Acne facials support cleansing, oil control and selected extractions for congested, acne-prone skin. We tailor treatment to your sensitivity, current products and overall acne-care plan.
Inflammatory, cystic or scarring acne needs medical evaluation. When prescription treatment is appropriate, we help coordinate that care.
What to Expect from an Acne Facial
What can an acne facial include?
Depending on your skin, treatment may include gentle cleansing, exfoliation, selected blackhead and whitehead extractions, hydration and LED light therapy as an adjunct.
Can an acne facial clear acne?
A facial may improve congestion and the feel of the skin, but it does not address every cause of acne. Persistent inflammatory breakouts often need a consistent topical or oral treatment plan.
When should I see a dermatology clinician?
Painful nodules or cysts, acne that is leaving scars or dark marks, or acne that persists despite over-the-counter products should be medically evaluated. See our medical acne treatment page.
Can acne facials cause irritation?
Yes. Over-exfoliation, aggressive extraction and irritating products can worsen inflammation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Treatment should be adjusted for skin sensitivity and pigment risk.
