Also, some wonderful anti-wrinkle serums are available now, substitutes for botox. Going to a facials spa–like facelogic for example–also encourages discipline and routine for minor acne treatments.

I did want to comment on this just because I have had acne problems in the past and am currently seeing a dermatologist. I have also gone and done the facial thing as well. Truthfully I have learned a lot from both. My aesthetician was awesome and she helped me with the routine thing and what I should do for my face and I have to admit that whenever I left her I always felt beautiful and pampered. More of a treat kind of thing. My dermatologist has had me on the clindamyacin, Differin, Retin-A and the Accutane. I still have problems but honestly not as much as I use to and I would recommend a combination of both just depends on your needs and what you want accomplished.

My acne issue was *best* managed through an esthetician...deeper exfoliation and extractions were best done by her (I had both deep blackheads, as well as large painful cysts!), massage felt great and reduced stress and lines that showed on my face, and I got several great tips on skin care and acne prevention in general. Acne is a disease for which there's no cure, but learning how to effectively manage it from a true skin care professional definitely helps. BTW, docs also put me on tetracycline, doxycycline, Retin-A, and Differin...helped in the short run, but got yeast infections and irritated skin after a while. For me, it wasn't worth it!

Going to an aesthetician doesn't. As a general rule, going to a doctor works. Going to an aesthetician doesn’t.
