Treatable Areas
- Active acne breakouts and blemishes

How The Teen Cleanse Facial Works
The Teen Cleanse Facial is a comprehensive and educational experience performed under physician oversight. The treatment begins with a gentle consultation to understand the teen’s specific skin concerns, current routine, and goals.
Your skincare specialist will then perform a multi-step process tailored to young, sensitive skin. This includes a thorough yet gentle cleansing, followed by a mild exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and loosen debris from pores. Next, safe and professional extractions are performed as needed to clear existing blackheads and congestion. A calming, purifying mask is then applied to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. The facial concludes with the application of a lightweight, non-comedogenic hydrator and sun protection. A key part of the process is education, where our specialist provides practical advice on at-home care to maintain and improve results.
Whether you need surgical precision, metabolic wellness, or non-surgical refinement, we look at the big picture. Let’s design a unified treatment plan that addresses your health and beauty under one roof.

FAQs about The Teen Cleanse Facial
How often should a teen get this facial?
For best results, we often recommend an initial series of facials spaced a few weeks apart to get breakouts under control, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks to keep skin clear and healthy.
Will the facial be painful?
The facial is designed to be gentle and is generally a relaxing experience. If extractions are needed to clear clogged pores, there might be a few moments of slight, temporary discomfort, but our specialists are trained to be as gentle as possible.
Is there any downtime after the facial?
There is no significant downtime. Some teens may experience mild, temporary redness, but this usually subsides within an hour or two. They can return to school and other normal activities immediately after the appointment.
At what age is it appropriate to start getting facials?
We recommend starting the Teen Cleanse Facial when skin concerns like blackheads, oiliness, or acne begin to appear, which can be as early as 11 or 12 for some. The focus is on early intervention and education.
Can the facial make acne worse before it gets better?
In some cases of congested skin, a “purging” process can occur where underlying blemishes come to the surface after a deep-cleansing treatment. This is a temporary and positive sign that the pores are clearing out, leading to clearer skin in the long run.
What makes this different from a facial at a regular spa?
The Teen Cleanse Facial at The Collins Center is performed in a medical setting under the direction of a double board-certified plastic surgeon. It focuses on clinical results, safety, and providing teens with medically sound education for long-term skin health, which goes beyond a typical spa experience.
