When you have acne or other skin problems, you eventually learn that smelly portions and soothing massage is not going to solve the deep-pore issues. Melissa listens to your skin-history, has a good look, and gets cracking. She cleans, she steams, and she extracts and from my experience, leaves no trace of the extraction. I went in with spots, I came out with no spots, and not only is my skin still glowing 10 days on and I have not a trace sign of another spot.
