Best Facial Treatments for Acne
If you struggle with acne, finding the right solution can feel impossible. Fortunately, we offer a range of facial treatments to eliminate breakouts and help you reclaim your skin. Ready to learn more? Join us for a guide to the most effective facial treatments to help you determine which option may be best for your skin!
What are the best facials for acne?
Here are three of the most powerful facial treatments in the fight against acne:
Decongesting and acne-targeting facials
While not all facial treatments are suitable for acne-prone skin, the right remedy can have a profound effect on your acne. Decongesting acne facials can improve blood flow and increase cell turnover rates to reveal a glowing complexion.
At MOOD Skin & Body, our acne facial includes a carefully formulated blend of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids to shed dead skin cells that may clog your pores, an oxygen mask which triggers a desiccation process to purify pores, as well as multiple calming masks to soothe redness and inflammation.
BioRePeel facial treatment
BioRePeel is a revolutionary facial peel treatment that can eliminate acne and minimize hyperpigmentation and scarring. This advanced chemical peel is gentle enough for sensitive skin and powerful enough to defend against breakouts.
The biphasic enzyme formula includes amino acids, antioxidants, and GABA to promote exfoliation and adequate hydration. As you remove layers of dead skin cells, you should see a major transformation in the texture and overall health of your skin.
Aerolase acne therapy
Aerolase laser treatments offer a safe and effective solution for stubborn acne, scars, and skin discoloration. By minimizing oil production, killing harmful bacteria, and soothing inflammation, this facial treatment may help you conquer your acne. It’s great for addressing all types of acne and can eliminate both whiteheads and blackheads.
This laser device selectively heats overactive sebaceous glands to reduce the risk of future breakouts. Excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria are among the leading causes of clogged pores and acne, and laser treatment for acne is one of the most effective approaches.
Benefits of facial treatments for acne
These facial treatments also come with perks that go beyond targeting acne. Here are more benefits of specialized acne facial treatments:
Clarify skin
Thorough cleansing is necessary to eliminate acne, and all three of these facial treatments remove dirt, oil, and makeup from deep within your pores.
Eliminate bacteria
Harmful bacteria can make themselves at home in your hair follicles and pores, leading to painful, persistent acne. Addressing these microorganisms will help you get to the root of the problem. Your facial expert can achieve this by various methods, including LED light therapy and topical skincare products.
Calm inflammation
The right facial treatment for acne should leave your skin feeling calm and rejuvenated, not irritated and inflamed. Dedicated acne facials, BioRePeel treatments, and Aerolase sessions can safely be used on sensitive skin without intense side effects.
Brighten skin tone
Each of these treatment options encourages exfoliation and increased cell turnover to shed dead skin and reveal a brighter, vibrant complexion.
Heal and renew skin
Certain acne medications can damage your skin barrier and lead to more issues. On the other hand, the acne facial treatments at MOOD help restore the health of your skin as part of our holistic approach to breakouts. We can guide you into an effective skin routine that balances healing the skin barrier and ridding of acne bacteria and dead skin. We also can provide you with other helpful information such as how diet, certain lifestyles, can affect your skin for an overall solution.
Aftercare tips for acne facials
In order to get the best results from your facial treatment, you’ll need to follow proper aftercare protocols. Here are our top tips to help you care for your skin after your appointment:
Don’t pick your skin!
No matter which service you choose to address your acne, these treatments typically decongest the skin and get rid of dead skin cells. You may experience what we call “purging” or flaky skin as a result. While you may feel the urge to pick at dead skin cells or breakouts, it’s critical to keep your hands off. Picking and plucking can introduce harmful bacteria to your healing skin and lengthen your recovery time. Typically, this side effect only lasts a short amount of time.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours
Makeup and makeup applicators can harbor dangerous bacteria that you just eliminated with your acne facial. Even brand-new products can clog your pores and increase the risk of adverse effects. Skip the makeup until your skin has healed completely.
Stay away from hot water and steam
Even the most gentle facial treatments for acne can leave your skin feeling slightly more sensitive in the following days, and excessive heat can intensify these effects. In order to soothe inflammation and promote healing, stick to lukewarm water in your showers throughout the recovery process.
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer
In the days after your acne-fighting facial treatment, you’ll need to avoid harsh skincare products. Instead, opt for a gentle cleanse and fragrance-free moisturizer until your skin heals.
Apply sunscreen
Your skin may be more susceptible to UV damage after your facial treatment, so sun protection is essential. Add a broad-spectrum sunscreen to your morning routine to ensure your skin is healthy and happy.
