What does desincrustation mean?

Desincrustation is a deep cleansing treatment that softens and emulsifies sebum and keratin in the follicle. It is an ideal treatment for pores in oily or congested skin to prepare for extractions. It can be used by itself after cleansing or if appropriate, incorporated with steaming.

The ideal way to perform desincrustation:

Using a combination of low voltage negative galvanic current and desincrustation gel, which provides a deep cleansing treatment.

How and where to perform desincrustation during the facial?

After finishing the cleanse portion of the facial, a desincrustation solution is applied to both the skin and the gauze/cotton covering the active electrode which is then moved over the affected area. Apply the desincrustation for 5-8 minutes, depending if it’s incorporated with a steamer or not. When choosing both the steamer and desincrustation together, use the steamer first then use desincrustation. This is then followed by manual extraction and the application of a purifying and calming disinfecting lotion, solution or serum with an acidic pH to make sure the pH of the skin is balanced. After completed, return back to the protocol of the treatment chosen by the client.
