Acne Facial
Clear. Calm. Control.
Acne isn’t just about breakouts. It is often the result of excess oil, congestion, inflammation, and an impaired skin barrier. Our Acne + Oil Control Facial is designed to target active blemishes while supporting healthier skin long-term. Using physician-grade ZO® Skin Health products, gentle exfoliation, professional extractions, and blue light therapy, this treatment helps reduce congestion, calm inflammation, and promote a clearer complexion without over-stripping the skin.
Every treatment is customized based on your skin’s condition and goals. Whether you’re experiencing occasional breakouts, persistent acne, or excess oil production, this facial works to improve skin health while creating a treatment plan that fits your needs. We often recommend pairing professional treatments with a personalized home skincare regimen for the best results.
Clear skin starts with healthy skin. Professional treatments combined with the right home routine can dramatically improve breakouts, reduce oil production, and restore confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this facial for?
This treatment is ideal for teens and adults experiencing acne, blackheads, clogged pores, oily skin, or frequent breakouts. It is appropriate for many skin types and can be customized based on your skin’s needs.
What makes this facial different?
Unlike a traditional facial, this treatment is specifically designed to address acne-prone skin. It combines professional exfoliation, a ZO Stimulator Peel, extractions, a complexion clearing mask, and blue light therapy to reduce congestion, calm inflammation, and improve overall skin health.
What products do you use?
We use physician-grade ZO® Skin Health products throughout the treatment, including exfoliating ingredients and oil-controlling formulations designed to support clearer, healthier skin.
What is blue light therapy?
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin while helping calm inflammation. It is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that complements professional acne facials and supports clearer skin over time.
Will I have extractions?
If needed, professional extractions are performed to safely remove blackheads and clogged pores. Every extraction is done carefully to minimize irritation while improving congestion.
Does it include a chemical peel?
Yes. This facial includes the ZO® Stimulator Peel, often called the “Red Carpet Peel.” It provides gentle exfoliation to brighten skin, improve texture, and help reduce congestion without significant downtime.
Will I have downtime?
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Your skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours, especially after extractions, and mild dryness or flaking can occur over the next few days as your skin renews itself.
How often should I receive this facial?
For active acne, we often recommend a series of treatments every 2-4 weeks depending on the severity of your skin concerns. Once your skin improves, maintenance treatments every 4-8 weeks help keep breakouts under control.
Will I need a skincare routine at home?
Yes. Professional treatments are only one part of achieving clear, healthy skin. You’re welcome to bring your current skincare products to your appointment, and we’ll review your routine to determine what’s working and what may be contributing to your breakouts. Based on your skin’s needs, we may recommend physician-grade ZO® Skin Health products, and if appropriate, one of our nurse practitioners may recommend prescription-strength therapies to help you achieve the best possible results.
How long does the treatment take?
Plan on approximately 60-75 minutes for your appointment, allowing time for your customized treatment, blue light therapy, extractions, and relaxing facial massage.
