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.

Benifits

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.

How It work

How Acne Treatments Work

Professional acne treatments work by targeting the four root causes of breakouts: excess oil (sebum), clogged follicles, bacterial overgrowth (C. acnes), and inflammation. Unlike topical products you use at home, in-office treatments use clinical-grade technology and formulations – including medical-grade peels, enzyme therapies, plasma technology, and advanced modalities like microcurrent and microneedling – to address acne at multiple layers of the skin simultaneously.

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.
Process

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.

Our signature results-focused acne facial — built for clients who are serious about getting clear.

Includes: deep cleanse, steam, extractions, enzyme therapy, targeted anti-acne masking, and soothing post-care. The goal isn’t just to clear what’s there — it’s to prevent what’s coming next.

Diamond Glow Oxygen Facial

75 Minutes, $275

The Diamond Glow is a 3-in-1 skin resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion in a single step.

For acne treatments, it preps the skin to receive serums and active ingredients more deeply and effectively.

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.

Enhance Your Experience

Muscle Banding, $75

An alkaline solution breaks down the lipid matrix surrounding follicular impactions, dissolving stubborn blockages and delivering powerful antibacterial action that ordinary treatments can’t match. 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.

Jet Plasma

45 Minutes · $250

Jet Plasma uses ionized gas to penetrate the skin and remodel its cellular structure from the inside out. For acne clients, it delivers two powerful benefits simultaneously: it naturally kills acne-causing bacteria without chemicals, and it significantly reduces the inflammation behind cystic and papular acne. Over time, it also stimulates collagen and smooths the appearance of scarring and post-inflammatory changes.

Can be added to any facial for $125 (OxyLight not included unless already part of your chosen facial). Best for: Inflammatory acne, cystic breakouts, clients seeking a chemical-free antibacterial treatment.

Enhance Your Experience

RDS or BioRePeel, $200

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need to clear my acne?

It depends on your skin and the severity of your acne. Some clients see significant improvement after 2–3 sessions; others with moderate or cystic acne will benefit most from a consistent series of 6–12 treatments spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Your esthetician will give you a realistic expectation during your consultation.
A temporary purge — where underlying congestion comes to the surface — can occur with certain treatments, particularly peels and enzyme therapies. This is a normal part of the clearing process and typically resolves within 1–2 weeks. Your esthetician will prepare you for what to expect.
We recommend going makeup-free for at least 24 hours after most acne treatments to allow the skin to breathe and heal. After a peel, you may need to wait longer. Your esthetician will advise you specifically at the end of your appointment.

Yes. Many of our treatments — including the HydraFacial, DMK Enzyme Therapy, Microcurrent, and Jet Plasma — are safe for all skin tones and sensitive skin. We will always choose and customize your treatment based on your Fitzpatrick skin type and any sensitivities. Some peels (like the Perfect Dermal Peel) are specifically formulated to be used on all skin colors.

Clients currently on Accutane cannot receive certain treatments, including peels and dermaplaning. Some modalities (such as Microcurrent and LED Light Therapy) may still be appropriate. Please let us know during your consultation, and note that the Perfect Dermal Peel requires a 12-month pause after Accutane use.
Yes! The Vivant ProPeel and Cell Story Liquid Microneedling can both be performed on the back. Ask your esthetician about a customized back acne treatment plan.
That’s exactly what our New Client Skincare Consultation is for. The $200 fee is credited toward your same-day treatment, so you’ll leave not only with a plan but with clear skin already in progress.
