He came in with combination, breakout-prone skin: congested pores on the nose and cheeks, uneven texture, residual dark marks from past breakouts, and an overall dullness.

Licensed Esthetician Gina Maltese built the protocol around what the skin was showing, combining several technologies in a deliberate sequence:

Cleanse → HydroDiamond→ Cold Plasma → Infuse → Protect

Client: male
Skin type: combination / breakout-prone, Fitzpatrick V
Main concern: congested pores, uneven texture, dullness
Visible signs: pore congestion (nose + cheeks), residual dark marks, uneven tone, visible blackheads
Sessions: 2
Recommended every 4–6 weeks
Protocol goal: clearer-looking pores, smoother texture, and overall skin refinement
Visible result: a clearer pore zone, smoother texture, more even tone, and a more radiant look

The result came from a sequence where each step set up the next: first a cleansed, softened surface, then controlled extractions over prepared pores, then support for an even look and hydration over the already-refined skin.

After two sessions, the skin looked clearer, smoother, and more even in tone.

After the first session, the client said his skin felt smooth and clean, and the difference in his pores — especially on the nose — was visible right away.

Visible Result After Two Session

• pores on the nose look noticeably clearer, with less congestion
• texture is smoother and more refined
• fewer visible blackheads and less surface buildup
• more even tone; residual dark marks look softer
• a fresher, more radiant look with more even light reflection
• a calmer, more balanced-looking complexion

• Prep the surface chemically/enzymatically before extractions. Softened congestion comes out in a more controlled, atraumatic way.
• Control the vacuum. Strong enough to be effective, gentle enough to stay in control.
• Cold plasma strengthens the protocol result: it supports surface decontamination after extractions and better skin receptivity to the next serum.
• Focus on the most congested zones — the nose and cheeks — but work the whole face for an even result.
• A series delivers a better result than a single session. The effect builds from session to session.
