What is the pHformula Oily and Congested Treatment?

The pHformula Oily and Congested Resurfacing  Facial Treatment is a powerful yet gentle treatment for oily and congested skin types. This treatment provides exfoliation while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier. It is an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment aimed at decongesting the skin and regulating oil production while still providing hydration. The strength of the treatment can be tailored to you. We usually start with a gentle facial treatment, which is more like an exfoliating facial and depending on your response, we can use stronger resurfacing ingredients to optimise your results.
This treatment can also brighten the skin and also address ageing concerns.

What does the pHformula Oily and Congested Treatment Involve?

This assists in cleansing and degreases the skin to guarantee optimum penetration of active ingredients.

25-minute DERMALUX treatment. (Select Dermalux add-on when booking)
DERMALUX uses colour wavelengths of visible light, which stimulate skin cells to repair and rejuvenate and also neutralise bacteria. Dermalux uses red light, blue light and infrared light. Blue light, in particular, can have a powerful effect on oily and congested skin, helping to kill bacteria, reduce acne, shrink pores and fight infection.

STEP 4:

SP Complex.
This gentle resurfacing complex exfoliates the skin and prepares it for further treatments by opening the cellular delivery channels. This allows better penetration of the active ingredients in the next steps and aids in activating the skin’s regeneration response. Here, we assess your skin sensitivity on a scale of 1-10, should you wish to move on to one of the stronger pHformula treatments next time.
Upon application of the complex, there will be a mild stinging sensation.

Impurities are absorbed without removing natural oils. Ferulic acid and Vitamin E provide an antioxidant effect to brighten discoloured skin. It also aids the skin’s ability to heal, repair, and protect itself from environmental damage. The mask is left on for up to 15 minutes.

STEP 6:
