Acne facials can be helpful in creating and maintaining clear skin
Wondering what happens during an acne treatment facial? If you’ve never had an acne treatment facial done, they may seem kind of mysterious (or even a bit intimidating).
Although they’re not a necessary part of your acne treatment routines, having regular facials done can help clear out blackheads and blocked pores and can complement your regular acne medications.
Each esthetician has her own style, but acne treatment facials generally follow the same basic procedure. Here’s what you can expect during your first acne treatment facial.
Facials are a nice way to treat yourself and in some cases, acne facials can be helpful in creating and maintaining clear skin.
But facials are not a necessity in your acne treatment routine. And acne facials alone won’t completely clear your skin, so you’ll still need to use daily acne treatment medications.
Acne treatment facials are most helpful for mild acne, minor blemishes, and mild comedonal breakouts. For moderate acne to severe acne, acne facials will not be incredibly helpful. These more serious forms of acne should be treated by a dermatologist with prescription medications. You’ll get much better results.
Either way, if you’re under the care of a dermatologist, always get their OK before you make an appointment for your acne treatment facial.
