Deep cleanse facial at CoLaz clinics

A deep cleanse facial is a classic, customised cleansing facial that combines a double cleanse, gentle exfoliation, warm steam, manual extractions where appropriate, massage, a mask suited to your skin, and finishing serum, moisturiser and SPF. It is the foundation facial of the CoLaz menu, designed to refresh and reset the skin without the energy, acids or needling of more advanced treatments. Every step is tailored on the day based on what your skin needs.

It suits almost everyone. The classic candidate has congested or oily skin and wants a thorough cleanse with extractions, or dull, tired-looking skin needing a refresh without active treatments. It is also the best first-time facial for patients new to skincare in clinic, and a sensible monthly maintenance between bigger protocols such as peels, microneedling or laser. It is also our most budget-friendly entry point at £35 for a thirty-minute session.

Both treatments cleanse, refresh and brighten the skin without downtime. A Hydrafacial uses a specialised vortex-suction device to perform cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse steps in a defined multi-step protocol, with a more standardised intensity. A deep cleanse facial is a traditional, hands-on treatment with manual steps and a fully customised approach. Hydrafacial typically gives a stronger immediate glow; deep cleanse facial gives a more relaxing experience with a thorough hands-on cleanse.

Extractions are performed gently and only where the skin is ready for them. The sensation is a brief pressure rather than sharp pain; some patients find one or two particularly stubborn comedones uncomfortable for a few seconds, but most describe the process as tolerable. The therapist stops if any extraction is causing distress or risks bruising the skin. If your skin is not suitable for extractions on the day, they are simply skipped.

Monthly is the standard maintenance frequency, which mirrors the skin's natural renewal cycle. The course of six is built for a six-month maintenance plan at this rhythm. Some patients book a session every two to three months as a lighter rhythm; others alternate deep cleanse facials with Hydrafacial or oxygen facial across the year. The right rhythm for you is agreed at consultation.

Deep cleanse facials suit almost every skin type. We do not treat patients with active skin infections, severe rosacea flares, fresh sunburn, or open eczema in the treatment area. Patients on isotretinoin or with recent strong actives are reviewed at consultation; the protocol may be simplified to avoid irritation. Medical history is checked at every first appointment.

The thirty-minute deep cleanse facial is £35 single and £150 for a course of six (working out at £25 per session). The sixty-minute deep cleanse facial, which adds an extended massage, a longer mask and a more thorough extraction phase, is £55 single and £180 for a course of six (working out at £30 per session). The course of six is the most popular protocol because monthly facials mirror the skin's natural renewal cycle and the per-session cost drops significantly.
