Healthy skin starts with the right treatment. Our Advanced Acne Facial — rated among San Diego's best acne treatments — is designed to reduce breakouts, calm inflammation, clear congestion, and improve acne-prone skin through professional clinical care, right here in Hillcrest.
What Makes This Facial Different?
Unlike a traditional spa facial, this treatment combines clinical-strength exfoliation with professional acne therapies to help clear congestion while calming inflammation and supporting healthier skin.
Clinical Exfoliation
Removes dead skin cells, excess oil, and pore buildup that contribute to acne while preparing your skin to better absorb treatment ingredients.
Professional Extractions
Safely removes blackheads and congested pores using professional techniques that minimize unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Medical-Grade Blue Light Therapy
Medical-grade blue LED therapy helps target acne-causing bacteria, while red light therapy and near-infrared light help calm inflammation and support healthier skin recovery.
Barrier Repair
Hydrates and helps restore the skin's protective barrier after treatment, reducing redness, calming irritation, and supporting healthier skin recovery.
Organic Ingredients
Combines clinical-strength skincare with calming botanical ingredients to nourish the skin, reduce irritation, and support a healthier, more balanced complexion.

“It’s only been one day since my facial and I’ve already noticed a positive improvement in my skin — I feel it’s even glowing for the first time! Kevin spent extra time explaining a proper skin routine and made great recommendations for my skin type (hormonal, cystic, and stubborn).”
