Your concern
Skin Congestion
Skin congestion refers to the build-up of dead skin cells, excess oil, bacteria, and environmental impurities within the pores — leading to dullness, blackheads, texture irregularities, and breakouts. Unlike acne, which is often hormonal or inflammatory, congestion typically results from surface-level blockage, poor exfoliation, or the use of occlusive products.
At Aestheté Sunshine Coast, we take a customised, skin-first approach to clearing congestion — combining deep cleansing facials, advanced device therapies, and medical-grade skincare to refine, balance, and reset your skin.
