2021 Guide To Spa Acne Treatments

Treating Acne In The Spa Can Be Highly Effective

An Acne facial is on many of the spa menus in the United States. In 2019 there were over 21,000 spas in the United States, and that number doesn’t include solo estheticians.

We want to showcase spa acne facials and acne home care products, that consumers can get from estheticians and day spas!  Our goal is to show that, while many times consumers assume they need to go to a physician, it can be as easy as booking an appointment with a local esthetician and getting one or 2 home care products. Solutions can be simple and easy to access.
