Teen Acne & Glow Facial in Encino, CA
What it is
The Teen Acne & Glow Facial is a specialized, gentle yet highly effective clinical treatment designed specifically for the unique, rapidly changing needs of adolescent skin. Hormonal shifts can trigger sudden, severe oil production and bacterial acne in teenagers; this targeted facial intervenes by deeply cleansing pores, performing safe, manual extractions, and applying balancing, non-aggressive topical treatments. More than just a facial, it is an educational experience where our experts gently purify the skin while teaching teens essential, lifelong habits for managing breakouts and protecting their natural skin barrier.
Who's it for
This customized service is ideal for teenagers who are dealing with the frustrating onset of puberty-induced acne, blackheads, excessive oiliness, or sports-related skin congestion. It is perfect for adolescents who are self-conscious about their skin and need professional help clearing up flare-ups safely without resorting to harsh, overly drying retail chemicals. It serves as a fantastic foundational step to give teens the confidence of clear skin and the knowledge to maintain it at home.
Zero to minimal downtime.
What to Expect
The 45-minute session is designed to be comfortable, educational, and deeply clarifying. The provider will start with a gentle cleanse and light enzymatic exfoliation to loosen dead skin, followed by safe, targeted extractions to clear prominent blackheads and active pimples with minimal discomfort. A soothing, antibacterial mask is applied to rapidly calm redness and reduce inflammation. Your teen will leave the clinic with visibly clearer, deeply sanitized skin, less active redness, and a customized, easy-to-follow home care plan to keep future breakouts at bay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will professional extractions leave scars on my teen's face?
No, absolutely not. Scarring happens at home when teens squeeze or pop pimples incorrectly, tearing the delicate skin tissue. Our licensed practitioners use sterile tools and gentle, vertical pressure to safely clear the pore without damaging the surrounding skin.
How often should my teenager get a Teen Facial?
For active hormonal acne or heavy pore congestion, we highly recommend a treatment every 4 weeks to match the natural 28-day skin cell renewal cycle. For general maintenance and preventative care, a facial every 6 to 8 weeks keeps the skin beautifully balanced.
Can my teen get this facial if they are using prescription acne topical creams?
Yes, but please let our practitioner know during the consultation. If your teen is using strong prescription topicals (like Retin-A, Tretinoin, or Epiduo), we adjust the facial to focus purely on deep hydration and calming irritation, skipping any harsh chemical exfoliants.
