In most beauty salons, a deep facial cleansing with steam and manual blackhead extraction typically costs around 40 to 60 euros per session in Spain. In medical aesthetic or dermatological clinics, where techniques such as microdermabrasion or LED light therapy are added, the price can rise to around 70 or 80 euros.
The typical duration is 45 to 75 minutes, depending on whether massages, specific masks, or equipment are included. It's also common to find multi-session packages at a slightly lower price per treatment, designed for those who need regular maintenance.
Who performs this procedure safely?
The safest option is to go to an authorized beauty salon or a dermatological or medical aesthetics clinic where the procedure is performed by a professional trained in skin care. A certified esthetician is qualified to perform superficial extractions on healthy skin, provided they use sterilized equipment, gloves, and gentle techniques.
If you have inflammatory acne, very sensitive skin, rosacea, or another skin condition, it is best to book an appointment with a dermatologist so they can assess your case first and tailor the treatment. In all cases, it is advisable to have them explain which products will be used, possible side effects such as temporary redness, and the necessary aftercare following the session.
For individuals using strong topical treatments, such as 0.05% tretinoin for acne, the dermatologist may space out the facials, adjust the intensity of extractions, or recommend gentler products to prevent irritation.
Is it covered by public or private health insurance?
Neither the national health insurance nor most private health insurance plans cover facials with blackhead extraction. These treatments are considered purely cosmetic, not medical or necessary. What they usually do cover is a consultation with a dermatologist and any treatments prescribed for skin conditions. Cosmetic facials are not covered by the policy.
