Acne Facial in Marietta, GA
Breakouts don't always need a harsher routine. Sometimes they need a smarter one.
The Acne Facial at New You Aesthetic is a customized professional facial for clients dealing with breakouts, congestion and clogged pores. It builds on the foundation of our Signature Facial and adds targeted steps based on what your skin actually needs.
Rather than treating every breakout-prone complexion exactly the same, our estheticians assess your skin and customize the products and treatment approach at your appointment.
New You Aesthetic offers customized facials in Marietta, Georgia, serving clients throughout West Cobb and surrounding communities.
What's Included in the Acne Facial?
The Acne Facial combines the customized approach of our Signature Facial with additional treatments selected for breakout-prone and congested skin.
- Double cleanse to thoroughly cleanse and prepare the skin
- Professional skin assessment with your New You esthetician
- Customized medical-grade skincare using SkinCeuticals and/or SkinMedica products
- Extractions when appropriate for the skin and type of congestion present
- LED light therapy as part of the customized treatment
- High frequency when appropriate
- Customized mask selected based on your skin's needs
- Finishing skincare selected for your skin
The exact treatment can vary because acne-prone skin isn't one single skin type. Your esthetician will adjust the appointment based on what she sees rather than following an identical protocol for every client.
Is the Acne Facial Right for Me?
The Acne Facial may be a good option if you're experiencing concerns such as:
- Clogged or congested pores
- Blackheads or whiteheads
- Occasional or recurring breakouts
- Oily or combination skin with congestion
- Skin that needs professional extractions
- Difficulty figuring out an appropriate home skincare routine
Having one of these concerns doesn't automatically mean the Acne Facial is the only treatment you need. Persistent, moderate or severe acne may require evaluation and treatment by a medical provider or dermatologist.
Not Sure Whether to Book the Acne Facial?
That's completely fine.
If you're experiencing some breakouts or congestion but aren't sure whether you need an Acne Facial, you can start with our Signature Facial.
Your esthetician can assess your skin, talk through what you've been experiencing and help determine the most appropriate treatment. You don't have to diagnose your own skin from a website before you're allowed through the door.
Extractions: More Isn't Always Better
Professional extractions can be helpful for certain types of clogged pores and congestion, but not every blemish should be extracted.
Your esthetician will determine what can be safely addressed during your facial and what should be left alone. Aggressively picking or squeezing inflamed blemishes at home can increase irritation and may contribute to discoloration or scarring.
LED Light Therapy & High Frequency
Our Acne Facial may incorporate LED light therapy and high frequency as part of the overall treatment.
These are supportive steps within a customized facial, not stand-alone promises to cure acne. Your esthetician will determine how they fit into your appointment based on your skin and the treatments you're receiving.
Your Facial Is Only Part of the Plan
What you do between appointments matters.
Our estheticians work with SkinCeuticals and SkinMedica medical-grade skincare and can help you build or simplify a home routine based on your skin, concerns and current products.
That doesn't mean everyone with a breakout needs an elaborate shelf of products. Sometimes simplifying an overly aggressive routine is just as important as deciding what to add.
Your Acne Facial is a great time to bring questions about cleansers, exfoliating products, serums, moisturizers and sunscreen so your esthetician can help you understand what makes sense for your skin.
What About Acne Marks & Scarring?
Active breakouts, post-acne discoloration and true acne scarring are different concerns and may require different treatments.
Once active acne is appropriately managed, your New You provider or esthetician may discuss other options for concerns such as lingering discoloration, texture or acne scars. Depending on your skin and goals, those recommendations may extend beyond a facial.
We'd rather address the right concern with the right treatment than promise that one facial fixes everything.
Can I Customize the Acne Facial?
Yes. Customization is central to the way we approach facials at New You.
Your esthetician may recommend adjustments or available add-ons based on your skin. Not every enhancement is appropriate during every acne-focused appointment, so we recommend discussing add-ons with your esthetician rather than automatically adding treatments before your skin has been assessed.
Acne Facial vs. Signature Facial
Choose the Signature Facial when you want a customized professional facial and aren't sure what your skin needs.
Choose the Acne Facial when breakouts, congestion and extractions are the primary reason you're coming in and you want an appointment specifically focused on those concerns.
And if you choose the “wrong” one? Don't panic. Your esthetician can evaluate your skin and help guide the treatment plan.
Acne Facial Frequently Asked Questions
Will an Acne Facial cure my acne?
No. Acne can have multiple causes and can range significantly in severity. A professional facial can support the care of breakout-prone and congested skin, but it should not be presented as a cure for acne.
Does the Acne Facial include extractions?
Yes, extractions are included when appropriate. Your esthetician will assess the type of congestion present and determine what can be safely addressed during the appointment.
Does the Acne Facial include LED light therapy?
Yes. LED light therapy is included as one component of the Acne Facial and is used as part of the customized treatment approach.
Does the Acne Facial include high frequency?
High frequency is included when appropriate for your skin and treatment plan.
What skincare products do you use?
Our estheticians use professional products from SkinCeuticals and/or SkinMedica, selecting products based on your individual skin and treatment.
Should I stop my acne products before my facial?
Some prescription and over-the-counter acne products can affect skin sensitivity. Tell your esthetician what you're currently using, including prescription medications and topical products, when you schedule or arrive for your appointment. We can advise you if your treatment needs to be modified or postponed.
What if my acne is severe?
Persistent, painful, cystic or severe acne may require medical evaluation and prescription treatment. A facial can be supportive skincare, but it isn't a replacement for appropriate medical acne care.
Can teenagers book an Acne Facial?
Acne concerns can certainly occur during the teen years. Treatment recommendations depend on the individual's skin, age, current medications and the severity of the acne. Our team can help determine the appropriate facial or whether medical evaluation should come first.
Should I book an Acne Facial or Signature Facial?
If acne and congestion are your primary concerns, book the Acne Facial. If you simply know your skin needs attention but aren't sure what treatment to choose, the Signature Facial is an excellent place to start.
