What it is
The unglamorous half of good skin
A medical facial is a clinical protocol, not an hour of pleasant massage. Deep cleansing, controlled exfoliation, extraction where it’s needed, and hydration chosen for what your skin is actually doing that month.
The difference from a spa facial is what’s allowed in the room. Medical-grade actives at strengths that require supervision. Extraction performed properly, by someone trained to know when to stop. And a decision, before anything starts, about whether your barrier can take it — because a facial on compromised skin makes things worse, not better.
It’s also the least glamorous treatment we offer and the one that changes the most for the least money. Injectables and devices work on structure; a facial works on the surface that everyone actually sees. Skin that’s congested, dull and flaking will look congested, dull and flaking regardless of what sits underneath it.
Most patients use facials as a rhythm rather than an event — every three or four weeks, tracking the skin cycle — and layer the bigger treatments on top when the surface is calm enough to take them.
What it treats
The surface, area by area
A facial is adjusted every time, because skin changes month to month. Filter by what you actually see in the mirror today.
Filter by what you want to change — or come in and let us look. Skin behaves differently in the wet and dry seasons, and the protocol should follow it.
Blackheads and clogged pores
Softened, then extracted properly rather than squeezed. Done well it’s uncomfortable for a minute and clear for weeks; done badly it scars. This is the part that most justifies a clinical setting.
Nose, chin & T-zone
Active spots and closed comedones
Calming and decongesting rather than aggressive. Active inflammation limits what we can safely do, so some sessions do less on purpose — and say so before you’re on the bed.
Assessed on the day
Shine and oily T-zone
Regulating rather than stripping. Skin that’s been over-cleansed produces more oil, not less, and that cycle is one of the most common things we unpick here.
Forehead, nose & chin
Dull, tired-looking skin
Removing the dead surface layer is most of what “glow” means. It’s also why the result is visible on the day, unlike almost everything else we offer.
Full face
Rough, uneven surface
Flaking, patchy foundation, makeup catching in ridges. Controlled exfoliation smooths it; deeper texture and post-acne marks need peeling alongside.
Full face
Tight, sensitised, over-treated skin
Skin stripped by too many actives, too much sun or too much exfoliation. The protocol here is repair and nothing else — no extraction, no acids, and we’ll tell you to stop half your routine.
Repair-first session
Sunscreen, sweat and salt build-up
Daily SPF plus humidity plus sea water is a congestion pattern we see constantly here and rarely elsewhere. It responds fast to a proper cleanse and a routine adjustment.
Most common here
Under-eye and periorbital
Soothed and brightened with gentler product and no extraction. Thin skin needs a different hand — the same protocol used on a T-zone will irritate it.
Included in most protocols
Neck and jawline
Frequently skipped, and the first place a rushed facial gives itself away. Congestion along the jaw is common in anyone wearing a helmet in this heat.
Included as standard
A facial first is usually the cheaper answer
Plenty of people arrive asking about boosters or lasers when their skin is simply congested and dehydrated. A facial and a routine correction costs a fraction of an injectable, and if it turns out to be enough we’ll tell you rather than book the bigger thing. If it isn’t, at least the surface is calm enough to treat properly.
Ask on WhatsAppProtocols are adjusted at every visit. What we do on the day depends on barrier condition, active breakouts, recent sun exposure and what else you’ve had treated — which is why a facial here isn’t sold as a fixed named package.
Pricing
Facial prices in Bali
Medical facials at Aeconic start from IDR 750,000 per treatment, and run 60 to 120 minutes depending on what your skin needs. The price is for the treatment, not for a product bundle you’re steered toward afterwards.
One session, 60 to 120 minutes, protocol matched to your skin on the day. The most affordable treatment in the clinic and the best first appointment for most people.
Skin renews on roughly a monthly cycle, so that’s the interval that holds a result. We’d rather you came monthly than bought a course you feel obliged to use up.
Facials sequence well with peeling from IDR 150,000 per cc and with injectables — though not on the same day. Combinations are quoted as a plan.
Prices are in Indonesian Rupiah and confirmed before treatment starts. Nothing is added mid-treatment, and you are never asked to commit to a package on a first visit. If your skin isn’t in a state to be treated that day, we’ll say so and reschedule rather than proceed.
Who sets the protocol
A facial can make skin worse. That’s why it’s supervised.
Facial protocols at Aeconic are set within a doctor-led clinic under Dr. Connie Calista Tham, and adjusted to your skin rather than run from a fixed script.
Most people think of a facial as harmless. It isn’t, quite. Extraction on inflamed skin spreads it. Acids on a compromised barrier burn. A brightening protocol on skin that’s had three beach days can trigger the exact pigmentation you’re trying to fade. The judgement is knowing when to do less — and that’s a clinical decision, not a service decision.
It also means we look at your routine. A significant share of the congestion, sensitivity and breakouts we see here comes from products, not from skin — usually too many actives, applied too often, in a climate that doesn’t forgive it. Fixing that is free, and we’ll do it before selling you anything.
