Acne Treatment & Deep Pore Cleansing in Cumming, GA

Acne Facial at Divine Spa in Cumming, GA

Struggling with breakouts, blackheads, or chronically congested skin? This results-driven facial is designed specifically for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin types. It goes deeper than traditional facials to calm active breakouts, clear pores, and create the conditions your skin needs to stay clearer, longer.

Who this is for

This facial is ideal for teens and adults dealing with active acne, hormonal breakouts, blackheads and whiteheads, oily or congested skin, mask-related breakouts (maskne), or back-and-chest acne (available as a back facial). It is safe for active acne and effective enough to see a measurable difference after your first session.

The Treatment Process

Treatment begins with a professional clarifying cleanse to remove surface oil, bacteria, and debris. A targeted exfoliation using salicylic or mandelic acid loosens congestion within the pores. Steam is applied to soften the skin and prepare for extractions, which are performed methodically to clear blackheads, whiteheads, and milia. A calming, anti-inflammatory treatment mask is then applied to reduce redness and close pores. The session concludes with oil-free, non-comedogenic finishing products appropriate for acne-prone skin.

PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Do not use retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or strong exfoliants for 3–5 days before your appointment
  • Do not pick, squeeze, or manually extract any blemishes in the days leading up to your facial
  • Arrive with a clean face

  • Inform your esthetician of all topical and oral medications

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Avoid touching your face and do not pick at any areas that were extracted
  • Skip makeup for 12–24 hours post-treatment
  • Use only gentle, non-comedogenic products for 48 hours after your facial
  • Apply SPF 30+ daily — acne-prone skin is especially vulnerable to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from sun exposure
  • Avoid saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise for 24 hours
  • Some redness and minor breakout activity in the days following is normal as the skin purges

Frequently Asked Questions

1Will my skin purge after this facial?
A mild purge — where congestion already beneath the surface comes to the surface faster — can occur in some clients after their first 1–2 sessions. This is normal and temporary. Most clients see significant improvement within 2–3 weeks.
2How many sessions will I need to see results?
Many clients notice cleaner, calmer skin after just one session. For persistent acne, a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, combined with the right home-care routine, produces the most lasting improvement.
3Is this safe if I am using prescription acne medication?
Please inform your esthetician of all medications, including topical prescriptions (like tretinoin or Differin) and oral medications (like Accutane). Some medications require adjustments to the treatment protocol.
