Express Facials Melbourne
Don’t let being time poor stop you from taking care of yourself. Our collection of Express Facials are great for busy people, lunch breaks, Mum’s on-the-go and those sneaky work from home days. They’re even great between your monthly facial or as a last minute date night pick-me-up.
The Aesthetic Lounge Difference
At The Aesthetic Lounge we do things differently, because we understand one crucial foundation of achieving results; if you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail. To us, skin preparation is the single most important step to achieve the skin you have always dreamt of having. Our results are testament to this. Our Starter Treatments are gentle enough for skins that haven’t been prepared on our prescribed skincare, but are still targeted enough to promote healthy, strong skin, ready for our Advanced Treatments.
Why Express Skin Treatments?
Each treatment at The Aesthetic Lounge has one purpose; to transform your skin by maximising the results of every single treatment you experience.
Our results driven Starter and Advanced Treatments are so popular that we decided to choose our most popular, results driven treatments to create our power packed express treatments for any skin’s in need of a little TLC.

- What Are Extractions?
-
Extractions are the manual removal of lumps and bumps from under the skin. This includes; congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, breakouts and milia.
Extractions aid in detoxing and smoothing the skin, they also allow it to heal faster and prevent pink, brown or indented scarring that is often left behind after a breakout. Temporary swelling may be present after extractions, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
All our treatments with extractions include High Frequency where suitable.
Some bumps are not able to be removed with extractions, but may be suitable for Lamprobe removal.
- What Is High Frequency And How Will It Help My Skin?
-
High Frequency is a comfortable, quick and effective treatment for active breakouts, post extractions, poor healers and cold sores before they have erupted.
A low alternating electrical current is used and ozone gas is produced for an antibacterial and healing effect. You may feel tingling, warmth or have a mild metallic taste during the treatment.
High Frequency is not suitable for clients with braces, epilepsy, pacemakers, high blood pressure or during pregnancy.
- Is It Normal To Get Breakouts After A Facial?

If you have a lot of dead skin build-up, dehydration or deep congestion, you may breakout a couple of days after your facial while the skin is detoxifying. If this occurs, regular treatments are recommended to get on top of underlying congestion and prevent future breakouts.
