Acne Facial in West Hollywood
$300 | 1 hour 10 minutes | With skin expert Christopher David at LDM Hair, West Hollywood
Book Acne FacialAll skin treatments
A clinical acne facial for breakouts, blackheads, congested pores and post-acne marks, performed by esthetician and skincare formulator Christopher David. At LDM Hair the acne facial is our Blemish Fix Facial: a deep-cleansing, decongesting treatment that clears what is there now and calms the skin so it breaks out less. Every session starts with a skin consultation, so the exfoliation, extractions and actives are chosen for your skin, not pulled from a menu.
What to expect
Christopher starts with a skin analysis to identify what is driving the breakouts: oil, congestion, bacteria, hormonal flare-ups or product irritation. A thorough double cleanse and steam soften the skin, followed by a customized exfoliation that clears dead skin without stripping the barrier.
Extractions are done carefully and completely, including the stubborn blackheads around the nose and chin, then the skin is calmed with a soothing mask. LED light therapy targets acne-causing bacteria and redness, and a cooling oxygen infusion finishes the treatment so you leave calm, not red.
Acne facial vs. HydraFacial
For active breakouts and heavy congestion, the acne facial is the right call because it includes manual extractions and acne-specific actives. For mild congestion, dull skin and maintenance between acne facials, the HydraFacial is gentler and hydrating. Christopher will tell you which one your skin needs at the consultation.
Results and how often to book
Expect visibly clearer, calmer skin right away and fewer new breakouts over the following weeks. Acne-prone skin does best on a series: every 3 to 4 weeks until clear, then monthly for maintenance. Christopher will also map out a simple home routine so the results hold between visits.

Frequently asked questions
How much is an acne facial in West Hollywood at LDM Hair?
The acne facial (Blemish Fix Facial) is $300 for 1 hour 10 minutes. Add-ons are confirmed at your consultation before anything starts.
Will an acne facial make my skin worse before it gets better?
A small amount of purging can happen after extractions, but the LED and oxygen steps are designed to calm the skin so most clients leave looking clearer, not redder.
How often should I get an acne facial?
Every 3 to 4 weeks while skin is actively breaking out, then monthly for maintenance. Christopher sets the schedule based on your skin.
Do you treat teen acne and men's acne?
Yes. Teens, men and adults with hormonal acne are all treated in the same private, appointment-only studio.
Can I get an acne facial before an event?
Book at least a week ahead so any post-extraction redness is fully gone. For same-week events, a HydraFacial or oxygen facial is the safer choice.
