Acne is often caused by excessive hormone production in young men and women. Testosterone is perhaps the biggest culprit for this common skin condition. It can also be related to an overproduction of sebum, which is an oil that’s naturally produced by skin cells. This substance causes blackheads, whiteheads, and other outbreaks in clogged pores. While this skin condition can be frustrating and embarrassing, you do not have to settle for skin that does not feel smooth and healthy. Our team proudly offers a variety of acne treatment options.
Hygiene and Healthy Habits
While it may seem like a no-brainer, a regular hygiene routine is a key first step in a good skincare routine! It’s important to take a shower immediately after intense exercise. The skin might become irritated and inflamed as it rubs against sweat and soaked textiles. If showering isn’t possible, it’s still important to replace sweaty clothing with dry apparel. However, synthetic materials could actually exacerbate acne and other skin problems. Cotton rarely causes any discomfort, but synthetic polyester poses some risks for irritation of the upper body and back.
If you are interested in enhancing your skincare routine, we offer a variety of carefully selected skincare products to cleanse and refresh your skin. These products can address a variety of concerns, leaving your skin looking its very best.
Exfoliating Treatments
Exfoliation is one of the most important habits to have for healthy skin. While it is recommended to use a gentle exfoliant at home a few times a week, seeking a deeply exfoliating treatment can be helpful to combat acne!
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are safe and effective treatment options to remove excess dead skin cells and unclog pores. Not only do these treatment options help reduce the appearance of acne, but they can be effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars!
IPL Treatments
IPL treatments, often called photofacials, use UV light to target and reduce bacteria of the skin. Acne can often be red or inflamed, and this FDA-approved treatment for this specific type of blemish.
