Acne Treatments

Professional Acne Treatments in Los Angeles
At Face of Jules, treating acne is one of our deepest passions — and one of our greatest areas of expertise. Since opening in Hollywood in 2017, Jules and her team have guided hundreds of clients through every stage of the acne journey: from the first breakout to the last scar. With over 15 years of professional experience and 300+ five-star reviews, we know that acne is never one-size-fits-all. That’s why every treatment we offer is built around your unique skin, your triggers, and your goals.
Acne thrives on bacteria, inflammation, clogged pores, and compromised skin function. Our approach tackles all of it — not just the surface. Whether you’re dealing with occasional hormonal breakouts, stubborn cystic acne, post-acne scarring, or hyperpigmentation left behind by old blemishes, we have a targeted, results-driven treatment to meet you where you are.
Not sure where to start? Our New Client Skincare Consultation (75 min, $200 -credited toward your same-day treatment) is the perfect first step. We’ll analyze your skin under magnification, discuss your history, and build a customized plan that works.
If you are in Los Angeles and want to book an appointment please call us or book your appointment online today.
Key Benefits of Professional Acne Treatment
Unlike drugstore products, professional acne treatments penetrate deeper, work faster, and are customized to your skin type and severity.
- Kills acne-causing bacteria at the source
- Reduces active inflammation and redness
- Unclogs pores and removes impactions
- Fades post-acne dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Rebuilds the skin barrier and restores healthy skin function
- Prevents future breakouts, not just current ones
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars over time
- Safe for all skin tones and most skin types

How Acne Treatments Work
Each session begins with a deep cleanse and skin analysis, followed by targeted extractions (where appropriate), active treatment, and a soothing post-care protocol that leaves your skin calm, balanced, and primed to heal. Your esthetician will recommend a treatment series tailored to your skin’s needs, as consistent care is the foundation of lasting clarity.
What to Expect During Your Visit
01
Skin Analysis
Your esthetician examines your skin under magnification to assess breakout type, severity, and any contributing factors.
02
Deep Cleanse & Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to maximize treatment efficacy and minimize irritation.
03
Active Treatment
Your chosen treatment is performed — targeting bacteria, inflammation, clogged pores, or scarring depending on your plan.
04
Extractions (where applicable)
Manual or device-assisted extractions safely clear impactions without causing trauma to surrounding tissue.
05
Soothing & Sealing
Anti-inflammatory serums, masks, and calming agents are applied to reduce redness and support healing.
06
SPF & Post-Care Guidance
Your session ends with sun protection and a clear after-care plan to maintain your results at home.

Post-Treatment Soothing & Protection
Calming Serum
After every acne treatment, a targeted serum typically containing niacinamide, aloe vera, or centella asiatica is applied to quiet inflammation, reduce redness, and support the skin's natural repair process.
Lightweight Moisturizer
Even acne-prone skin needs hydration. We apply a non-comedogenic, barrier-supporting moisturizer that hydrates without congesting pores, keeping skin comfortable and resilient as it heals.
Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
Post-treatment skin is more vulnerable to UV damage and sun exposure can deepen post-acne marks. We finish every session with a clean, non-comedogenic SPF to protect your fresh skin. In sunny Los Angeles, this step is non-negotiable.
Before Your Treatment
- Come with a clean, makeup-free face
- Avoid using retinol or strong actives for 48 hours prior
- Avoid chemical peels or professional exfoliation for at least 1 week prior
- Let your esthetician know about any current medications, including Accutane (certain treatments require a 12-month pause after Accutane)
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning in the days leading up to your appointment
After Your Treatment
- Apply SPF 30+ daily — no exceptions
- Avoid retinol, AHAs, and BHAs for 2–5 days (depending on treatment)
- Do not pick, squeeze, or touch breakouts — let your skin heal
- Stay out of direct sun and avoid saunas or steam for 24–48 hours
- Keep skin hydrated with gentle, non-comedogenic products
- Follow any specific after-care instructions provided at your appointment

Every treatment below targets acne and its aftermath in a different way. Your esthetician will help you choose the right starting point and the right combination for your skin.

New Client Skincare Consultation

DMK Enzyme Therapy
90 Minutes, $250-$350
DMK Enzyme Therapy is one of the most powerful results-driven treatments we offer for acne. It works by stimulating the skin’s own lymphatic drainage through the ‘plasmatic effect’ — a visible flush of oxygenated blood beneath the treatment mask that clears toxins, kills bacteria, and dramatically reduces inflammation from the inside out.
Equally effective for active acne, post-acne redness, rosacea, and sensitized skin, it rebuilds optimal skin function rather than just masking symptoms. The initial treatment includes a 30-day product kit. Repeat treatments are $250.
Best for: Persistent, inflammatory, or cystic acne; sensitized skin; acne alongside rosacea or redness.

Results are rapid and transformative for inflammatory acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and melasma.
Important: Clients must have completed at least 2 DMK Enzyme Therapy treatments at Face of Jules prior to this treatment. Best for: Stubborn or cystic acne, clients who haven’t responded to other treatments, acne alongside scarring or melasma.
