Vivid Clarifying Facial
A clarifying facial is not a punishment scrub. It is congestion management: cleansing, measured exfoliation, extractions when they will help rather than scar, and a clarifying infusion. If your acne needs medication, light, or a real program, this facial is a chapter — not the book.

If you book this
A visit for vivid clarifying facial
01
What kind of congestion is this?
Closed comedones, inflamed papules, and hormonal jawline acne are not treated with the same hands.
02
Extract with a reason
If extraction will leave a mark for a Thursday presentation, we skip it. Clearing is not the same as picking.
03
Home care or the facial was theater
Pillowcases, hair products, and the cleanser you ‘like the smell of’ are part of the visit.
From Dr. Donzo
“I do not romanticize extractions. They are a tool. If you need a prescription or IPL, a clarifying facial without that conversation is a stall.”
— Dr. Donzo, Internal Medicine Physician
FAQ
Questions worth answering.
Will you extract everything?
Only what is appropriate. Aggressive extraction on inflamed cysts is how scars start.
Is this the same as the acne program?
No. The acne facial program is broader — assessment, possible IPL, prescriptions. This is the clarifying facial inside the skin menu.
Can I wear makeup after?
We would rather you go light. If you have an event, tell us so we can choose a finish that will not clog what we just cleared.
How soon will I break out less?
One facial can look better the next morning and still rebound if home care does not change. We judge programs in weeks, not hours.
