What is an Acne Facial?

Many people suffer from acne outbreaks. And while many seek a variety of treatments for these outbreaks, most people don't realize how genuinely effective an acne facial can be. What exactly is an acne facial? There is no one set of acne facial protocols. Different spas and dermatologists will approach acne facials differently. The key is to first consult with the aesthetician to discuss your skin type, acne outbreak severity, and any concerns you might have. From there, it is about determining which products and techniques might be most effective on your acne.

Acne facials, or blemish control facials, can include various options. For example, some aestheticians may employ different types of enzymes on the skin to help neutralize the cause of acne outbreaks. Blemish control kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces the skin's oiliness, as oiliness can also cause flare-ups. So, one spa may opt to use blueberry enzymes as blueberries are incredibly high in antioxidants and thus have unique anti-inflammatory properties. Blueberries overall are tremendous when it comes to helping skin heal quickly.

Other acne or blemish control facials might rely on microdermabrasion—but again, you first want to address all relevant skin issues with the aesthetician as this may not be a good course of action depending on the severity of your acne. Some spas tend toward masks, LED Light therapy treatment, or chemical peels to treat acne symptoms. And while with many types of spa facials, you can add on specific options, you want to make sure it is the right treatment type for your skin and your acne. Generally, the best blemish control facials are gentle on the skin and don't cause more significant irritation.

Are Acne Facials Safe?

Most blemish control or acne facials that you receive at a spa are very safe. You want to talk to the aesthetician beforehand to address any specific issues regarding your skin. If you have severe acne, you may even want to speak to a doctor before receiving a blemish control facial. The safety of an acne facial will depend on a few different factors. Such factors may include

  • How harsh the facial/facial products are. If the products and tools used could potentially irritate the skin, this may worsen the acne outbreak.
  • How severe is your acne?
  • Skin type is also a consideration regarding the safety of a blemish control facial.
  • If you are using other products or medications to treat acne, you want to talk to your doctor first.
  • Depending on what you are using, trying to perform an at-home facial for acne could come with some side effects.

An acne facial or blemish control facial is very safe for those who tend to have small white or black pimples that are not in the form of large painful sores. Otherwise, depending on the type of acne sores you have, you will want to consult with a physician first. Inflammatory acne can be a more severe form of acne; in this case, if you do receive a blemish control facial, you want to be sure the products used are gentle and specifically for sensitive skin types.

Also, suppose you are an acne sufferer. It is highly recommended that you have the acne facial performed by a licensed aesthetician when receiving any form of facial meant to help control acne. The results will be superior, and the safety factor is very high versus trying to perform such a facial at home on yourself. While a blemish control or acne facial cannot cure acne, it can help mitigate breakouts and soothe inflamed skin.

How do blemish control facial works?

So what exactly does a blemish control facial do for your skin? How do they work to help control the signs and symptoms of acne? As with any facial, a blemish control facial is composed of a set of steps that work to get to the source of what is causing your acne. Included in the steps of most acne facials are:

  • First, cleansing the skin; getting rid of the dirt, oils, and debris.
  • The aesthetician will also work to unclog those pores. An exfoliation usually accomplishes this.
  • Acne can be caused by excessive oil, so the key with a blemish control facial is to reduce the production of oils using unique products.
  • An acne facial also involves the reduction of irritation to the skin's surface.
  • Products used during your facial target acne-causing bacteria.
  • Acne can be a sign of skin dehydration, so any blemish control facial will increase overall skin hydration.

Again, some professional acne facials can also involve chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and light therapy. This is why it is critical to talk to the aesthetician about any questions or concerns you may have going into your acne facial. Sometimes, there will also be extractions where blackheads and whiteheads are removed using a unique tool during this facial. There may be some redness afterward, but he generally goes away in a couple of hours.

What to Expect During Your Professional Blemish Control Facial?

Your acne facial will generally last about an hour—depending on the spa services offered. Again, it may involve a multi-step process that includes cleansing, exfoliating, LED Light Therapy (if chosen), scrubs, skin massage, facial masks, and serums and moisturizers to lock in hydration.

A professional aesthetician experienced in acne facials will precisely understand what steps and products to avoid that might worsen the existing inflammation. Such things that could irritate depending on the acne outbreak could be microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and sure scrubs. You might also ask the aesthetician about their success in treating other acne sufferers.

If you are thinking about getting a blemish control facial, you want to do some homework first. See what different spas in your area offer, perhaps even talk to a med spa and get their thoughts regarding helpful products and treatments.
