Which Type of Facial Is Best for Acne?

You deserve to feel great about your skin. If acne is holding you back, our dermatology experts at Skin Center of South Miami, including Dr. Frank Don, Dr. Franz Kerdel, Dr. Varee Poochareon, and Dr. Todd Coven, offer professional facials that can help clear up your skin.

Each physician is trained in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, with a deep understanding of how acne affects adult skin. They can recommend treatments that yield long-term results. Our practice proudly serves patients from South Miami and Pinecrest, Florida.

What Should the Best Acne Facial Include?

Everyone's skin is unique. That means the best facial for acne is tailored to your skin type with select ingredients known to calm breakouts. It may include: 

• Salicylic Acid: Clears pores by dissolving excess oil and gently exfoliating dead skin cells.
• Glycolic Acid: Helps exfoliate the surface layers of skin, unclogging pores and brightening your complexion.
• Gentle Extractions: Safely removes blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities without damaging your skin or causing inflammation.
• Calming Masks: Often made with ingredients like aloe, chamomile, or clay, these masks soothe inflammation, minimize redness, and help skin recover after extractions.
• Hydrating Serums or Moisturizers: Essential for restoring moisture balance without causing additional breakouts or irritation.

Regular facial treatments should help manage acne more effectively and make your daily skincare routine more successful.

What About Gentle Chemical Peels?

In addition to clinical facials, gentle chemical peels can help manage acne. A gentle peel typically includes mild acids like glycolic, lactic, or mandelic acid, providing a slightly deeper exfoliation. This helps remove dead skin cells, reduces scarring, and promotes fresh, healthy skin growth. 

Chemical peels complement clinical facials beautifully, and your dermatologist can help determine whether this is a good option for your skin type.
