Acne

About Clinical Facials

Our signature treatment includes cleansing, extractions, a customized masque, toning and moisturizing. This is the ultimate treatment for healthier skin for both teens and adults with or without acne breakouts. The detoxifying facial allows the skin to breath by reducing oils and providing a thorough deep cleansing, resulting in fewer acne breakouts. For best results, Our Staff recommends alternating with more aggressive treatments such as light chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

How Does it Work?

First, the esthetician will provide you with a complimentary skin analysis. Your facial will then consist of cleansing, followed by an enzyme exfoliation mask designed especially for your skin type. Steam is used to make extractions more relaxing and lift impurities. Detailed extractions are then performed to the entire face and jaw line, followed by high frequency ultrasound to kill bacteria. A pore-minimizing clay mask formulated with the finest quality and natural earth clay is then applied to reduce excess oils. Antioxidant moisturizer with SPF 30 is last applied to the skin.
