Adult Acne Facial
The Sous La Acne Facial takes our Integrated System Balancing approach because acne is a lymphatic and skin barrier issue not simply a bacteria issue as commonly believed. Our unique reparative approach reduces inflammation, stimulates the lymphatic system, releases tight muscles, heals the skin barrier and targets acne causing bacteria. The journey to clear skin continues beyond the treatment with a customized self-care routine to be used at home – and we’re not just talking product recos!

The Science
Acne Vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the hair follicles, is intricately linked to the functioning of the lymphatic system. This system is pivotal in addressing acne, as it addresses underlying causes that lead to breakouts. Our skin, acting as an elimination organ, reflects the burden on the lymphatic system. Various triggers, including diet, hormones, lifestyle factors, mold exposure, and medications, can exacerbate acne. Disruption of the skin barriers further heightens susceptibility to breakouts. Remarkably, about one-third of our lymph nodes are located in the face and neck regions, with lymph fluid draining above the collarbones. This is another reason why acne is most commonly manifests in the face and neck. Tightness in muscles and fascia can slow the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the skin, hindering the healing process. We take all this into account at Sous La when treating the inflammatory disorder acne is.
Before/Aftercare

AFTER
- Possible mild redness for one hour post treatment
