Before Treatment:

For best results, avoid using active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for 3–5 days before your facial. Please discontinue any exfoliating treatments or acne medications unless otherwise directed by your provider. Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, sunscreen, or heavy skincare products. If you are currently using prescription topical acne medications, let your esthetician know before your treatment so adjustments can be made for your skin’s sensitivity.

During Treatment:

During your Acne Facial, your esthetician will begin with a deep cleanse to remove excess oil and debris, followed by gentle exfoliation and targeted extractions to clear congestion. A soothing or purifying mask is then applied to calm inflammation and balance the skin.

After Treatment:

After treatment, mild redness may occur but typically subsides within a few hours. Skin will feel cleaner, smoother, and refreshed. With consistent sessions, patients often notice reduced breakouts, smoother texture, and an overall improvement in skin clarity and balance.
