Acne Facial in Ashford, Surrey

The Acne Facial at Autumn Harmony is a bespoke, results-driven Facial treatment designed specifically for blemish-prone, acne, and congested skin. More than a standard facial, it is a targeted clinical treatment — combining professional-grade problem control products, extended time for extractions where required, and High Frequency therapy to actively address the causes and visible effects of acne.

Every Acne Facial is tailored to your skin on the day. Whether you are dealing with active breakouts, post-acne marks, congestion, or a combination of concerns, the treatment is adapted to meet your skin exactly where it is.

Looking to support your skin between appointments? An Online Personalised Skin Reset Plan can be tailored to your acne skin to help you build a routine that works alongside your in-clinic treatments.

Based at Heather's Beauty Box Salon in Ashford, Surrey TW15, I offer the Acne Facial to clients across Ashford, Feltham, Sunbury, Staines, Shepperton, and surrounding areas — and as a Mobile Treatment at your home.

What the Acne Facial Can Help With

  • Active breakouts and inflamed blemishes
  • Blackheads, whiteheads, and congested pores
  • Post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
  • Oily and combination skin
  • Uneven skin texture caused by blemishes
  • Skin that feels congested, dull, or unresponsive
  • Recurring breakout cycles

What Your Treatment Includes

The Acne Facial follows a structured, targeted protocol — with additional time built in for extractions and High Frequency therapy where needed.

  1. Consultation & Skin Assessment — your skin is assessed in detail before treatment begins. Breakout patterns, skin history, current skincare routine, and any relevant lifestyle or hormonal factors are discussed to ensure the treatment is fully tailored to you.
  2. Double Cleanse — a thorough Double Cleanse removes all surface impurities, makeup, SPF, and excess sebum, preparing the skin for active treatment.
  3. Exfoliation — a targeted exfoliation step removes dead skin cells and helps loosen congestion within the pores, preparing the skin for extractions and improving the penetration of the active products to follow.
  4. Problem Control Toner — a professional-grade toner formulated for blemish-prone skin is applied to balance the skin, refine pores, and prepare the skin for the targeted serum. This step helps regulate sebum production and supports a clearer, more balanced complexion.
  5. Extractions — additional time is allocated for thorough, professional extractions where required. Blackheads, whiteheads, and congested pores are carefully cleared using professional technique — safely and hygienically, without causing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin.
  6. High Frequency Therapy — following extractions, High Frequency current is applied to the skin using a glass electrode. This is one of the most effective post-extraction steps available in professional skincare — see below for a full explanation of its benefits.
  7. Problem Control Serum — a targeted serum formulated for acne and blemish-prone skin is applied and worked into the skin. This step delivers concentrated active ingredients to address congestion, regulate sebum, and support clearer skin over time.
  8. Soothing Mask — a calming, anti-inflammatory mask is applied to settle the skin after active treatment, reduce redness, and support the skin barrier.
  9. Moisturiser & SPF — a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF are applied to protect and finish the treatment.

Treatment time is approximately 60–90 minutes.

High Frequency Therapy — Why It Matters for Acne Skin

High Frequency is a professional skin treatment that uses a mild, safe electrical current passed through an inert gas-filled glass electrode to produce a therapeutic effect on the skin. At Autumn Harmony, it is used as a targeted step within the Acne Facial protocol — applied directly after extractions, when the skin is most receptive to its benefits.

High Frequency works through two primary mechanisms:

  • Germicidal action — the electrical current produces ozone at the skin's surface, which has a natural antibacterial and antiseptic effect. This helps to eliminate the bacteria associated with acne breakouts (Cutibacterium acnes), reducing the risk of infection after extractions and helping to prevent new blemishes from forming
  • Thermal stimulation — the gentle warmth generated by the current increases local circulation, bringing fresh oxygenated blood to the skin. This supports healing, reduces inflammation, and helps calm redness and post-extraction sensitivity

Additional benefits of High Frequency for acne skin include:

  • Helps to dry out and heal active blemishes more quickly
  • Reduces post-extraction redness and swelling
  • Supports the skin's natural healing response
  • Improves overall skin clarity over a course of treatments
  • Stimulates lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness and congestion

High Frequency is a safe, non-invasive treatment with no downtime. It is particularly effective when used immediately after extractions, as the open pores are more receptive to its germicidal and healing effects.

Who Is the Acne Facial Suitable For?

The Acne Facial is suitable for teenagers and adults experiencing:

  • Mild to moderate acne — including hormonal, stress-related, and lifestyle-triggered breakouts
  • Congested or oily skin prone to blackheads and whiteheads
  • Post-acne marks and uneven skin tone
  • Skin that has not responded well to over-the-counter acne products
  • Those looking for a professional, considered approach to managing their skin

A full consultation is carried out before every treatment. If you have severe or cystic acne, I will advise on the most appropriate treatment approach at consultation — in some cases, a referral to a dermatologist may be recommended alongside professional facial treatments.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Results from the Acne Facial are cumulative. Many clients notice an improvement in skin clarity and a reduction in active blemishes after their first session. For more established acne concerns, a course of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended to deliver the most significant and lasting improvement.

After completing a course, monthly maintenance sessions are typically recommended to keep the skin clear and prevent congestion from building up again.

Aftercare

Your skin may appear slightly red or feel sensitive immediately after the Acne Facial — particularly following extractions. This is a normal response and typically settles within a few hours. To support your skin after treatment:

  • Avoid touching the face unnecessarily for the first 24 hours
  • Do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment — allow the skin to breathe and settle
  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF50 daily — sun protection is essential, particularly for post-acne marks
  • Keep the skin clean and well hydrated — avoid heavy or occlusive products for 48 hours
  • Avoid picking or squeezing any remaining blemishes
  • Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinoids, strong AHAs, BHAs) for 3–5 days unless advised otherwise

FAQs About the Acne Facial

Is the Acne Facial suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes — the treatment is always tailored to your skin on the day. If your skin is particularly sensitive or reactive, the protocol will be adapted accordingly. A full consultation is carried out before every treatment.

Will extractions be painful?

Professional extractions are carried out carefully and hygienically using correct technique. Some mild discomfort is normal, particularly over congested areas, but the process is managed to minimise trauma to the surrounding skin. The High Frequency step that follows helps to calm and settle the skin immediately after.

Is there a saving for booking a course?

Yes — a Course of 3 saves you £45 at the clinic (vs. £240 individually) or £50 on mobile (vs. £285 individually). The course must be used within 4 months of purchase, with a minimum of 4 weeks between each session.

Can teenagers have the Acne Facial?

Yes — the Acne Facial is suitable for teenage skin. For clients under 16, a parent or guardian must be present at the appointment and provide written consent before treatment can proceed.

How is the Acne Facial different from the Bespoke Facial?

The Bespoke Facial is a personalised treatment suitable for all skin types and concerns. The Acne Facial is a more targeted, clinical treatment specifically designed for blemish-prone and acne skin — with additional time for extractions, High Frequency therapy, and the use of problem control products formulated for acne skin.

Is this treatment available at the clinic and mobile?

Yes — the Acne Facial is available both at the clinic in Ashford, Surrey and as a Mobile Treatment at your home. A minimum booking value of £50 applies to all mobile appointments, before travel fees.

What products are used during the Acne Facial?

The Acne Facial uses professional-grade problem control products — including a targeted Problem Control Toner and Problem Control Serum — formulated specifically for blemish-prone and acne skin. These are not available for retail purchase. Your Skin Specialist will advise on suitable home care products at the end of your appointment.
