 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pore-Refining Ritual?

An ablative laser resurfacing treatment that uses high powered Erbium: YAG Laser which causes ablative microcolumns (removal of skin tissue) on the skin through a fractional manner.

What can the Pore-Refining Ritual do for me?

This treatment helps bring back baby smooth skin, gets rid of acne scars, uneven skin texture, stubborn pigmentation, and fine lines. This also improves pore size, as well as your skin’s collagen production.

Which Pore-Refining Ritual option is best for me?

Both options are designed to refine skin texture and minimize pores, but the best choice depends on your skin’s condition and goals.

The Pore-Refining Ritual is ideal for those looking to smooth out skin texture, reduce the appearance of pores, and fade mild to moderate acne marks with minimal downtime. This version offers effective skin renewal at a gentler intensity, making it a great option for first-timers or those with sensitive skin.

The Intense Pore-Refining Ritual is best suited for those dealing with deeper acne scars, more prominent pores, and rougher skin texture. This advanced version works at a deeper level to accelerate healing and boost collagen production for smoother, clearer skin. Expect a slightly longer recovery time, but with more noticeable refinement.

Still unsure? Our experts will guide you during your consultation to recommend the best option for your skin’s needs.

What can the Expert Cleanse do for me?

If this treatment will be done at the recommended interval, you can expect less blackheads, and whiteheads as a result of regular professional extractions and serum infusion. The Expert Cleanse also ensures that your face is thoroughly cleansed, exfoliated, and smooth before the Pixel laser glides over it.

What service/s can I avail of along with the Pore-Refining Ritual?

The Pore-Refining Ritual combined with the Clear + Lift Ritual is the ultimate power-duo for tackling rougher texture, deeper scars and deeper pigmentation.

Suggested treatment combination plan:

  • Week 1: Pore-Refining Ritual
  • (4 weeks rest)
  • Week 5: The Clear + Lift Ritual
  • (2 weeks rest)
  • Week 7: Pore-Refining Ritual
  • (and so on and so forth)*
  • number of sessions depends on the result of your assessment from our skin therapists

How does the treatment feel like?

Minimal heat to nothing may be felt during the treatment due to topical anesthesia. As the laser will be targeting the superficial layers of the skin, it is normal to smell burnt skin.

How long will the treatment be?

Overall treatment time for the Pore-Refining Ritual may take 90 minutes, while the Intense Pore-Refining Ritual takes at most 95 minutes.

Your Skin Expert will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable option for your comfort during your session.

How long is the downtime?

Immediately after the treatment Redness and tiny pixelated white dots Redness and tiny pixelated white dots
1 day after Mild sunburnt appearance Sunburnt appearance
3 days after Dead skin/ scab will start to flake Dead skin/ scab will start to flake (3–4 days)
5 days after Better skin texture, fully healed skin Skin continues to heal
7 days after Better skin texture, fully healed skin

*You might still notice a few tiny dots after 2 weeks but this is normal and is evidence of your skin still healing.

Is there a trick to minimize the downtime?

Yes! The more hydrated your skin is, the lesser days of downtime. See to it that you are being generous to keep your skin’s hydration level up.

  • Use face masks – Sheet masks or overnight hydrating masks can provide an extra moisture boost. (after 2-3 days)
  • Drink plenty of water – Hydration starts from within! Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products – Stay away from alcohol-based toners, exfoliants, or strong actives that can further irritate skin.
  • Protect with SPF – Sun exposure can prolong downtime—always wear sunscreen, even indoors.

*Simply Skin offers an anti-inflammatory cream that you may consider using after your treatment to help soothe the skin and support recovery.

How should I prepare before the treatment?

24 hours:

  • No facial waxing/tweezing on the area to be treated

How will the procedure go?

  • Brief consultation and skin assessment
  • 30-minutes no-pricking pampering Expert Cleanse (with blackheads/whitehead extraction, serum infusion) for cleaner and smoother surface that will be easier to work on in terms of removing skin texture, acne marks and fine lines
  • An ablative laser treatment creates micro-scars on the upper layer of the skin to induce skin healing that boosts cell turnover essential for reducing the appearance of fine pores and acne marks & scars

How should I properly maintain my skin after the treatment?

Do's:

  • Sleep with your head elevated for two nights using two pillows to minimize swelling
  • Keep the area dry within the next 12-24 hours
  • Use a gentle cleanser on your face for 3 days
  • Consistent application (and re-application) of sunblock with at least SPF 30
  • Keep the treated area moisturized in the next 3 days by applying a gentle and mild moisturizer

Dont's:

  • Do not wash the area for at least 12-24 hours
  • Avoid sun exposure to the area for 2-3 weeks
  • Do not use harsh soap or skincare products like exfoliating acids or astringents for the next 1-2 weeks to prevent irritation
  • No make-up, friction, or excessive sweating for 3 days
  • Do not try to remove or scrub the scabs forcefully

When should I repeat the treatment for maximum results?

Progressive intervals of every 4 weeks.

Will one session be enough to reveal tighter and brighter skin?

Initial results can be seen in seven days, and will continuously improve over the next six weeks. To see major improvements, we recommend at least 5 sessions. However, please consider that the number of sessions depend on pigment severity, skin condition, consistency of treatment, medication taken and/or hormonal conditions.
