What the treatment does
The Clarifying HydraFacial at Sheila Marie Aesthetics centers on extended extractions to clear clogged follicles, followed by a personalized specialty booster serum selected for your skin concerns. High-frequency therapy is applied to reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface, and LED light therapy helps calm oiliness and congestion in targeted areas.
Each step is chosen after a brief assessment so the booster and intensity of extractions suit your current skin condition. This clarifying sequence is especially recommended for oily, acne-prone skin and is shaped by seasonal patterns in San Mateo, where summer humidity often increases oil production and congestion.
What happens during your visit
Visits begin with a focused consultation reviewing your current routine, breakout history, and sensitivity. The treatment progresses through extended extractions to remove buildup, application of the chosen specialty booster serum, targeted high-frequency to address surface bacteria, and finishing LED light therapy to soothe and support clearer-looking skin.
Clients consistently note the thorough, explanatory approach and immediate improvements in texture and radiance after the procedure. Because extractions are part of the protocol, brief redness can occur; Sheila will give practical aftercare steps to help skin recover and maintain results between appointments.
Choosing the right treatment
Choose the Clarifying HydraFacial if you struggle with persistent oiliness, recurring breakouts, or visible congestion that basic cleansing doesn’t resolve. Scheduling around high-risk months — June, July, and September — can help manage seasonal spikes in oil and post-summer breakouts common in the local climate.
The service is offered at $275. During your consultation discuss past treatments and current goals so the booster serum and extraction approach are matched to your needs. Clients from Burlingame to Foster City value the Central San Mateo location near Hillsdale Shopping Center and convenient access from US‑101 and Caltrain.
