Blemish-prone skin is a common client concern. From younger clients experiencing congestion and excess oil to adults noticing blemishes during hormonal changes or menopause, many people are looking for professional treatments that support clearer, fresher-looking skin.
SkinBase Treatments for Blemish-Prone Skin
At SkinBase, we offer a variety of professional machines so you can provide suitable treatment options for clients with blemish-prone skin. The best treatments often focus on deep cleansing the skin, refreshing congested-looking pores, supporting a more balanced-looking complexion and improving the appearance of uneven texture. Let’s take a look at the best SkinBase treatments for clients with blemish-prone skin.


Microdermabrasion for Blemish-Prone Skin
SkinBase Microdermabrasion is a professional exfoliating facial treatment that can be a great choice for dull, congested or blemish-prone skin. During the treatment, fine crystals are directed across the skin to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells. The used crystals and surface debris are removed from the skin with a vacuum action, leaving the skin feeling cleaner and refreshed.
Microdermabrasion Benefits
For clients with blemish-prone skin, Microdermabrasion can help by:
- Removing dead skin cell build-up that may contribute to clogged-looking pores
- Refreshing congested-looking skin
- Supporting a smoother-looking skin texture
- Improving the appearance of post-blemish marks over a course of treatments
- Leaving the complexion looking brighter and more refined
Microdermabrasion is also a popular choice for clients concerned about visible pores, dullness and uneven texture. As with all professional treatments, therapists should assess the skin first and avoid treating areas of broken or irritated skin.

SkinBase 2 Week Free Trial
The best thing about partnering with SkinBase is you get a 2-week free trial to try it out in your business. You can buy the machine outright or take advantage of our PAYG system.

SkinBase Hydro for Blemish-Prone Skin
SkinBase Hydro is a versatile, non-invasive facial treatment designed to support healthy, refreshed-looking skin. The treatment begins with a Hydro peel containing AHAs and BHAs to exfoliate the skin and prepare it for the serum infusion. This makes Hydro a great option for clients who want their skin to look cleaner, brighter and more balanced.
Hydro Clarifying Serum
For blemish-prone or oily skin types, the SkinBase Hydro Clarifying Serum is an ideal choice. It contains ingredients selected to support a fresher-looking complexion, refine the appearance of pores and help skin look calmer and more balanced. For example:
- Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties to restore and renew acne-prone skin.
- Barosma Betulina Leaf Extract help to refine pores.
Our MDPro system focuses on promoting skin health. You can pay the same weekly minimum as the MD machine, and we have 2 other serums with active ingredients for other skin concerns available.
IPL for Blemish-Prone Skin
SkinBase IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a light-based professional treatment that can be used to improve the overall appearance of the skin. For suitable clients with blemish-prone skin, IPL may help support a clearer-looking complexion as part of a professional treatment plan. It can also help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and post-blemish marks, while supporting collagen production for skin that looks smoother and more youthful.
SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light Machine
Our machines have two handsets. The first delivers the IPL pulses and the second is a cryo-cooling handset to cool the skin. This means you can use higher power levels without your clients feeling discomfort. The machine also works out the most effective setting for each client – so you can get the best possible results.

Choosing the Best Treatment for Blemish-Prone Skin
The best treatment for blemish-prone skin will depend on the client’s skin type, current skin condition, skin goals and treatment history.
The Best SkinBase Treatments for Blemish-Prone Skin
As a guide:
- Choose Microdermabrasion for clients with dull, congested skin and uneven texture.
- Choose Hydro for clients who want exfoliation, hydration and a refreshed glow.
- Choose IPL for suitable clients concerned with blemishes, visible redness or uneven skin tone, who may not want exfoliation.
