What is an acne facial?
An acne facial combines several steps aimed at the main drivers of acne: excess oil, blocked pores, bacteria and inflammation. A typical session includes cleansing, gentle exfoliation or a mild peel, extraction of comedones, and calming care such as soothing masks or LED light therapy.
Unlike a spa facial, an acne facial in a medical clinic is adjusted to the type and severity of your acne, and the doctor can add treatments such as anti-inflammatory injections for painful spots or chemical peels for congestion. At Egg Clinic, this care can be combined in our Acne Total Care Program.
Who is a good candidate?
- Active mild to moderate breakouts
- Blackheads, whiteheads and congested skin
- Oily or acne-prone skin
- Post-acne redness and irritation
- Anyone wanting regular, professional acne maintenance
Severe cystic or nodular acne usually needs medical treatment from the doctor in addition to facials. If you take isotretinoin or use strong retinoids, some steps such as peels may be adjusted or postponed. Tell the team about any allergies or very sensitive skin.

Frequently asked questions
Do acne facials really help?
Yes, they help clear blocked pores and calm inflammation, especially when combined with good home care and, where needed, medical treatment.
How often should I get an acne facial?
Many people benefit from sessions every two to four weeks while breakouts are active, then less often for maintenance.
Does an acne facial hurt?
Most steps are comfortable. Extraction causes brief pressure and mild discomfort.
Is there downtime after an acne facial?
Mild redness usually settles within a few hours. You can return to normal activities the same day.
Can acne facials treat acne scars?
They help prevent new marks but do not remove established scars. For scars, see options like acne scar treatment.
How much does an acne facial cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the steps included, and we confirm it before you start. See our published acne care prices.
