Which treatment is best for acne?

It depends on how your skin is doing. PRO Clear and Hydrafacial are often a good starting point for clogged pores and blemishes, while Cavitation Peeling and Pro Power Peel offer a more intensive cleanse and exfoliation for skin used to treatments. A skin therapist decides what suits you best after a skin analysis.

Can I book an acne treatment if I currently have active acne?

Yes, several of the treatments in this guide are designed specifically for congested and acne-prone skin. For strongly inflamed or infected acne, the skin therapist may need to adapt or postpone certain steps — always mention your skin's current condition when booking.

How often should I get professional acne treatment?

Many choose a course of treatments a few weeks apart for the best results, but this varies between treatments and your skin. Your skin therapist will give a recommendation based on the skin analysis.

Acne Treatment & Congested Skin

Congested skin, clogged pores and inflamed blemishes are among the most common reasons to book a facial treatment. Acne can look different from person to person — from the occasional breakout to more widespread, inflamed skin — and the right treatment depends on how your skin feels right now. This guide gathers our facial treatments that are particularly suited for acne and congested skin, grouped by how gentle or intense the experience is. If your skin is sensitive or has never had a professional treatment before, it can help to start gently and let the skin adjust, while skin that is used to treatments can often handle a more powerful treatment right away. Keep in mind that active acne, such as inflamed spots or cysts, makes some treatments unsuitable — microneedling, for example, is deliberately avoided during active acne even though it can otherwise soften scars left after acne has healed. That's why this guide only shows treatments our skin therapists have assessed as suitable for acne and congested skin specifically. This guide offers general guidance, not a personal recommendation. Feel free to book a free consultation so the skin therapist can do an individual skin analysis before treatment.
