Acne Facial

The acne facial at S.D. Wellness Clinic is a deep-cleansing facial with careful extractions, for congested or breakout-prone skin. It is offered at 117 Cross Ave B6 in Oakville from $99, in English, Mandarin or Cantonese. Booking is by phone or text at 905-338-7551.

What it is

A facial built around clearing congestion: thorough cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions where they are appropriate, and a calming, non-heavy finish. It suits skin that feels congested, looks bumpy across the forehead or chin, or breaks out in a predictable place.

It is a spa facial, not acne treatment. That distinction matters and we would rather draw it before you book than after.

What to expect

We look at what is actually there — congestion, active inflammation, or marks left behind by past breakouts — and adapt. Not everything can be extracted, and pushing at something that will not move causes more marks than it clears.

Expect some redness for a short time afterwards. Leave the area alone that evening.

When a facial is not the answer

Painful lumps under the skin, acne that scars, or breakouts that have not responded to over-the-counter products are medical, not cosmetic. A facial will not treat them and repeated facials can waste months that a proper assessment would not.

For that, our sister clinic S.D. Medical Spa assesses acne and scarring in person; where a prescription is involved, a nurse practitioner does the assessing and authorizing.
