The Treatment

What the Goodbye Acne Facial Includes

Two clinically effective modalities combined into one 60-minute session. Browse all facial services to compare treatments available at Skin In The Game DC.

Blue LED Light Therapy

Targets the bacteria responsible for active breakouts and reduces the inflammation keeping your skin irritated. Non-invasive and effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Chemical Peel

Exfoliates at a depth no at-home product reaches. Clears congested pores, addresses surface texture, and preps your skin to respond better to every treatment that follows.

TOMA Protocol Products

Every step uses TOMA Essential Skin Therapy formulas: a practitioner-grade, clean bioactive line formulated specifically for professional acne and skin correction work.

Who It's Built For

You Have Tried Everything. Your Skin Still Breaks Out.

The Goodbye Acne Facial is designed for adults with persistent breakouts, hormonal acne, or congested skin that has not responded to over-the-counter products. Whether you are dealing with surface blemishes or deeper cystic inflammation, this treatment addresses both the bacteria and the buildup driving the cycle.

Washington, D.C. residents from Shaw, Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, the Golden Triangle, and the K Street corridor book this as their go-to professional acne treatment. The studio sits at 1725 I St NW, steps from Farragut West Metro. Read our comprehensive adult acne treatment guide for more background on what actually works.

This facial is a good fit if you:

  • Wake up regularly to new blemishes despite a consistent skincare routine
  • Experience hormonal or stress-triggered breakouts that cycle without fully clearing
  • Want professional results without harsh prescription-level side effects
  • Need to clear active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming

Dealing with acne scars? The microchanneling service is built for texture and scar correction after active acne is under control.
