Male esthetician

Can I get a facial from a male. There is also a female technician but she does not do as good of a job of treating acne.
This is done at a dermatologist office and is billed to insurance as a medial procedure of sorts.

If the procedure itself is done for medical reasons, then we go to the expert regardless of gender. If it’s just for aesthetics, then only the same gender should be used.

Is acne considered medical or aesthetic? Is there a difference for girls and boys (thinking about how should do what’s necessary to prevent facial scarring on Shabbos for girls but not boys according to some poskim)?

Medical, no difference boys and girls.
