Belle Cherie
Extraction Facial
Our extraction facial is a relatively simple process where your compacted or clogged pores are cleared by either a mechanical or manual process. Essentially, extractions are carried out during a regular facial.
Milia happen when the dead skin cells don't slough away. Instead, they get caught under the new skin, harden, and form a milium. Milia can also happen because of: Skin damage from something like a rash, an injury, or sun exposure.
If the Milia is small enough, it may go away on its own by rubbing the area and then the body may absorb it. If it is big then you may need to get it chemically or manually removed.
Belle Cheriee use a sterile needle to remove the tiny flap of skin trapping the keratin inside the pore.
