Anyway, I was always reluctant to go because I scar easily and I read this interview with Heather Locklear years ago where she said she doesn't do facials because she doesn't want scars (I'm guessing overzealous use of the comedone extractor or blackhead tool would be the culprit).
And I also read somewhere that your skin doesn't look good immediately, but looks really good in a week or so. I've got a special occasion in a few weeks and would like to glow.
Is any of this true? Please, debunk, recommend, spill.

I get facials fairly regularly. I love them, but I often ask that they skip the extraction because I have similar concerns about possible scarring. Plus, it hurts like a bitch. If you go to a good place, they shouldn't blink an eye when you ask them to skip the extraction.
I'm not sure whether my skin is actually in better shape after the facials, but it feels smoother and cleaner and I do get that glow-y look, but it really only lasts for a couple of days.
The scalp/face/neck massage is heavenly. If I could train my SO to rub my scalp the way that Olga does, I could save a lot of spa $$$
