What the treatment does
Deep pore detox and cleansing focus on removing trapped sebum, surface debris, and environmental impurities that contribute to congestion. Dermaplaning completes the treatment by gently exfoliating dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, improving skin texture. Together these steps reduce the visual appearance of pore congestion without invasive procedures.
The combined procedure yields clear, smooth, and polished skin with visibly refined pores and a radiant glow, as described in the service overview. Expect immediate surface smoothness after dermaplaning and clearer pores after the detox step, though individual outcomes depend on skin condition and ongoing care.
Who should consider it
This treatment is appropriate for clients seeking mechanical exfoliation and deeper pore cleansing without medical procedures. It addresses fine vellus hair and the accumulation of surface dead cells that dull skin. During consultation at Studio Chique we discuss skin history, current products, and any conditions that might affect suitability.

What to expect afterward
Afterward the skin feels smoother and makeup often applies more evenly, while refined pores can make texture appear more polished. Follow your esthetician’s aftercare recommendations, protect the skin from strong sun exposure, and avoid abrasive home exfoliants until your aesthetician advises it's appropriate.
