Types of Facial Cleansing: Mechanical, Ultrasonic and Carbon Peel — Which One Suits You

Facial cleansing is the most popular treatment in cosmetology. But “cleansing” is not one treatment: mechanical, ultrasonic, carbon peel and peel-based cleansing all act on the skin differently. The wrong choice can redden sensitive skin or worsen inflamed acne. Here are the types offered at Radeski and who each suits.

Mechanical facial cleansing

After steaming, the cosmetologist removes blackheads and clogged pores by hand with sterile instruments. At Radeski it is done with Innoaesthetics professional products.

• Suits: oily and combination skin, many blackheads (comedones).
• Note: redness may last a day or two; not for sensitive skin with visible vessels.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing

Ultrasonic waves gently clean the surface layer of the skin and lift dead cells, with almost no trauma.

• Suits: sensitive, dry or thin skin, light congestion, regular care.
• Note: it does not fully clear deep comedones — it can be combined with mechanical cleansing.

Carbon peel (Hollywood Spectra)

A carbon mask is applied and then treated with the Hollywood Spectra Q-switch laser. The carbon draws oil and debris out of the pores, and the laser renews the skin surface.

• Suits: enlarged pores, oily skin, dull complexion, mild acne marks.
• Note: almost no downtime; can be combined with “gold toning”.

Cleansing with PRX-T33

PRX-T33 is a peel that renews the skin without heavy flaking. It improves tone and glow.

• Suits: dull, uneven skin, small marks, when you want a quick result.

When cleansing is the wrong step

• Inflamed, pus-filled acne — mechanical cleansing can spread infection. A dermatologist treats it first.
• Rosacea and couperose — steaming and pressure make redness worse; other treatments are chosen.
• Cold sores, open wounds or skin infection — cleansing is postponed.

How often?

Cleansing is usually done every 1–2 months or as your skin needs. At home, gentle cleansing, moisturiser and daily SPF keep the result longer. Avoid make-up and hot saunas for 1–2 days afterwards.