If a facial isn’t what your skin needs, we’ll say so and point you at what is — sometimes peeling, sometimes a skin booster, sometimes a dermatologist for acne that needs medication rather than a treatment room.

The appointment
What happens, and when
Skin check
We look at barrier condition, active breakouts and recent sun exposure, and set the protocol from that. Occasionally the honest answer is to do less than you booked.
The treatment
Cleanse, exfoliation, extraction where indicated, treatment mask or serum, and hydration. Length depends on how much extraction the skin needs.
Visible result
Skin is cleaner, smoother and brighter walking out. Mild redness where extraction was performed settles within a few hours.
The next one
Skin renews on roughly a monthly cycle. Treating with that rhythm holds the result; treating twice a year doesn’t.
Timings are typical. Congested skin needs a longer first session, and occasionally a second appointment sooner than a month to get on top of it.
Before & aftercare
Protecting the result in a tropical climate
Freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV than it will be all month, and here that matters more than the treatment itself. So ours is written for Bali.
Before your facial
- Stop retinol, acids and exfoliants for 24 to 48 hours. Longer if your skin is reactive.
- No waxing, threading or hair removal on the area for 48 hours beforehand.
- Don’t come straight from a beach day. Sun-exposed skin can’t be exfoliated safely, and we’ll have to do less.
- Arrive with a clean face if you can — if not, we’ll cleanse for you.
- Tell us about any acne medication, recent peels, laser, injectables or isotretinoin. Several of these change what we can do.
- Book at least a week before an event if extraction is likely.
After your facial
- No makeup for 24 hours where extraction was performed.
- No sauna, steam, hot yoga or heavy sweating for 24 hours — sweat on freshly extracted skin is how it gets irritated.
- No sea, pool or surf for 24 hours. Salt and chlorine on open pores sting and congest.
- Hold retinol, acids, vitamin C and scrubs for 3 to 5 days. Bland moisturiser and sunscreen only.
- High-SPF sunscreen and a hat, reapplied. Your skin is more photosensitive than usual for several days.
- Don’t pick anything. If something surfaces in the days after, message us rather than dealing with it yourself.
- Leave a week either side of peels, laser or injectables in the same area.
Mild redness and occasional small breakouts in the days after a first deep cleanse are normal — congestion already present is being brought to the surface. It settles, and the next session is usually clearer.
Results
Before and after, unretouched
Photographed in the same light, at the same angle, with patient consent. Facial results show on the day — which is rare enough here to be worth saying.
Want to see a case like yours?
We keep a fuller archive in clinic, including congested and reactive skin treated across several cycles. Ask to see cases matched to your skin type during consultation.
Ask on WhatsAppIndividual results vary. Photographs are of real patients treated at Aeconic and are published with consent. Some results reflect a combined plan rather than facials alone. No treatment outcome is guaranteed; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
Facial or something else
Three treatments people ask for instead
A facial works on the surface. If the problem sits deeper — in the dermis, in oil production, or in pigment — something else does it better, and often alongside rather than instead.
Chemical peeling
Controlled exfoliation at a strength a facial can’t reach, for post-acne marks, congestion and uneven tone. Where a facial cleans the surface, a peel resurfaces it. Stepped up gradually, and never on the same day.
Skin peeling →Skin boosters
Hyaluronic acid injected into the dermis to rehydrate from within. A facial hydrates the surface for a few weeks; a booster changes how much water the skin holds for months. Dry, tight skin usually wants both.
Skin booster Bali →Meso Botox
Diluted toxin in the superficial skin that reduces sebum and pore size. If you’re back to shining and congested within a fortnight of every facial, the oil production itself is the problem.
Meso Botox →| Treatment | Works on | Best for | Rhythm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical facial | Skin surface | Congestion, dullness, extraction, hydration | Every 3 – 4 weeks |
| Chemical peeling | Epidermis | Post-acne marks, texture, uneven tone | Course, then monthly |
| Meso Botox | Superficial dermis | Oil, sweat and pore size | Every 2 – 3 months |
| Skin booster | Dermis | Dehydration and crepey fine lines | Course, then 4 – 6 months |
| Rejuran | Dermis | Repair, thin or reactive skin | Course, then 3 – 6 months |
Rhythms are typical guidance, not guarantees. Your plan is set at consultation. See also Rejuran and IV drips.
Visiting Bali
Timing a facial around your trip
This is the easiest treatment we offer to fit into a trip, and the one most worth doing while you’re here — because the climate is what congested your skin in the first place.
Not on arrival day, not on departure day. A facial two or three days in works best: your skin has adjusted to the humidity, and you still have days here to keep it out of the sun.
Don’t come straight from the beach. Sun-exposed skin can’t be exfoliated safely, and we’ll end up doing a fraction of what you booked. Come in the morning, swim tomorrow.
A week before events. Deep extraction can bring congestion to the surface for a day or two. If there’s a wedding, leave a clear week rather than booking the day before.
Living in Canggu? Monthly is the rhythm that actually works here. Daily SPF, sweat, sea and pool build up faster than skin clears it, and no home routine keeps pace on its own.

