via Google I don’t usually write long reviews, but Mirsada at Acne Treatment SF truly changed my life, and I want to share my full acne journey for anyone who feels like they’ve tried everything and is close to giving up.
Age 16 (High School):
I first started getting painful cystic acne when I was 16. Not just the occasional breakout, but deep, inflamed cysts that hurt to the touch and lingered for weeks. At that age, it immediately affected my confidence and how I saw myself.
Late teens / Early college:
Like many people, I went the traditional medical route. I was prescribed birth control in hopes that it would “balance my hormones” and fix my skin. It didn’t. Later, in college, I was put on antibiotics for about five months straight. While it slightly calmed my acne temporarily, it completely destroyed my stomach and gut health. As soon as I stopped the antibiotics, the acne came right back — sometimes worse.
Early–mid 20s:
Over the years, I saw multiple dermatologists and tried what felt like everything:
• Spironolactone
• Different prescription topicals
• Countless supplements
• Diet changes
• “Miracle” products and routines
Nothing ever addressed the root of the issue. At best, things would improve briefly, and then I’d be right back where I started. My acne was extremely painful, unpredictable, and exhausting to manage.
By this point, my confidence was incredibly low. My acne took up so much mental space — constantly checking mirrors, worrying about flare-ups, canceling plans, and thinking about my skin from the moment I woke up to when I went to bed. After nearly a decade of trying to fix it with no lasting results, I honestly started to give up. It got so bad that I was almost ignoring it because I didn’t know what else to do.
August — Finding Mirsada:
In August, I found Mirsada at Acne Treatment SF, and that’s when everything changed. From the very beginning, I was introduced to a holistic approach to acne — one that actually acknowledges how interconnected everything is: skin, gut, lifestyle, stress, and habits.
Mirsada doesn’t just want short-term improvements — she wants real results. The regimen can feel intense at first because it’s thorough and intentional, but it’s clear that every step has a purpose. She is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and invested in your progress.
I’ll say this: you do have to show up, be a good student, and trust the process. But if you do, it works.
After 8 treatments:
After 8 treatments with Mirsada, I no longer get cystic pimples. That alone still feels surreal to say after living with them for so long. We’re now focusing on reducing scarring over the next few treatments, which feels like the final chapter of a journey I never thought I’d finish.
Where I am now:
My confidence has improved significantly. I no longer spend all my mental energy worrying about breakouts, and I’ve been able to open up space in my mind to focus on other parts of my life. That alone is priceless.
If you’ve been dealing with acne for years, feel defeated, or think you’ve “tried everything,” I cannot recommend Mirsada enough. She is truly different, and Acne Treatment SF is worth every bit of commitment it asks of you.

Jodie Foremanvia Google I'm sure Mirsada's treatment is great for acne. She believed that her exfoliation treatment would also be good for my Roseacea, however it's the opposite of what Rosacea needs, so it made it worse.
Her products for acne are beautiful quality though. The lemon cleanser in particular smells divine.
She definitely cares a lot and would be great for the right condition.

AJB B.via Google Mirsada is a miracle worker! I went in on a Wednesday for a deep cleaning facial & extractions because I had an annoying break out on my left cheek that had been brewing for weeks but would not go away. She told me that the pimples weren’t ready and on the surface enough to do the extraction. She sent me home with products to use for the next five days. When I went back on Monday, she gave me a facial. The photos speak for themselves these pictures were taken less than 24 hours apart. I will be going back every 2 months for a facial.

Margaryta Chaykavia Google My daughter came in to see this cosmetologist a year ago because my her face suddenly exploded with acne. At the time, my daughter just turned 14. We didn’t know where to go and what to do. She was using over the counter treatments and I was doing a lot of online research to understand what our options were. We randomly found this cosmetologist on google maps and, back then, she had only 15 reviews and 5 stars. I decided to give it a shot. We came to see her and very quickly realized it’s a $$$$ service. Nonetheless, we did everything she wanted us to do: followed her diet regiment, bought and used her natural masks for morning and evening, and came in to get my daughter’s face cleaned for about 5 week in a row. It’s the most incredible thing - it worked! My daughter no longer has acne and does not require any more treatments, but we still follow the diet (I got on it, as well, because it appears to be working as an anti-aging diet). We cannot express the level of gratitude we have for all the services offered by this cosmetologist and for her developed method. She knows what she is doing. Would recommend her to anyone who is in our position.

R Lvia Google Mirsada is absolutely AMAZING! This woman's skill and knowledge about skin is honestly next level! I see Mirsada every few months to get a thorough cleaning for my face. Her facials always leave my skin feeling great! She really takes the time to get all the gunk out of my pores and leave my skin feeling plump and hydrated.
Since I have had great success with Mirsada, I decided to bring my 14 year old daughter to her. Since she is going through puberty, her acne flares up on both her face and back. I know how much acne can affect a person's confidence and I didn't want that to happen to my daughter. Mirsada did an incredible job!! After three treatments on both her face and back, Mirsada said she didn't need to come back again! Wow! I was not expecting that! All my daughter has to do now is maintain her daily cleaning regimen that Mirsada set her up with. Her skin looks awesome and I'm so grateful that Mirsada was able to help her.
Mirsada was also kind and generous enough to create a special facial wash for my 13 year old daughter since she is just entering puberty. She is always hesitant to try new products because she has eczema and is highly sensitive to ingredients. She developed PTSD from trying new products that really irritated her skin and caused a lot of inflammation on her face and neck. Mirsada's products worked so well that my daughter is totally in love with how her skin looks now!
Mirsada is truly a godsend from the skin gods! If you have issues with acne, look no further! Mirsada from Acne Treatment SF will be able to help you!
