About this treatment
Our Acne Treatment is a results-focused facial for clients experiencing blackheads, whiteheads, congestion, inflammation, or recurring breakouts. At Liv Med Spa | Denver, CO, each session begins with a skin assessment to determine your acne grade, sensitivity level, and the best combination of professional techniques for your skin.
The treatment typically includes deep cleansing, gentle steam or softening preparation, and precise extractions to clear congested pores without unnecessary trauma. Depending on your skin’s needs, your provider may incorporate salicylic or glycolic acid exfoliation to help dissolve buildup, smooth uneven texture, and support a clearer complexion.
Advanced modalities such as high-frequency current and blue LED light may be used to target acne-prone skin, calm visible redness, and help reduce the presence of acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface. A soothing mask and corrective finishing products are then applied to hydrate, balance, and protect the skin barrier.
For best results, acne care is most effective as a series paired with consistent, professionally guided homecare. Many clients begin to notice improvement in clarity, texture, and overall skin balance within a few weeks, with ongoing treatments helping to minimize future flare-ups and maintain healthier-looking skin.
