Treating acne, not just today's breakout

Acne is a cycle, so a single facial rarely settles it. Congested skin that also needs hydration is often better served by the HydraFacial & Acne Treatment. A clinical acne treatment does two things at once: it clears what is already congested through careful extraction and exfoliation, and it calms the conditions that keep producing breakouts — excess oil, retained dead skin, and inflammation.

Each 75-minute session is built around what your skin is doing that week. Actively inflamed skin is treated gently; congested but calm skin can take deeper exfoliation and more extraction.

What a session involves

  • Skin analysis to identify what type of acne you are dealing with — surface congestion, inflammatory papules, or hormonal patterns along the jaw.
  • Deep cleansing and exfoliation to release the plugs that trap oil and bacteria.
  • Extraction performed properly, which is the difference between clearing a lesion and scarring it.
  • Calming and repair with serums that reduce redness and support the barrier so skin recovers faster.
  • A home routine that fits what you will realistically do, because most of the result comes from what happens between appointments.

How long it takes to see change

Many clients see visible improvement in tone and congestion after two to three sessions, though results vary. Because the skin's turnover cycle runs roughly four to six weeks, meaningful clearing usually takes a series rather than a single visit — which is why sessions are offered in three- and six-session packages.

Acne scarring and post-acne marks

The dark marks left behind after a breakout fade with consistent treatment and sun protection. Textural scarring — the pitted kind — responds to microneedling rather than acne facials, and that is treated separately once active breakouts are under control.

Where to find us

Aesthetic OOGII has treated acne-prone skin from 450 Sutter St #1530 in Union Square since 2018. Oogii is a certified medical and clinical aesthetician who works with clients over a course of treatment rather than one appointment at a time — the plan gets adjusted as your skin changes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does professional acne treatment cost in San Francisco?
At Aesthetic OOGII, a 75-minute clinical acne treatment is $210. Three- and six-session packages are available and lower the per-session cost. Current pricing for each option is listed above.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see visible improvement after two to three sessions and book a series of three to six; results vary with the type and severity of acne. Skin turns over every four to six weeks, so clearing takes consistent treatment rather than one visit.
Should I see an esthetician or a dermatologist for acne?
If you have cystic, painful, or scarring acne, see a dermatologist — that often needs prescription medication. A clinical esthetician is the right choice for congestion, blackheads, mild to moderate breakouts, texture, and post-acne marks, and works well alongside dermatologist care.
Will extractions make my acne worse?
Done correctly, extraction clears a lesion without damaging surrounding tissue. Skin can look slightly pink for a few hours afterward. Picking at home is what causes marks and scarring — that is exactly what professional extraction avoids.
Can I come in if I am on Accutane or a prescription retinoid?
Not on isotretinoin (Accutane) — wait at least six months after finishing, since skin is fragile and extraction or exfoliation can injure it. Prescription retinoids are usually fine, but stop applying for about five days before your appointment and tell us what you use so the treatment can be adjusted.
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
It is best to give your skin the rest of the day bare so it can recover. Makeup the following morning is fine.
