Teen Facial
The Teen Facial is designed specifically for teenagers aged 12-16 years old, targeting common skin concerns like congestion, acne, and dry skin. Teen years can be a challenging time for the skin, as hormonal changes often lead to increased oil production, which can cause acne. This excess oil can combine with bacteria and dead skin cells, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Additionally, factors like stress, diet, and skincare habits can further trigger these skin issues.
But it’s not just oiliness—teen skin can also become dehydrated. Environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and even using the wrong skincare products can strip away moisture, leaving the skin feeling dry and unbalanced. This dehydration can exacerbate other skin concerns, including sensitivity, redness, and even more breakouts as the skin tries to overcompensate with excess oil.
Our Teen Facial is a gentle yet effective way to address these issues. This 45-minute treatment includes:
- Enzyme Treatment: To gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin clear and refreshed.
- Oxygen Mask: Helps to infuse the skin with essential nutrients and oxygen, promoting a healthy glow and assisting in the healing process.
- Hydrating Peptide Mask: This deeply moisturizing mask nourishes the skin, replenishing lost moisture and helping to restore balance.
- LED Therapy: Depending on each teen’s unique skin concerns, we select the most suitable LED light for their needs:
- Blue Light LED: Specifically targets acne-causing bacteria, helping to kill bacteria build-up that contributes to breakouts and reducing inflammation for clearer skin.
- Red Light LED: Promotes healing, reduces redness, and stimulates collagen production, ideal for those with dry or irritated skin.
- Near-Infrared Light: This advanced LED therapy supports the healing process, making it especially beneficial for acne scars and active breakouts. It helps to reduce scarring, improve overall skin texture, and soothe sensitive skin. Near-infrared light is also effective in reducing redness and calming inflammation, making it a great choice for teens dealing with irritation and acne-prone skin.

FAQs
Acne is especially common in teenagers due to hormonal changes that increase oil production in the skin. This excess oil, or sebum, can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Stress, diet, and certain skincare products can also trigger or worsen acne during these years. According to All About Acne, over 80% of teens experience acne to some degree.

es, specific types of bacteria, such as Cutibacterium acnes, play a role in acne formation by increasing inflammation and clogging pores. For teens, it’s particularly important to manage this bacterial buildup to reduce the severity of breakouts. Our Teen Facial includes near-infrared LED therapy, which can help kill acne-causing bacteria, promoting clearer skin and reducing inflammation.

Teen skin can become dehydrated due to environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and even the use of harsh acne treatments. Dehydration can make the skin more prone to irritation and cause it to overproduce oil, which can worsen acne. Our Teen Facial includes a hydrating peptide mask, which helps restore moisture balance, making it ideal for teens with dry or combination skin.

LED therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light wavelengths to address specific skin issues. For teens, near-infrared LED is especially beneficial, as it aids in the healing process, reduces acne-related inflammation, and helps minimize acne scars. This makes it a great choice for reducing the redness of active breakouts and promoting smoother skin over time.
