Acne Facial · Austin, Texas

A real starting point for acne-prone skin

Most facials maintain. This one corrects. In 50 minutes we deep-cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and calm, with every step matched to your skin type, how severe your acne is, and how inflamed your skin is that day. The goal: fewer breakouts, and fewer of the marks they leave behind.

The treatment

What the Acne Facial actually does

It treats the breakouts you have and works against the congestion behind the next ones.

The Acne Facial is a results-driven treatment for acne-prone skin. A visit combines deep cleansing, enzyme or chemical exfoliation, extractions, calming masks, and hydration, and it finishes with ingredients that fight bacteria and help correct the skin. Every one of those steps gets adjusted to your skin type, your acne's severity, your sensitivity, and whatever inflammation is active when you're on the table.

For most corrective goals, facials are the comfortable way in, or the maintenance between bigger treatments. The Acne Facial is the exception. For acne-prone skin, it's a genuine corrective starting point, built to improve existing breakouts, head off future congestion, and keep irritation, dryness, and post-inflammatory discoloration (the marks a breakout leaves after it heals) to a minimum.

Where it sits in your care is decided with you, not for you. A complimentary consultation and skin analysis come before any treatment, so what happens in the room fits your skin, not a script. Control first, then correction.

Active breakouts

Current breakouts are treated directly, with calming steps to bring down the inflammation that comes with them.

Clogged pores

Deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions clear the congestion that keeps turning into new blemishes.

Excess oil

Oily, congestion-prone skin is exactly what this facial is built for.

Post-acne marks

The discoloration breakouts leave behind is part of what we treat, not an afterthought.

Not sure this is your treatment?

That's the consultation's whole job. If something else suits your skin better, we'll say so and point you there.

What to expect

Your 50 minutes, start to finish

Here's how the visit goes, step by step.

Every facial here runs 50 minutes. Yours starts with a deep cleanse, then enzyme or chemical exfoliation chosen for your skin, extractions where your pores need them, a calming mask, and hydration, with bacteria-fighting, corrective ingredients working quietly throughout. Nothing about the sequence is fixed; we adjust it to your skin type, your acne's severity, your sensitivity, and how inflamed your skin is that day.

Extractions are the one step that isn't exactly relaxing: briefly uncomfortable, and the areas we work on can stay red for a few hours before settling. That's the full extent of the downtime, and we'll walk you through what to expect before we start and how to care for your skin after.

What we're working toward is specific: existing breakouts improved, future congestion prevented, and irritation, dryness, and post-inflammatory discoloration kept to a minimum. Treating your acne without creating new problems is part of the job, not a bonus.

  • Wear sunscreen every day, no exceptions.

  • Stay out of direct sun while your skin settles.

  • Skip harsh actives for a few days after your visit.

  • Keep it gentle: mild cleansing and steady hydration.

Beyond thrilled with my results with Terra! I started seeing her for my acne and cannot believe how my skin has cleared with her advice, products, and extractions.

I have been going to see Terra for facials, chemical peels and eyebrow tinting for a little over a year now. She has been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about every aspect of skin care.

She has transformed my skin. I go to her for peels, derma-planing and latest- micro needling. All of it is sooo wonderful. But I am now obsessed with micro-needling.
