Acne facials in Coral Gables and West Palm Beach
For acne and breakouts, our estheticians most often use the Flawless Facial at $185, HydraFacial at $250 and the Biologique Recherche facial from $290. Jet Peel is a popular add-on to these facials for a deeper cleanse on congested skin. Most guests have them in a series alongside a simple home routine. Microchanneling is added for marks and texture once breakouts are calm. We treat acne at both our Coral Gables and West Palm Beach spas. For severe, painful or cystic acne, or acne that scars, see a dermatologist first.
Understanding acne
What causes breakouts
Breakouts start in the pore. Extra oil and dead skin cells block it, bacteria that live on everyone's skin multiply inside, and inflammation follows. Hormones, stress and products that clog pores can all tip the balance.
CongestionBlackheads, whiteheads and rough texture.
Active breakoutsRed, inflamed spots that come and go.
Post-acne marksDark or red marks left once spots heal.
When to see a doctorDeep, painful or cystic acne, or acne that scars, needs a dermatologist.

Acne facial questions
Can I get a facial during a breakout?
Yes. Your esthetician adjusts the treatment to what your skin is doing that day. Inflamed or cystic spots are left alone so they can heal without marking.
How many facials will I need?
Your esthetician will suggest a plan at your first visit.
Are extractions part of an acne facial?
When they will help, yes, and they're done gently. Not every visit needs them.
Should I see a dermatologist instead?
See a dermatologist for severe, painful or cystic acne, or acne that is leaving scars. Prescription treatment and facials can work together; tell us what you are using so we can plan around it.
Which spa should I book?
Both spas treat acne. In Coral Gables, Joanna Egas and Denise Castrogiovanni are among the specialists; West Palm Beach estheticians also treat acne.
