BLEMISH FACIAL
in York

Blemish is a deeply clarifying facial developed by Dr Amy Watson to support patients with problematic skin. At its core is a targeted chemical peel, containing a carefully balanced blend of azelaic, lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids, chosen for their antibacterial, exfoliating, and anti-inflammatory properties.

This treatment works by dissolving debris, unclogging pores, and gently sterilising the skin- helping to prevent future breakouts while soothing any current inflammation. The facial is finished with a cooling step, mask, and Dermalux LED to further reduce redness and support skin healing.

It’s an ideal treatment for teens, adults with hormonal acne, or anyone managing persistent congestion or oily skin.

Your treatment begins with a thorough double cleanse and gentle exfoliation to prepare the skin. A lymphatic drainage massage helps flush out toxins and support circulation. The blemish peel is then applied, followed by a soothing, clarifying mask. Once removed, a cooling step helps calm the skin before Dermalux LED therapy targets inflammation and supports cellular repair. Moisturiser and SPF complete the treatment.

Every stage is designed to reset your skin- removing what’s no longer needed, and reinforcing the skin’s barrier with hydration and care.

The Blemish facial works on both the immediate concerns and the long-term resilience of blemish-prone skin. Regular sessions help:

• Clear and prevent breakouts

• Reduce inflammation and post-inflammatory redness

• Unclog and refine enlarged pores

• Improve overall skin texture and tone

• Support clearer, calmer, more balanced skin

With zero downtime for most skin types, it’s an effective yet gentle way to reset your skin and regain confidence.

This facial is ideal for anyone experiencing regular breakouts, hormonal acne, or excessive oiliness. If you feel like your current skincare isn’t controlling congestion or you’re noticing flare-ups, this facial can help interrupt that cycle.

It’s also suitable for patients preparing for other clinical treatments like microneedling, or as part of a wider skincare maintenance plan. Express versions are also available for a quicker refresh.

Most patients leave the clinic with visibly calmer, clearer skin. Some may experience mild redness or skin shedding 24–48 hours post-peel, depending on sensitivity, but this is temporary and part of the renewal process.

There’s no need to cancel plans- just ensure you follow aftercare advice and use SPF. Your skin will continue to improve over the following days.

The cost of a Blemish facial depends on the package you would like. One facial is £125, a course of 3 is £325. There is also an express option, which is £89.
