What an acne facial includes
An acne facial in Falls Church at Skin Lab is our Custom Lab Facial built for breakout-prone skin: a deep cleanse, steam, exfoliation, careful extractions of blackheads and clogged pores, and a calming mask. You leave with clearer pores and a plan for keeping them that way.
It is $150, or $99 for Lab Glow members. For acne marks and uneven tone, see the acne-targeting Glow Peel. Call 703-488-7546 to book.
Acne facial pricing
The facial, plus the two treatments we most often pair with it.
Glow Peel, acne-targeting
A chemical peel that clears pores and fades the marks breakouts leave behind.
DiamondGlow Classic Facial
Suction extraction with a diamond tip and a serum for congestion, when pores are clogged but skin is not inflamed.
Extractions done properly
Why not at home
Squeezing at home pushes some of the blockage deeper and often leaves a mark that lasts longer than the spot. In the treatment room the skin is softened first, each pore is cleared with clean tools and even pressure, and anything too inflamed is left alone.
We also look at why the pores are clogging: products, hormones, friction from a mask or helmet. The facial clears what is there, and the home plan is what changes the next month.
What we treat

Acne facial questions
How much does an acne facial cost in Falls Church?
The acne facial at Skin Lab is the Custom Lab Facial set up for acne-prone skin. It is $150 and takes 45 to 50 minutes, or $99 with the Lab Glow Classic membership.
Do extractions hurt?
You feel pressure, and some spots are more tender than others. Steam and exfoliation soften the pores first, which makes extractions quicker and gentler than doing them at home.
Will my skin be red afterward?
Areas that needed extractions can be pink for a few hours, sometimes until the next morning. Plan the facial at least two days before an event.
How often should I get an acne facial?
Every four weeks is typical while skin is breaking out, then every four to six weeks to keep pores clear. Extractions remove what is there. A regular schedule and the right products slow it from coming back.
Is this suitable for teenagers?
Yes. The Custom Lab Facial has a teen version with gentler products and a focus on cleansing and extractions. Call us to book for a patient under 18.
What if a facial is not enough?
Skin Lab is physician-led, so we can tell you when acne needs more than a facial. Options here include the acne-targeting Glow Peel and microneedling for marks and scars once breakouts are calm. For cystic or painful acne we will recommend a medical visit.
Should I stop my acne products before the facial?
Tell us what you use. We usually ask you to pause retinoids and strong acids for a few days before and after so the skin is not over-exfoliated.
