Teen Facial in Gwinnett County, GA

A facial designed specifically for teenage skin. Not a shorter version of an adult facial. Our teen facial uses salicylic acid cleansing, gentle extraction focused on comedones, antibacterial treatment, and oil-control finishing products to address acne, congestion, and excess sebum. For ages 13-19. Monthly 3-session packages available.

Teenage Skin Is Different. The Facial Should Be Too.

Teen acne is driven primarily by hormonal changes that increase sebum production and cause follicular occlusion. The products and technique used in an adult anti-aging facial are not appropriate for this type of skin. At Tactus Health, our teen facial uses salicylic or mandelic acid cleansing to target oil and bacteria at the follicle level, gentle extractions focused on comedones, antibacterial treatment, and lightweight oil-control finishing products. No retinoids. No heavy occlusive creams. No adult protocol applied to a 16-year-old. Home routine education is included at every session so your teen builds habits that support the treatment between visits.

The Protocol

Built for Hormonal Skin. Not a Shorter Adult Facial.

The teen facial is a distinct protocol, not an abbreviated version of our custom adult facial. The products are different. The exfoliation method is different. The extraction focus is different. The finishing products are different.

Teen skin needs oil control, antibacterial treatment, and non-comedogenic hydration. It does not need peptide serums for fine lines, heavy occlusives, or retinoids. Getting this wrong, applying adult products to teen skin, can aggravate acne and disrupt the skin barrier rather than improving it.

The Protocol

What Happens at Every Teen Facial Session

01
Skin Assessment
Your aesthetician assesses the teen’s skin type, current breakout pattern, congestion level, and any products currently being used at home. The session is customized based on current skin condition, not a fixed protocol applied to every appointment.
02
Salicylic Acid Cleanse
A salicylic or mandelic acid cleanser breaks down sebum and surface bacteria. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and penetrates the follicle to clear the debris that creates blackheads and whiteheads. This step is targeted and appropriate for acne-prone teenage skin.
03
Gentle Enzyme Exfoliation and Extraction
Light enzyme exfoliation removes dead skin cells without the irritation of stronger chemical or mechanical methods. Extraction focuses on comedones, blackheads and clogged pores, using gentle technique appropriate for sensitive teenage skin. No aggressive manual pressure.
04
Antibacterial Treatment, Oil-Control Finish, and Home Routine
Antibacterial serum reduces bacterial activity in cleared pores. A lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer and SPF finish the treatment. Your aesthetician spends time reviewing a simple, appropriate home routine the teen can actually follow, including product recommendations matched to their budget.
What It Addresses

Skin Concerns the Teen Facial Treats

Hormonal Acne
The primary concern for most teen patients. Salicylic acid cleansing, extraction, and antibacterial treatment address the follicular occlusion and bacterial activity that cause hormonal breakouts.
Blackheads and Whiteheads
Gentle comedone extraction clears clogged pores without the trauma of aggressive manual pressure. Monthly sessions prevent new comedones from forming as thoroughly as single-session extractions clear them.
Excess Sebum and Oily Skin
Oil-control serum and non-comedogenic finishing products regulate sebum without stripping the skin barrier. Stripping oily teenage skin triggers compensatory sebum production that worsens oiliness.
Congested Pores
Enlarged, clogged pores are common in teenagers due to high sebum production. Monthly extraction and salicylic acid cleansing progressively clear and minimize pore congestion over a 3-4 month series.
Post-Inflammatory Marks
The dark marks left by acne after breakouts resolve. Gentle brightening ingredients can be incorporated into the session for teens with significant post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Poor Home Routine
Most teens use inappropriate products for their skin type. The home routine education component of every teen facial session addresses this directly with simple, affordable, effective recommendations.
For Parents

What Parents Should Know

The teen facial is designed for patients ages 13-19. Parents or guardians are welcome to accompany their teen to the first session and speak directly with the aesthetician about their teen’s skin history, products currently in use, and any concerns. The aesthetician will walk through the full protocol before beginning.

We recommend booking a series of 3 monthly sessions rather than a single appointment. Acne responds to consistent treatment. A single facial produces some improvement, but the cumulative effect of monthly extractions, consistent antibacterial treatment, and progressive pore clearance is where the real difference shows.

The 3-session program locks in the per-session rate. This is the most cost-effective way to give your teen consistent monthly care without booking month by month.

What the Teen Facial Does Not Include
No retinoids of any strength. Retinoids require dermatologist oversight for teenage patients.
No heavy occlusive moisturizers. These clog pores on acne-prone teenage skin.
No adult anti-aging serums or peptide complexes designed for mature skin.
No aggressive chemical peels. Gentle enzyme exfoliation only.
No extractions that cause skin trauma. Gentle comedone-focused technique only.

Note: For teens with moderate to severe cystic acne, prescription treatment through a dermatologist may be necessary alongside or before starting a facial series. Dr. Ashar can advise on this at your consultation.

Common Questions

Teen Facial FAQ

What age is the teen facial for?

The teen facial is designed for patients ages 13 through 19. Below age 13, we recommend consulting with your pediatrician or dermatologist first. Patients 20 and older are better served by our custom adult facial, which uses a more complete range of active ingredients appropriate for adult skin concerns.

Can a parent or guardian stay in the room?

Yes. Parents and guardians are welcome to accompany their teen to any session, particularly the first. We encourage a brief conversation between the parent, the teen, and the aesthetician at the start of the first appointment to align on skin history, current products, and concerns. After that initial session most teens prefer attending on their own as they build comfort with the treatment.

How many sessions will my teen need?

We recommend starting with a monthly series of 3 sessions. Most teens see meaningful improvement in acne frequency and severity over 3-4 consistent monthly sessions. Some teens see results more quickly. After completing the initial series, monthly maintenance sessions keep congestion managed and support continued skin health. The 3-session program is the most cost-effective starting point.

Is the teen facial safe for sensitive or inflamed acne?

The teen facial is designed to be gentle. Enzyme exfoliation is used rather than aggressive chemical or mechanical methods. Extractions are focused on comedones and avoid actively inflamed pustules or cysts. For teens with severe cystic acne or highly inflamed skin, our aesthetician will adjust the protocol at the session and may recommend a dermatologist consultation for prescription treatment alongside the facial series.

What should my teen do at home between sessions?

Home routine education is included at every teen facial session. Your aesthetician will recommend a simple morning and evening routine appropriate for your teen’s skin type: a salicylic acid or gentle gel cleanser, a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer, and a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ for daytime. She will advise against products that commonly worsen teen acne, including heavy creams, certain makeup primers, and fragrance-heavy products. Product recommendations are matched to a realistic teen budget.
