Acne & Breakout Treatment
Acne Facial in Cherry Creek, Denver
Breakouts don’t care how old you are — and Denver’s dry, high-altitude air can make acne-prone skin even harder to balance. At Nekadam Skin Esthetics in Cherry Creek, licensed esthetician Lara has spent over a decade helping Denver clients reach clearer, calmer skin with targeted acne facials — using natural products and gentle, effective techniques instead of harsh, one-size-fits-all protocols.

What is an acne facial?
An acne facial is a deep-cleansing, calming treatment built specifically for inflamed, congested, cystic, and breakout-prone skin. It combines a thorough cleanse, professional extractions, and soothing, barrier-supporting actives to clear buildup, reduce surface bacteria, and kick-start your skin’s natural healing — without stripping or over-drying it.
Because acne-prone skin shifts with hormones, stress, season, and your home routine, Lara reads your skin at every appointment and adjusts the treatment accordingly. You’re never getting a fixed, off-the-shelf protocol — you’re getting a plan that responds to what your skin is doing right now.
What to expect
- Cleanse & skin analysis — a fresh start and a close read of what your skin needs that day.
- Gentle exfoliation — enzymes and mild acids to lift dead cells and unclog pores.
- Professional extractions — careful clearing of congestion, only what’s ready, to avoid trauma.
- Calming, clarifying treatment — antibacterial and soothing actives plus a targeted mask.
- Hydration & barrier support — because clear skin still needs to stay balanced and protected.
- Home-care guidance — the routine that keeps results going between visits.
Most clients feel calm and comfortable throughout. Any mild redness from extractions usually settles within a few hours.
Who it’s for
- Teen and adult acne
- Hormonal breakouts
- Cystic & congested skin

Why Nekadam for acne
Acne is one of Lara’s core specialties, alongside rosacea and pigmentation. Since 2015 she’s built a loyal Cherry Creek following by getting results the gentle way — she’s certified in Bioelements and PCA Skin treatments and took 1st place in the 2017 National Face-Off Competition.
You see Lara every single visit. No rotating staff, no rushed appointments, and no pressure to buy things you don’t need. Because she uses natural, clean products rather than harsh, drying actives, this approach works well even for sensitive and reactive skin that hasn’t responded well elsewhere.

Acne facial FAQs
How many acne facials will I need?
Many clients notice a difference after one visit, but acne is a process. For active or cystic acne, Lara usually suggests a short series of treatments a few weeks apart, paired with the right home care, then a maintenance facial every 4 to 6 weeks.
Will extractions hurt or damage my skin?
Extractions can feel slightly uncomfortable but shouldn’t be painful. Lara extracts gently and only clears what’s ready, to avoid trauma or scarring. Mild redness usually settles within a few hours.
Can you help with acne scars too?
Yes. Once active breakouts are calmer, microneedling can help soften the look of acne scars and uneven texture over a series of sessions. Lara will tell you when your skin is ready for it.
Is this safe for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. Lara tailors every acne facial to your skin’s sensitivity and uses gentle, natural products rather than harsh actives — which is especially important for reactive or rosacea-prone skin.
