Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Deep Pore Acne Facial.

Yes. We customize pressure, products, and exfoliation intensity for sensitive acne-prone skin. Your provider will perform a thorough consultation and patch test, adjusting techniques to minimize irritation while still providing effective cleansing, extractions, and blue light therapy to reduce bacteria and inflammation.

Frequency depends on acne severity and skin response. Many clients benefit from an initial series of 4–6 treatments spaced two to four weeks apart, then maintenance every 4–8 weeks. Your clinician will recommend a personalized plan based on progress and skincare routine.

Most clients experience mild discomfort during extractions, but technicians use calming techniques and topical soothing agents to reduce pain. If you have very inflamed cystic acne, extractions may be limited to prevent trauma; we'll discuss options to keep you comfortable while improving congestion.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary redness, mild sensitivity, or slight peeling for 24–72 hours. Avoid heavy makeup, direct sun, and harsh products immediately after treatment. We'll provide aftercare instructions and recommend products to calm skin and support healing.

Some topical or oral acne medications increase skin sensitivity. Inform us about retinoids, isotretinoin, antibiotics, or topical acids. We may modify or postpone treatment—especially if on isotretinoin—to ensure safety and optimal healing. Your provider will advise the appropriate timing and alternatives.

Keep skin clean and hydrated, avoid sun exposure and exfoliants for at least 48–72 hours. Use gentle cleanser, SPF, and any prescribed topical treatments. Apply calming serums and the recommended moisturizer. Contact us if you experience prolonged redness, swelling, or irritation.
