Acne Treatment Half arms
Overview
How your skin reacts afterwards
These are normal and settle on their own. Anything severe or long-lasting — call us.
Immediate Skin Response (0–48 hours)
The treated area may appear slightly pink with mild warmth or tightness, similar to a gentle facial. Temporary purging: Some clients experience minor breakouts as impurities surface—this is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Sensitivity: The skin feels tender to touch but not painful. Mild tightness or tingling may occur as the skin begins to heal
Short-Term Healing Phase (Days 3–7)
Active acne begins to calm, with visible reduction in redness and swelling. Dryness or flaking: The treated area may feel drier than usual as the bio-active concentrate continues working. A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer helps restore comfort. Continued purging: Minor breakouts may persist for 3–5 days as deeper impurities clear out—resist picking or squeezing
Regeneration and Results (Weeks 2–8)
Active breakouts diminish significantly, and skin texture becomes smoother and more refined. Reduced scarring: With consistent sessions, post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation begin to fade. Balanced skin: Oil production normalizes, pores appear smaller, and the overall tone becomes more even. Optimal results: Most clients observe significant improvement and subsiding acne within 6–8 sessions, with continued progress in skin clarity and health
How Acne Treatment Half arms Works
The treatment begins with thorough cleansing to remove makeup, oil, and impurities that may interfere with treatment.
Controlled steam is applied to open pores and soften blockages, preparing the skin for safe extraction.
Gentle, controlled manual extraction removes comedones, blackheads, and impurities from congested pores.
A high-frequency wand delivers therapeutic electrical currents to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
A specialized concentrate is applied and left on for several minutes to penetrate deeply, treat active breakouts, and prevent future flare-ups.
The practitioner applies a soothing gel and protective barrier cream to calm and protect the skin.
Pre Care
- Avoid: Avoid exfoliants and harsh products (retinoids, acids) for at least 3-5 days before to reduce skin sensitivity
- Do: Do not wax or use hair removal methods other than shaving for 1–2 weeks prior; shave 1-2 days before treatment
- Avoid: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent pigmentation issues
- Stop: Stop deodorants with fragrances or alcohol 48 hours before to avoid irritation
- Inform: Inform your practitioner about medications, allergies, and skin conditions to tailor the treatment safely
After Care
- Keep: Keep the treated area clean and dry; avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, or skincare products for 7-10 days
- Avoid: Avoid touching, scratching, picking, or peeling the healing skin to prevent irritation, pigment loss, or infection
- Stay: Stay away from sun exposure, excessive sweating, swimming, hot baths, and saunas for at least 10 days during healing
- Use: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to soothe and hydrate the skin as it heals
- Apply: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily once the skin is healed enough to be slightly exposed, to protect from UV-induced pigmentation
