How is an acne facial different from any other facial?

There are many different types of facials to choose from, and many are designed as specialty facials that address specific skin needs. If you have acne, it is important to choose a facial aligned with your unique treatment needs and goals. 

Some of the tools and techniques used in many traditional facials can exacerbate acne. For example, an acne facial should not include harsh chemicals, scrubs, or abrasive manual exfoliation techniques. These can not only damage areas that are healing from acne blemishes but can also prompt new breakouts. 

At Dermatology of Miami, acne facials aim to soothe your skin, achieve a deep cleansing without triggering outbreaks, and pave the way for your skin to heal. The products used during an acne facial are formulated to support and nourish your skin without triggering blemishes. 

How often should I come in for an acne facial?

It depends on your unique skin care needs and goals, but many people find it beneficial to come in for an acne facial every few months. This allows a skin health professional to assess your complexion and deliver a treatment that cleanses, nourishes, and properly moisturizes your skin. 

If you’re working with the dermatology team at Dermatology of Miami for acne treatment, your provider will advise you on the scheduling that makes sense for you. It’s even possible to book an acne facial on the same day you come in for skin health services. 

How can I extend the results of my acne facials at home?

Once you see the results of your professional acne facial, you’ll want to do all you can to extend those benefits at home. Your practitioner can work with you to create a great at-home skin care routine that doesn’t cause acne flare-ups. 

You’ll learn which products and techniques deliver the best results and how to shape your personalized skin routine to align with your needs. Many people are surprised at how many skin care steps are actually detrimental to acne-prone skin. Just let your practitioner know you’d like some guidance during your next visit. 

Booking an acne facial takes just a few moments. You can always call during regular business hours or use the simple online booking page at any time.
