The Acne Facial combines deep cleansing, gentle chemical exfoliation, professional extractions, and anti-inflammatory serums to clear congested pores. Our clinicians remove impurities, reduce bacterial load and inflammation, and apply balancing therapies to promote healing and prevent new breakouts.

Avoid heavy makeup, sun exposure, and active exfoliants for 48 to 72 hours. Use a gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and any prescribed topical treatments as directed. Keep skin clean, avoid picking, and follow your aesthetician's homecare plan to support healing.

You can often combine the Acne Facial with other non-invasive treatments, but disclose topical or oral acne medications first. Certain procedures should be spaced to avoid irritation. We coordinate with dermatologists and tailor timing to ensure safety and optimal results.