Questions
Before you book
Anything not covered here, message us — we answer WhatsApp during clinic hours, Monday to Saturday.
How much does a facial cost in Bali?
At Aeconic Clinic in Canggu, medical facials start from IDR 750,000 per treatment, running 60 to 120 minutes depending on what your skin needs — congested skin needs longer, because extraction takes time to do properly.
That’s the price of the treatment. There’s no product package at the till and no upsell chair. If your skin needs something other than a facial, we’ll tell you at the assessment rather than after you’ve paid.
What’s the difference between a medical facial and a spa facial?
Two things: what’s allowed in the room, and who decides. A medical facial uses medical-grade actives at strengths that require supervision, and includes real extraction performed by someone trained to know when to stop.
The bigger difference is the decision made before anything starts — whether your barrier can take a treatment at all. A spa facial is a service, so it happens. A clinical one is a protocol, so sometimes it changes, and occasionally we do less than you booked and say why.
How often should I have a facial?
Roughly every three to four weeks, which tracks the skin’s renewal cycle. That’s the interval that holds a result; two or three a year feels nice but doesn’t change much.
In Bali the case for a monthly rhythm is stronger than most places. Daily sunscreen, humidity, sweat, sea and pool water build up faster than skin clears them, and no home routine keeps pace on its own.
Will a facial make me break out?
Sometimes, after a first deep cleanse, and it’s not a failure. Congestion that was already sitting under the surface gets brought up — it settles within a few days and the next session is usually clearer.
What shouldn’t happen is a facial making inflamed skin worse. Extraction on actively inflamed spots spreads them, so on those days we do a calming protocol instead and tell you why before you’re on the bed.
Is there downtime?
None to speak of. Skin looks cleaner and brighter walking out, and mild redness where extraction was performed settles within a few hours. Most people go straight back to their day.
The restrictions are short but they matter here: no makeup for 24 hours after extraction, no sauna or heavy sweating for 24 hours, no sea or pool for 24 hours, hold your actives for three to five days, and wear sunscreen — freshly exfoliated skin burns more easily than usual.
Can I have a facial with acne, or while on acne medication?
With acne, usually yes, but the protocol changes — calming and decongesting rather than aggressive, and no extraction over actively inflamed lesions.
On medication, tell us what and for how long. Isotretinoin in particular makes skin fragile and rules out exfoliation and extraction for the course and for months afterwards. Severe or cystic acne needs medical treatment rather than a treatment room, and we’ll say so and refer you.
Can I have a facial while on holiday in Bali?
Yes — it’s the easiest treatment we offer to fit into a trip. Book two or three days in rather than on arrival or departure day, and come in the morning rather than straight from the beach: sun-exposed skin can’t be exfoliated safely.
Afterwards, no sea, pool, sauna or heavy sweating for 24 hours, and sunscreen reapplied properly for the rest of the trip. If there’s an event, leave a clear week in case extraction brings anything to the surface.
Where is Aeconic Clinic located and what are your opening hours?
Aeconic Clinic is at Jl. Subak Sari No. 30a, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali 80361 — in the Canggu–Berawa area, a few minutes from Batu Bolong and Berawa Beach. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 17:00, and closed on Sundays.
Appointments are booked through WhatsApp on +62 811 2503 3440, which is also the fastest way to check same-day availability. There’s on-site parking for cars and scooters, and we accept all payment types — though cashless is faster at checkout.
Guide
Choosing where to have a facial in Bali
Canggu has a facial on every corner, from beach-club spa rooms to clinics, at prices spanning a factor of ten. The gap isn’t the massage — it’s who is allowed to say no.
Ask who assesses your skin first
A facial should start with someone looking at your barrier, your breakouts and your recent sun exposure, then deciding what’s safe. If the protocol is fixed before anyone has seen your face, you’re buying a service rather than a treatment.
Ask about extraction
This is where facials go wrong. Done properly it takes time and stops before the skin is damaged. Done badly — squeezed, rushed, over an inflamed spot — it leaves marks that outlast the appointment by months. Ask how long is allowed for it and who performs it.
Ask what they’d refuse to do
Sunburnt skin, a compromised barrier, active cystic acne, recent isotretinoin, a peel last week — all reasons to change the protocol or reschedule. A room that treats everyone the same way regardless is optimising for the booking, not the skin.
Beware the product sell
An unusually cheap facial is often a loss leader for a homecare package. There’s nothing wrong with buying skincare, but the recommendation should come from your skin, not the till, and it shouldn’t arrive while you’re lying down with your face wrapped.
Ask whether they adjust for the climate
Skin here behaves differently. Sunscreen plus humidity plus salt water congests in a pattern you rarely see in a temperate climate, and freshly exfoliated skin faces UV the moment you walk out. A protocol imported unchanged from Jakarta or Sydney misses both.
Ask what happens between appointments
A monthly facial doesn’t work if your routine is undoing it in between. A good clinic will look at what you’re using and often tell you to use less — which costs them a product sale and saves your skin.
