Blackheads

What is a blackhead?

A blackhead is a small, black lump or plug caused by a blocked skin pore. As oil (called sebum, the same oil that produces pimples) builds up behind the blockage, it reacts with the air and turns darker and that’s where the name comes from.

The good news is that there are 2 excellent, quick, pain-free treatments for clogged pores and blackheads. Just make an appointment at your nearest salon providing Totalcare treatments and, using the very latest skincare technology, your skin will be clear, smooth and free from blackheads within minutes.

The experts recommend:

This is an excellent treatment in 3 steps:

First of all, Gala Limpiderm deep cleansing gel is drawn deep into your skin’s pores using a tiny electric current to clean out your pores, removing any debris and excess oil.

Then a gentle vacuum takes away any dead cells, clogged pores and blackheads.

Finally, any deeper blackheads are treated with Vitapeel Ion micro crystals that carefully remove the upper layer of the epidermis before the vacuum once again clears everything away.

The Vital O2 treatment is a natural therapy that features Gala Enzyderm, an enzymatic peel that biologically digests dead skin cells. This helps to prepare the skin before Gala’s purifying endocometic serum is applied using Vital O2 oxygen to purify your skin, clearing out the clogged pores and blackheads and balancing your skin’s secretions to prevent reoccurrence.
