What is Acne Facial?

At Dermax Spa, we offer specialized acne facial treatments that target and address the unique needs of individuals dealing with acne-prone skin. An acne facial, also known as a decongesting facial or deep cleaning facial, is a comprehensive treatment designed to deeply purify the skin and combat stubborn acne blemishes. 

 

How does it work?

The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, removing makeup, dirt, and excess oil. A steaming session follows, which helps to soften the pores and prepare the skin for extractions. Our estheticians then perform gentle yet effective extractions to remove blackheads and whiteheads, promoting clearer skin.

To address the underlying causes of acne, we utilize specialized acne-fighting products during the facial. These products often contain ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil, and sulfur, which work together to target acne bacteria, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. 

 

How it helps you?

• Treats active blemishes: Our acne facials are highly effective in treating comedonal acne, including blackheads and whiteheads. Our estheticians remove excess sebum and debris from the pores through precise extractions, helping to clear active blemishes.

• Prevents future breakouts: By incorporating exfoliating cleansers or peels with ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid, our acne facials promote faster cell turnover, unclog pores, and prevent future breakouts from forming. LED light therapy used during the treatment helps control sebum regulation and soothe the skin, further reducing the likelihood of future breakouts.

• Hydrates the skin: To maintain a healthy balance, our acne facials include hydration elements to prevent the skin from overproducing oil. We apply nourishing masks and moisturizers to soothe inflammation, keeping the skin hydrated and protected throughout the treatment.
