If you’re dealing with acne and haven’t found success with over-the-counter products or home remedies, an acne facial might be the solution your skin needs. At Estetika Med Spa, we understand that trying something new—especially a professional skin treatment—can feel a little overwhelming at first. That’s why we’ve put together this in-depth guide to help you feel confident, comfortable, and informed before booking your first appointment.
What Is an Acne Facial?
An acne facial is a specialized skincare treatment that targets acne breakouts, inflammation, clogged pores, and post-acne scarring. Unlike general facials, acne facials are tailored specifically for problematic, congested, or oily skin. They combine deep cleansing, exfoliation, gentle extractions, soothing masks, and acne-fighting ingredients—all chosen based on your skin’s unique needs.
At Estetika Med Spa, every acne facial is completely customized. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal breakouts, adult acne, or teenage acne, our experienced estheticians will design a treatment that supports clear, healthy skin without causing irritation or damage.
Step-by-Step: Your First Acne Facial Experience
1. Skin Analysis and Consultation
Your visit begins with a personalized skin analysis. One of our licensed estheticians will sit down with you to examine your skin, ask questions about your skincare routine, lifestyle, and health history, and discuss your goals. This step ensures that the treatment is 100% customized to your skin type and the type of acne you’re experiencing.
We’ll take time to listen and understand your concerns—whether it’s stubborn blackheads, painful cysts, or lingering redness. Our goal is to build a plan that works for you.
2. Deep Cleansing
Once the consultation is complete, we’ll begin with a gentle, deep cleanse using professional-grade products that remove dirt, oil, makeup, and buildup without stripping the skin. This prepares your skin for the rest of the treatment and ensures maximum absorption of active ingredients.
3. Exfoliation
Next, we exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells and help unclog pores. This may involve a gentle scrub, an enzyme treatment, or a mild chemical exfoliant like salicylic or glycolic acid—depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Exfoliation is essential in treating acne because it helps prevent blockages and improves skin texture.
4. Extractions (If Needed)
Extractions are the process of removing blackheads, whiteheads, and other debris from the pores. At Estetika Med Spa, we perform extractions carefully and hygienically to avoid irritation or scarring. This step is optional and done only if your skin is ready for it. Clients often report how satisfying it feels to have stubborn clogged pores finally cleared out by a professional!
5. Soothing and Acne-Fighting Treatments
After extractions, we apply customized masks or serums to calm the skin and target acne. This may include anti-inflammatory ingredients like tea tree oil, sulfur, niacinamide, or soothing botanicals. These treatments reduce redness, kill acne-causing bacteria, and promote healing.
We also use cooling masks or high-frequency tools (if needed) to reduce inflammation and boost circulation, helping your skin recover quickly.
6. Hydration and Protection
Even acne-prone skin needs moisture. We finish the facial with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and balanced. We also apply SPF if you’ll be going outside, as post-treatment skin is more sensitive to the sun.
What to Expect After the Treatment
Most clients leave their facial feeling clean, refreshed, and with noticeably smoother skin. You might experience slight redness, especially after extractions, but this usually fades within a few hours. Your esthetician will provide aftercare instructions and product recommendations to support your skin in the days following your treatment.
If needed, we’ll help you set up a treatment plan—whether it’s monthly facials, at-home products, or a combination of both—to help you maintain results and continue healing your skin over time.
