Deep Clean & Detox Facial Toronto — When "My Pores Are Clogged" ($159)
"My pores are clogged." It's how many guests describe their skin when they call Imperial Retreat, often while pointing at their nose, chin, or forehead. Blackheads that keep coming back, a shiny T-zone by lunchtime, pores that look bigger than they used to. The Deep Clean & Detox is our 70-minute deep cleansing facial in Toronto, offered at our Etobicoke and Newmarket locations, built for exactly that feeling of congested, heavy skin.
At $159, it gives your aesthetician the time to do a proper deep clean, with extended extractions and a calming finish so skin leaves looking clearer and feeling lighter. Before anything starts, your aesthetician does a quick skin check and customizes each step to what your skin can comfortably handle.
Why Pores Feel Clogged
Pore congestion builds up slowly. Your skin makes oil every day, sheds dead cells every day, and collects SPF, makeup, sweat, and city air on top. A good cleanser handles the surface, but some of that buildup settles deeper into the pore over time. That's when you start to notice:
Blackheads on the nose, chin, and around the mouth
Small bumps and rough patches that makeup sits on top of
Shine and oiliness that comes back quickly after washing
Pores that look more visible, especially in bright light
Squeezing at home tends to leave skin red and irritated, and it rarely clears the area properly. A professional deep cleansing facial gives your skin a careful reset, with the right prep, the right technique, and calming care afterwards.
What to Expect, Step by Step
Every Deep Clean & Detox follows the same staff protocol. Your aesthetician adjusts it to your skin as they go.
Step 1: Cleanse and Prep
A thorough cleanse removes makeup, SPF, and surface oil. Your aesthetician then preps the skin so the deeper work can be done more comfortably.
Step 2: Deep-Cleansing Step
A deeper cleansing step loosens the buildup sitting inside the pores and lifts dull surface cells. This makes the next steps gentler and more effective.
Step 3: Steam (If Appropriate)
Warm steam softens the skin and helps loosen congestion. If your skin is sensitive or easily flushed, your aesthetician may shorten or skip this step.
Step 4: Extended Extractions
This is the heart of the session. Your aesthetician takes their time clearing blackheads and congested pores with careful, controlled technique, working area by area rather than rushing. Spots that are inflamed or tender are left alone.
Step 5: Calming Care
After extractions, a soothing step calms the skin, cools any redness, and helps it settle. Your skin should feel comfortable, not tight or raw.
Step 6: LED
The session finishes with LED light, a quiet, relaxing step that supports the skin after a deep clean. Many guests use these few minutes to simply rest.
What Our Guests Notice
A line cook from Mississauga who works long shifts over a hot grill booked the Deep Clean & Detox after his partner kept pointing out the blackheads across his nose. He had never had a facial and expected it to be uncomfortable. His aesthetician kept the steam short and spent most of the session on extractions around his nose and chin. He said the biggest surprise was how much lighter his skin felt afterwards, and that his nose looked noticeably smoother in the mirror. He now books every six weeks, usually on his day off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my skin be red after the Deep Clean & Detox?
Some mild redness around the extraction areas is normal and usually fades within a few hours. If you have an event, we suggest booking at least a day ahead.
Do extractions hurt?
Most guests describe extractions as a pinching or pressing feeling rather than pain. Your aesthetician works carefully, checks in with you, and will pause or adjust if anything feels too much.
How often should I book a deep cleansing facial?
Every 4–6 weeks suits most guests with oily or congested skin. It keeps buildup from settling back in between visits.
Is it suitable for oily and combination skin?
Yes. Oily and combination skin is usually the most prone to congestion, which is why this facial is popular with those skin types.
What's the difference between this and the Microderm Skin Renewal?
The Deep Clean & Detox focuses on clearing clogged pores through extractions. Microderm Skin Renewal focuses on surface texture and the look of pores. If you're unsure, your aesthetician can suggest the better fit after a quick skin check.
Can men book the Deep Clean & Detox?
Absolutely. Many of our male guests choose it first, especially those who shave daily, work in heat, or don't have much of a skincare routine.
