natural antimicrobial properties help purify the skin to stop the breakout cycle.
• Soothes Irritation: Protects the skin barrier, helping your face feel less raw or bruised.
• Fades Acne Scars: Rich in antioxidants to accelerate skin repair and fade dark marks faster.

Here are the common skin issues that Yomogi can help with:

What to Expect During Your Acne Facial

Relax, unwind, and let us restore your skin. Here is exactly what happens during your session:

Step 1: Consultation & Skin Assessment

Before we begin, your therapist will carefully analyse your skin condition. This ensures we understand exactly which areas need deep clearing and which areas are too inflamed and require a gentler, soothing approach.

Step 2: Double Cleanse & Softening

We purify your skin and apply a natural papain enzyme. This crucial prep step helps break down dead skin cells and soften hardened comedones, ensuring your pores are ready for extraction with minimal physical pressure.

Step 3: Soft-Release Extraction

Included in our 90-minute Deep Cleansing & Extraction Acne Facial
Using our targeted technique, your therapist will gently clear ready-to-extract congestion. No forcing and no aggressive squeezing, just precise clearing that respects and protects your skin barrier.

Step 4: Hydrafacial Deep Pore Cleansing

We elevate the cleansing process with advanced Hydrafacial technology. This gently vacuums away loosened impurities, excess sebum, and debris while simultaneously bathing your pores in hydrating serums.

Step 5: Yomogi Herbal Steam & Recovery

To finish, your skin is enveloped in a soothing Yomogi herbal steam. This vital recovery phase infuses your pores with anti-inflammatory botanical antioxidants, completely calming the skin and neutralising any post-extraction redness so you walk out glowing.

“My skin is incredibly sensitive, and whenever I break out, my whole face gets red, hot, and irritated. I was scared a facial would just aggravate it more, but this was so soothing. Just a few days later, the angry redness was completely gone, and my skin finally felt calm.”
— Chloe, 24

• Skin Concern: Sensitive skin with visible redness
• Treatment Received: Deep Cleansing Acne Facial (60 mins)
• Treatment Log: Highly reactive skin. Bypassed extractions to avoid trauma. Focused on Yomogi’s cooling properties to soothe redness.

“I was so tired of waking up with painful, blind pimples along my jawline. I was hesitant to get extractions because they usually leave me bruised, but the therapist was incredibly gentle and knew exactly what she was doing. The painful bumps have completely flattened out. I still have some fading marks, but the difference in my skin’s texture is huge.”
— Supna, 26

• Skin Concern: Severe cystic acne breakouts
• Treatment Received: Deep Cleansing & Extraction Acne Facial (90 mins)
• Treatment Log: Deep cysts. Used sterile extractions over 6 sessions to clear blockages safely. Active bumps are now successfully flattened.

“I’ve dealt with breakouts for years, which left me with some pretty stubborn acne scars and rough texture. I didn’t expect miracles, but after a few months of consistent sessions, my active breakouts have stopped, and the older scars look so much shallower and less noticeable. My face looks cleaner and generally much healthier.”
— Jason, 32

• Skin Concern: Adult acne and uneven texture
• Treatment Received: Deep Cleansing & Extraction Acne Facial (90 mins)
• Treatment Log: Cleared active acne to stop breakouts. Older scars softened and smoothed out as inflammation was safely neutralised.
