What It Is If you’re wondering, “What type of facial should I get for acne?” an anti-acne facial is the answer. An anti-acne facial aims to ease and treat the symptoms that are associated with acne, which include scars, blackheads and whiteheads, and redness or inflammation. It’s a lot like a deep pore cleansing facial except, in many cases, it uses specialized technologies to target acne-causing bacteria. What It Involves Your esthetician will first discuss your specific acne case with you: how it started, how frequent and severe the flare-ups are, and how often you can come in for a treatment. Then it will follow the same steps and treatments of a classic facial, except it will involve products with ingredients that are known to target acne, such as salicylic acid. Specialized treatments like anti-acne masks with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients and chemical peels used to treat acne may also be performed. And LED light therapy with either blue LED to help control excess oil while also soothing the skin or green LED to reduce redness and hyperpigmentation may be included.
