What to Know for Your First Hot Towel and Extractions Experience

Feeling nervous about your first hot towel and extractions appointment is completely normal. To ease your mind, our experienced team focuses on a gentle skin-cleansing process complemented by soothing hot towels that enhance relaxation and effectiveness. You may feel a bit uncomfortable, but with our effective aftercare, any redness or irritation will be minimized. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to prepare and what to expect during your visit.

How to Prep for Your Hot Towel Experience

Before your appointment, it’s important to prepare your skin to get the best results from the extraction process. We recommend arriving with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products. Communicate openly with your specialist about any skin concerns or medical histories that may affect your treatment. This ensures we can tailor the process for your unique skin type. A little preparation goes a long way toward a satisfying experience.

A Step-by-Step Walkthrough of Your Visit

When you arrive at our Astoria location, you’ll be greeted warmly by our team. We will start with a thorough consultation to discuss your skin concerns. Then, after you’re comfortably settled, we’ll begin with hot towel applications, which feel incredibly relaxing. After that, we move to the extraction process, where our skilled therapist will gently remove any impurities. The initial sensations might be slightly uncomfortable, but most clients describe it as very tolerable.

Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Results

Once your appointment is finished, it's common to feel a bit of sensitivity or warmth on your skin. We generally recommend avoiding direct sunlight, heavy makeup, and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours. Use a gentle moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Most clients notice clearer skin and even mention they feel calmer post-appointment. If you’re experiencing significant redness, reach out to us for advice on aftercare. We recommend scheduling follow-up sessions every four to six weeks for optimal results.
