Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Basic Acne Facial.

Yes. The Basic Acne Facial is tailored to oily and many sensitive skin types using gentle enzymes, steam, and careful extractions. We assess skin first and adjust products to minimize irritation; discuss allergies or active treatments before proceeding to ensure safety.

Appointments usually last 45 to 60 minutes depending on skin condition and extraction needs. We allow extra time for consultation and LED therapy so you receive a thorough, unhurried treatment tailored to your acne severity and comfort.

When performed by trained estheticians, extractions minimize risk of scarring. We use professional techniques, sterile tools, and only extract when appropriate. Some temporary redness or pinpoint bleeding can occur, but proper aftercare reduces healing time and lowers complication risk.

Yes, many clients combine facials with other spa services, but timing matters. Avoid waxing, chemical peels, or intense sun exposure within 48-72 hours of the facial. Tell us your planned services so we can safely coordinate timing and maximize results.

Many clients notice reduced oiliness, fewer visible breakouts, and calmer skin within a few days. Continued improvement occurs with proper home care and occasional follow-up facials. For persistent acne, a series of treatments plus professional recommendations delivers best long-term results.

Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and strong acids 48-72 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin and bring a list of current products/medications. Notify us of recent procedures or acne medications to ensure a safe, effective facial plan.
