Clear Skin Is a Journey. Let’s Walk It Together.
If you’ve tried everything and your acne keeps coming back, this treatment is for you. My Clarifying Acne Treatment is not a one-time facial that looks good for two days. It’s my signature, result-driven protocol built from 10 years in medical spas treating stubborn, sensitive, and hormonal acne here in Los Angeles.
I don’t cover acne. I calm inflammation, deeply clear congestion, and rebuild your barrier so your skin stops breaking out.
How it works – My 3-step method:
1. Deep Analysis First: Every new acne client starts with a comprehensive skin and lifestyle analysis. We look at products, hormones, diet triggers, and past treatments. No guessing.
2. Clarifying Treatment: Deep but gentle cleanse, professional steam, careful extractions (I take my time here), calming antibacterial and anti-inflammatory infusion, and LED or oxygen recovery to reduce redness. No harsh scrubbing, no painful picking.
3. Your Plan at Home: 70% of clear skin happens at home. After your facial, I build you a simple, minimal routine with only what you need. I check in with you between visits — because for me, this is a relationship, not a booking.
Best for: Hormonal acne, congested pores, blackheads, inflamed breakouts, post-acne marks, oily and sensitive acne-prone skin.
The By Mahtab Difference:
I’ve spent 10 years seeing acne of all kinds. I know how it affects your confidence. My clients stay because I remember their skin, their triggers, and their progress photos. I am honest about timelines and I will never sell you a product you don’t need. We track your skin together, visit by visit.
What to expect:
• During: 75 minutes. Thorough, unhurried, and focused on extractions. Some discomfort during extractions is normal, but I work gently.
• Right after: Skin is calmer, less congested, redness fades within hours. No heavy peeling.
• Downtime: Minimal. You may have some small healing spots for 1-2 days if we did deep extractions. You can go to work.
• Results: Skin feels clearer after one session. Real, lasting clearing takes consistency.
How many sessions?
Acne doesn’t clear in one facial. For best results, I recommend 4 to 6 sessions, every 2 weeks at first, then monthly maintenance. We will look at your photos together each time and adjust.
Aftercare:
No picking, no new actives for 3 days, SPF 50, and stick to the routine I give you. Please message me if you get a breakout between sessions — I want to help.
Duration: 75 min
Downtime: Minimal
Results: Progressive with consistency
Your Acne Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about extractions, downtime, and how my clarifying protocol helps you achieve lasting, clear results.
When done correctly with proper prep and aftercare, no. That’s why I never rush extractions and why at-home picking is the real cause of scars.
No. I only extract what is ready. Inflamed, deep cysts are calmed, not forced. That’s how we avoid more inflammation.
Regular facials are for relaxation. This is clinical, focused, and includes a full lifestyle review and a home plan. Plus, I track your progress long-term.
Absolutely. Many of my clients are also under dermatology care. We can work as a team.
