Our Teen Acne Facial is a specialized skincare treatment designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by teenagers with acne-prone skin. Hormonal fluctuations and increased sebum production during adolescence can lead to various types of acne, including whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, and cysts. Our Teen Acne Facial is tailored to manage and alleviate these issues effectively, helping teens achieve clearer, healthier skin.
The Process
1. Consultation
The facial begins with a thorough consultation with a trained esthetician. This discussion allows the teenager to express their specific skin concerns, such as the severity of their acne, any sensitivities, or particular skincare goals.
2. Cleansing
The treatment starts with a gentle cleansing to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil, ensuring the skin is prepared for the subsequent procedures.
3. Steam and Exfoliation
Steam is used to open up pores and prepare the skin for exfoliation. The esthetician may then perform a mild exfoliation using a chemical exfoliant or physical scrub to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and expel acne-causing impurities.
4. Extractions
A crucial step in the Teen Acne Facial, extractions involve the manual removal of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pustules. The esthetician uses specialized tools to extract these blemishes gently, minimizing the risk of scarring or skin damage.
5. Anti-Acne Treatments
The facial may include the application of products specifically formulated to address acne, such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and kill acne-causing bacteria.
6. Soothing Masks or Treatments
A soothing mask or treatment is applied to calm the skin, reduce redness, and provide hydration. These products are chosen based on the teenager’s skin type and specific needs.
7. High-Frequency Treatment and LED Light Therapy
Some Teen Acne Facials include high-frequency technology or LED light therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, promoting faster healing of acne lesions.
8. Sunscreen
To protect the skin from potential sun damage, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is applied at the end of the treatment, as certain acne treatments can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation.
