Complete service guide

What this treatment is designed to do.

A customized facial using a salicylic-focused exfoliating step for oily, congested, or blemish-prone skin.

The Salicylic Acid Facial is Shihan's more congestion-focused facial. The saved menu describes deep cleansing, a salicylic exfoliating step, deep-pore extractions, and Purple LED Light Therapy; each step is used only when current skin tolerance and the studio protocol support it. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and is often chosen around blackheads, excess oil, clogged-looking pores, or blemish-prone skin. This is cosmetic skin care, not a promise to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, heal acne, erase acne scarring, or produce long-term medical clarity.

A professional facial is a sequence, not one universal formula. Cleansing removes surface buildup; exfoliation is selected according to the named service and current sensitivity; extractions are performed only when appropriate; and masks, serums, moisturizers, or light-based finishing steps may be chosen around the agreed goal. Product strength and technique should match the skin seen that day rather than a label alone.

Preparation and aftercare

Protect your appointment and result.

Use the written instructions given for your appointment; this guide does not replace individualized directions.

Before your visit

  • Pause experimenting with new strong products immediately before the visit.
  • Tell Nahid about retinoids, acne medication, recent peels, injections, lasers, waxing, sun exposure, and active irritation.
  • Do not stop a prescribed medication unless the prescribing clinician tells you to do so.
  • Schedule around important events if your skin commonly becomes pink, dry, or sensitive after exfoliation.
  • List every acid, exfoliant, retinoid, acne treatment, and recent hair-removal service used near the area.

After your visit

  • Keep the routine gentle and use only the products recommended for the immediate post-facial period.
  • Avoid picking, scrubbing, or layering strong exfoliants onto newly treated skin.
  • Protect the skin from unnecessary sun exposure and follow the sun-protection guidance provided at the visit.
  • Contact the studio if redness, swelling, discomfort, or another response is stronger or lasts longer than expected.
  • Do not stack another peel, scrub, retinoid, or hair-removal service onto freshly exfoliated skin.

Pause and check first

Tell the studio before booking when any of these apply.

  • Active rash, infection, open skin, sunburn, or significant irritation.
  • A recent procedure or medication that changes skin sensitivity.
  • A history of difficult reactions to acids, enzymes, fragrances, or facial products.
  • Uncertainty about whether a facial or a medical dermatology visit is the better next step.

Important: This information is educational. Individual comfort, response, healing, longevity, and maintenance vary, and a medical concern belongs with an appropriately licensed health professional.

Who may be a good fit?

This service may be worth discussing when your priority is professional cleansing and exfoliation planned around congestion and current skin sensitivity. Fit is confirmed by comparing professional cleansing and exfoliation planned around congestion and current skin sensitivity with the treatment area, current condition, relevant history, and expectations.

What should I share before booking?

Before booking, pause experimenting with new strong products immediately before the visit. Tell Nahid about retinoids, acne medication, recent peels, injections, lasers, waxing, sun exposure, and active irritation. Do not stop a prescribed medication unless the prescribing clinician tells you to do so. Those details help Nahid decide whether the safest next step for professional cleansing and exfoliation planned around congestion and current skin sensitivity is the planned appointment, an adjustment, a delay, or another service.

What should I expect afterward?

Afterward, keep the routine gentle and use only the products recommended for the immediate post-facial period. Avoid picking, scrubbing, or layering strong exfoliants onto newly treated skin. Protect the skin from unnecessary sun exposure and follow the sun-protection guidance provided at the visit.

Will I need maintenance or more than one appointment?

Some clients book facials around seasons or events; others use a series. Frequency should follow skin response and goals, not a fixed promise. The next visit is based on how the treated area responds and whether professional cleansing and exfoliation planned around congestion and current skin sensitivity remains the priority.
