Acne Facial in NYC — treatment for active breakouts

$15060 min · Midtown Manhattan

Our Clear Acne Facial is a 60-minute, $150 treatment built for skin that's actively breaking out: targeted extractions, high-frequency to address bacteria, and a calming finish that brings inflammation down instead of leaving you red for two days.

What the treatment includes

  1. Analysis — we identify what type of breakout we're dealing with. Congestion, hormonal acne and inflamed cysts are not treated the same way.
  2. Deep cleanse and enzymatic exfoliation to loosen the surface.
  3. Steam to soften pores before any pressure is applied.
  4. Targeted extractions — only what is ready. Forcing a lesion that isn't ready is how scars form.
  5. High-frequency — helps address acne-causing bacteria and speeds healing.
  6. Calming mask and barrier-supporting finish.

An honest note about results

Acne is not resolved in one visit. Anyone promising that is selling something. What one session reliably does is clear existing congestion, reduce inflammation, and stop the cycle from compounding.

Real change comes from a series: typically every two to three weeks for the first two months, then monthly maintenance. The home routine matters just as much as what happens in the room — and we'll give you one you can actually keep.

When to see a dermatologist instead: deep, painful cystic acne along the jaw, or acne that hasn't responded to anything, may need prescription treatment. We'll tell you honestly if that's the case rather than sell you a package.

What to do before your appointment

  • Don't pick. The single most damaging thing for acne-prone skin.
  • Pause retinoids and strong acids three to five days before.
  • Tell us about any prescription medication — some make extractions unsafe.
  • Come with clean skin if you can; makeup isn't a problem, we'll remove it.

Frequently asked questions

How much is an acne facial in NYC?

$150 for a 60-minute Clear Acne Facial at our Midtown Manhattan studio, including targeted extractions, high-frequency and a calming finish.

How many sessions do I need to clear acne?

Expect a series rather than a single visit — typically every two to three weeks for the first two months, then monthly maintenance. One session clears existing congestion and reduces inflammation; lasting change comes from consistency plus a home routine.

Will the facial make me break out more?

Some purging can happen in the first week as congestion that was already forming comes to the surface. It settles quickly. That is why we recommend booking two to three weeks before any important event.

Can I get an acne facial while using Accutane or retinoids?

Not on Accutane — extractions and exfoliation are unsafe on isotretinoin. If you use topical retinoids, pause them three to five days before your appointment and tell your esthetician.

Do you treat back and body acne?

Yes. The Back Cleaning Facial ($160, 60 min) applies the same protocol — deep cleanse, extractions and exfoliation — to the back and shoulders.
