Facial treatment for acne and breakouts

Breakout-prone skin needs a calm, consistent approach rather than an aggressive one. The focus is on cleansing, soothing and reducing congestion, with a clear word on when a dermatologist comes first.

Who is this treatment for?

  • Oily or combination skin with breakouts
  • Acne of varying degrees, according to assessment and alongside medical follow-up when needed
  • Teenagers and adults dealing with acne
  • Adult acne, including in your thirties and forties
  • Skin affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), alongside suitable medical follow-up

Why acne comes back even after it seems to be gone

Acne is not a one-off event but an ongoing skin condition. Behind it is a whole chain of factors: sebaceous glands producing more oil than needed, dead skin cells that do not shed at the right pace and block the opening of the follicle, bacteria that multiply in that blocked environment, and the body's inflammatory response, which creates the redness and tenderness you see and feel.

A treatment that focuses only on the visible spot treats the outward sign but not necessarily the factors that let new spots appear. That is why the skin can look clear after a single treatment and return to a similar state later on.

In the clinic I address several parts of that cycle over time: clearing suitable blockages, calming the skin, helping manage excess oil and supporting the skin's protective barrier. The plan is reviewed from visit to visit rather than treated as a one-off solution.

What actually happens during the treatment

Every treatment opens with an assessment of the skin on that day. Acne-prone skin changes from week to week, with the hormonal cycle, the season, stress, medication and skincare habits, so the treatment given at the previous visit is not necessarily right for this one.

Then comes deep, controlled cleansing. Working incorrectly on an inflamed area can increase irritation and leave marks, so I work slowly and only where the skin is ready to be cleared that day. What is not yet ready, I do not touch.

After that, professional-strength active ingredients are applied to calm inflammation and regulate oil production, followed by a soothing and protective layer. The treatment should not leave the skin burning or peeling. Acne-prone skin is already inflamed, and an overly aggressive treatment makes it worse rather than calmer.

  • Assessing the skin and adapting the treatment to that day
  • Controlled deep cleansing designed to avoid unnecessary irritation
  • Calming inflammation and redness
  • Helping manage excess oil
  • Restoring the skin's protective barrier
  • Building a home routine that supports the result

Adult acne and hormonal acne

One of the most common misconceptions is that acne ends with adolescence. In practice, a large share of the women who come to me are in their thirties and forties and are dealing with breakouts for the first time, or again after years.

Adult acne behaves differently: it tends to concentrate along the jawline, the chin and the neck, it often follows the monthly cycle, and the surrounding skin is no longer oily and resilient as it was at 17 but usually drier and more sensitive. A treatment suited to a 16-year-old can simply dry out and irritate skin like that.

Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also directly affect the appearance of the skin. I do not diagnose or treat the hormonal condition itself, which is the job of your doctor, but I adapt the cosmetic treatment to that reality and tell you honestly when I think it is worth getting checked in parallel.

Preventing scars and marks, the part that is easy to miss

After a spot heals, a dark mark, redness or a depression in the skin can remain. Prolonged inflammation and squeezing at home raise the risk of such marks, so prevention is an inseparable part of acne treatment.

Part of our work together is therefore about what does not happen at home. I know how hard it is not to touch the skin, and I do not lecture, but picking can prolong inflammation and increase the chance of persistent marks.

Sun protection is the other side of the same coin. Sun exposure darkens existing marks and significantly lengthens the time they take to fade, and in our coastal area that is relevant almost all year round.

How many treatments are needed and what to expect

The honest answer is that it depends on the starting point and on how the skin responds. Some clients need only occasional support, while more widespread inflammatory acne may call for a longer plan alongside medical follow-up when appropriate.

I can commit to an orderly process, to follow-up and to adapting the treatment to how the skin responds. I cannot promise completely clear skin within a set time. If after several sessions there is not enough progress, I will tell you and, where needed, recommend consulting a dermatologist.

Acne treatment in Netanya, where it takes place

The clinic is at 25 Yehuda Halevi Street in Netanya, where I have worked since 1991. Every treatment is personal and by appointment, in a quiet and discreet setting, which matters especially when the look of the skin causes discomfort.

Besides residents of Netanya, women also come to me from Herzliya, Kfar Saba, Ra'anana, Hod HaSharon and Hadera, mostly for acne treatments that require continuity and support over time. If you are wondering whether the distance is worthwhile, you can call first. I will gladly tell you honestly whether what you are looking for suits treatment with me.

To book an appointment or for a short consultation beforehand, send a WhatsApp message and I will get back to you.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers about the treatment

Is the treatment suitable for all degrees of acne?
The treatment can suit different situations, from a few spots to inflammatory acne, and it is re-planned at every visit according to the skin. With widespread, painful or scarring acne it is important to combine assessment and follow-up by a dermatologist. Cosmetic treatment does not replace medical treatment.
How many treatments are needed to see a change?
There is no responsible fixed number without first seeing the skin. The plan depends on the type and extent of the breakouts, the skin's response and whether medical follow-up is also needed. Progress is reviewed between appointments.
Does the treatment hurt or leave marks the next day?
The deep cleansing can be felt, especially in inflamed areas, but it is done slowly and only where the skin is ready. Mild redness for a few hours is normal. The treatment should not leave the skin burning or peeling. Acne-prone skin is already inflamed, and an overly aggressive treatment only makes it worse.
Is the treatment suitable for teenagers?
Absolutely, and teenagers are a significant share of those who come to me. It is worth knowing that adult acne behaves differently from teenage acne. It tends to concentrate along the jawline and chin and the surrounding skin is usually drier and more sensitive, so the treatment differs between the two.
I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Does that change anything?
Yes. A hormonal condition directly affects the skin and I adapt the treatment accordingly. I do not diagnose or treat the hormonal condition itself, which is the job of your doctor, but I will tell you honestly if I think it is worth getting checked in parallel.
Where is the clinic and where do your clients come from?
The clinic is at 25 Yehuda Halevi Street in Netanya, where I have worked since 1991. Besides residents of Netanya, women come to me from Herzliya, Kfar Saba, Ra'anana, Hod HaSharon and Hadera. Treatments are by appointment only, so there is no waiting.

Nice to meet you

Lisa Vinokur, professional beauty therapist

I moved from Uruguay to Israel on my own at the age of 16, bringing with me determination, curiosity and a love of aesthetics that remains part of my work today.

I qualified as a beauty therapist in 1991 and have continued to study and update my professional knowledge ever since. Every appointment begins with listening and a careful look at the skin rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

My studies in natural medicine help me consider skincare in a wider context. They do not replace medical diagnosis or treatment, and I refer clients to a doctor whenever that is the responsible choice.
