If you struggle with acne breakouts or stubborn hyperpigmentation, you’re not
alone. Many clients in Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Torrance,
Hawthorne, and Redondo Beach come to me after trying countless products that
didn’t work.
The truth? Over-the-counter solutions often treat symptoms, not the root cause. That’s
why customized facials are one of the most effective ways to clear acne, fade dark
spots, and restore healthy, glowing skin.
Why Acne and Hyperpigmentation Are So Common in South
Bay
Living in South Bay has its perks, but it can also impact your skin:
- Exfoliating damaged skin cells – revealing brighter, more even skin.
- Chemical peels (when appropriate) – fading discoloration and stimulating renewal.
- Brightening masks & serums – targeting pigmentation at the source.
- Education & aftercare – ensuring you protect your results with proper at-home products
and SPF.
- Sun exposure accelerates hyperpigmentation and makes dark spots linger.
- Pollution and coastal air clog pores and trigger breakouts.
- Stress and busy lifestyles disrupt the skin barrier and worsen acne.
- Wrong skincare products can cause irritation or make pigmentation darker.
This combination makes professional, targeted treatments essential for lasting results.
How Customized Facials Treat Acne
A customized acne facial is designed to target your skin’s unique triggers. At Emily Nicole
Studio, I tailor each treatment to focus on:
- Deep cleansing & extractions – removing pore congestion without damaging the skin.
- LED light therapy – killing acne-causing bacteria and calming inflammation.
- Targeted exfoliation – reducing buildup and preventing new breakouts.
- Barrier support & hydration – keeping skin balanced and resilient.
Unlike spa facials, these treatments don’t just make your skin look good for a day—they
work to prevent future breakouts.
How Customized Facials Help Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation (dark spots, melasma, acne scars) is one of the most common
concerns I see in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach clients,
especially with all the sun exposure in South Bay. Customized facials can help by:
With consistency, many clients notice a significant reduction in dark spots and a more even
complexion.
Why Customized Facials Work Better Than Generic Treatments
- Tailored to your skin’s needs – no cookie-cutter menus.
- Science + holistic care – addressing both internal and external factors.
- Ongoing skin education – you’ll learn what causes your acne or pigmentation and how
to manage it. - Visible improvements – clients often see progress within a few sessions.

FAQs About Acne & Hyperpigmentation Facials
How many facials will I need to see results?
Most clients see improvements after 1–3 treatments, with best results coming from
consistent monthly facials.
Can customized facials cure acne permanently?
There’s no “cure,” but consistent treatments and proper home care can keep acne under
control long-term.
Will chemical peels make my hyperpigmentation worse?
Not when done correctly by a licensed esthetician. I tailor peels and exfoliation to your skin
type to avoid irritation.
