Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Teen Acne Facial.

Yes. Our Teen Acne Facial is tailored for sensitive teenage skin: we use gentle, non-comedogenic products, perform patch tests, and adjust techniques for reactivity. Always disclose medications, allergies, or recent dermatology treatments so we can customize the session safely.

For persistent acne we recommend sessions every two to four weeks initially to control oil and clear follicles. After improvement, treatments can shift to monthly maintenance. Your esthetician will set a schedule based on severity, skin response, and homecare.

Yes. Gentle manual extractions are performed when appropriate to clear clogged pores, always using sterile technique. We follow with calming masks and antibacterial serums to reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Extractions are avoided on very inflamed cystic lesions.

Minor peeling or flaking can occur if exfoliating acids or retinoids are used, but downtime is minimal. We tailor exfoliation strength to skin tolerance and provide aftercare instructions to manage peeling, reduce sensitivity, and support recovery.

Often yes, but tell us about topical or oral acne medications beforehand. Some treatments like isotretinoin or strong retinoids increase sensitivity and may require dermatologist clearance. We’ll adjust products and scheduling to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.

Before: arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and avoid strong exfoliants or sun exposure 48 hours prior. After: use gentle cleansers, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF; avoid picking, heavy makeup, or harsh treatments until skin calms. Follow your esthetician’s homecare plan.
