An Acne Facial is a specialized treatment designed for acne-prone skin. It focuses on deep cleansing, oil control, and pore detoxification, helping to reduce breakouts and improve overall skin health. Treatments are tailored by estheticians or dermatologists to address your skinβs specific needs, particularly for active acne.
β¨ How It Works
The procedure uses professional techniques and acne-fighting products to promote clear, healthy skin:
- Cleansing & Preparation β Skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil.
- Exfoliation β Gentle exfoliation with chemical or mechanical methods removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
- Extraction β If necessary, blackheads and whiteheads are carefully extracted to prevent future breakouts.
- Acne-Fighting Treatment Application β Serums, masks, or creams containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or tea tree oil are applied to reduce inflammation and fight bacteria.
- Hydration & Soothing β Moisturizers and calming products restore hydration and reduce irritation.
The treatment is non-invasive, customized to skin type, and designed to minimize irritation while promoting clearer, healthier skin.
