Customized Acne & Oil Control Facial in Encino
What it is
Our Customized Acne & Oil Control Facial is a deeply purifying, clinical-grade skin revision treatment designed specifically to combat active breakouts, chronic congestion, and excessive sebum production. Utilizing high-potency clarifying agents, professional steam, and extensive, meticulous manual extractions, this targeted protocol aggressively cleans out impacted pores. We incorporate specialized anti-inflammatory masks and bacteria-destroying high-frequency technology to drastically reduce current blemishes, calm angry cystic lesions, and rebalance the skin’s natural lipid barrier to prevent future flare-ups.
Who's it for
This intensive facial is strictly tailored for individuals struggling with persistent, stubborn acne, hormonal breakouts, severe blackheads, and highly oily or congested skin. It is ideal for patients who feel standard retail cleansers are not penetrating deeply enough to clear their blocked pores and need a professional, clinical intervention to reset their skin health. Whether you suffer from occasional aggressive flare-ups or chronic, painful cystic acne, this protocol provides immediate relief and long-term clarity.
Zero to minimal downtime.
What to Expect
Expect a highly focused, clinical experience where your provider zeroes in on extracting deeply rooted impurities. Following a thorough double cleanse and active enzyme exfoliation under warm steam, we perform comprehensive, careful extractions to clear out blackheads and whiteheads. While the extraction process can be mildly uncomfortable in highly congested areas, it is followed by soothing, cooling masks and anti-bacterial light therapies that immediately reduce redness. You will leave with pores that are visibly smaller, deeply sanitized skin, and a significantly flatter, calmer complexion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my face look red or broken out immediately after the extractions?
It is completely normal for your skin to look slightly pink or flush red for a few hours following clinical extractions, as we are clearing out deep-seated blockages. However, because we finish the facial with professional-grade calming masks and anti-inflammatory serums, any initial redness will rapidly subside, leaving your skin looking significantly calmer, flatter, and cleaner by the next morning.
How many sessions will I need to completely clear my acne?
While you will notice an immediate reduction in skin oiliness and a much smoother texture after your very first treatment, clearing chronic acne requires consistent cellular maintenance. For active breakouts or heavy skin congestion, we highly recommend a package of 3 to 6 sessions scheduled exactly 4 weeks apart to match your skin’s natural 28-day cell renewal cycle and keep pores continuously clear.
Does this facial dry out or strip the skin to control the oil?
No, absolutely not. Drugstore acne products often strip the skin of all moisture, which actually forces your oil glands to go into overdrive and produce more oil. Our medical-grade treatments focus on a process called "hydration-balancing." We remove excess sticky sebum but deeply flood the skin with oil-free hyaluronic hydration, tricking your glands into slowing down their natural oil production without compromising your skin barrier.
