You may be right though, facials have their place, but they should be done too often. I sometimes find that my aesthetician extracts a small pimple only for it to heal and me have this big dark spot for a month. Sometimes it's just not worth it. I find that if something ever comes up to the surface I can massage it out better with clean hands and it heals alot faster.
I think facials are great, but they're not the end all be all, and this coming from someone who is a big time fan of them and my aesthetician has 34 years of experience. SHe's the only one allowed to touch my face so she knows me well and I know her well.
