What is deep facial cleansing in Medellín?
Deep facial cleansing in Medellín is a professional aesthetic procedure designed to deeply remove impurities, excess sebum, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and accumulated dead skin cells. Unlike a home cleansing routine, Dr. Catalina Henao's clinical protocol combines technology, medical-grade cosmetic actives and professional technique to truly transform the skin.
Facial cleansing in Medellín does more than decongest pores — it also primes the skin to better absorb subsequent treatments such as Dermapen, Skinbooster or chemical peels, significantly boosting their results.
- Removes impurities, sebum and dead skin cells
- Unclogs enlarged pores and reduces their appearance
- Reduces acne breakouts and controls excess oil
- Hydrates, brightens and improves skin texture
- Stimulates circulation and cellular renewal
- Finishes with SPF 50+ sun protection

Why choose a doctor for your facial cleansing in Medellín?
Facial cleansing in Medellín performed by a specialist doctor like Dr. Catalina Henao guarantees a genuine skin diagnosis, medical-grade products and extraction techniques with no risk of scarring or infection. It is a fundamentally different experience from a cleansing at a spa or conventional beauty salon — the difference lies in the diagnosis, the actives used and the safety of the procedure.
Facial cleansing in Medellín for acne
Anti-acne facial cleansing in Medellín is one of the most requested treatments at our El Poblado clinic. Mild to moderate acne responds excellently to deep cleansing: inflammation is reduced, obstructive comedones are eliminated and excess sebum that feeds bacteria is controlled.
For optimal results with active acne, Dr. Catalina typically combines deep facial cleansing with Dermapen, chemical peeling or actives such as azelaic acid, niacinamide and retinol — assessed in consultation.
Facial cleansing before other treatments
Facial cleansing in Medellín is the ideal preparatory step before any advanced aesthetic treatment. By unclogging pores and removing the layer of dead cells, active ingredients penetrate up to 40% deeper — making Skinbooster, Dermapen, biostimulators and peels considerably more effective.
Aftercare following a facial cleansing
- No make-up for the first 12 hours
- Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen
- Do not rub or exfoliate the skin for 48 hours
- Intensive hydration for the following 3 days
- Avoid intense exercise on the same day
Patients who had facial cleansing in Medellín
Real results at Dr. Catalina Henao's clinic, El Poblado, Medellín.
"I had been struggling with clogged pores and blackheads for months and nothing worked. After my first facial cleansing with Dr. Catalina my skin looked completely different — smooth, radiant and impurity-free. An incredible result."
"I have combination skin and my T-zone has always been very oily. After 3 monthly facial cleansings with Dr. Catalina my skin is balanced and my pores are visibly smaller. I love the results."
"I had a facial cleansing before Dermapen as the doctor recommended. The difference in results was enormous compared to Dermapen I'd had elsewhere without the proper prep. Very professional and thorough."
