What is Acne?
Acne occurs when pores are plugged with natural skin oils, dead skin cells, and environmental debris.
Clogged pores create an environment in which a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes can flourish, leading to the development of blemishes. Acne breakouts are commonly associated with the hormonal changes of adolescents, but they occur in people of all ages. Blemishes are often painful, red, and a source of embarrassment.
Chemical Peels
Regular mild chemical peels can be an effective way to prevent acne. Light chemical peels only affect the top layer of skin, helping control the dead skin cells that plug pores and lead to breakouts. Medium-level peels are also effective and can help smooth acne-damaged skin. At B + A Medical Aesthetics, we use ZO Skin Health, Skinbetter, and Revision products for the best results.
HydraFacial
Regular HydraFacial treatments can be extremely helpful in controlling acne. The three-step HydraFacial process involves cleansing, exfoliation, and infusion. This proprietary system vacuums out pores to remove dead skin cells and other debris, leaving your skin deeply and thoroughly cleansed. Following this step, custom-selected serums are infused into your skin.
IPL
IPL, or “intense pulsed light” treatments, can clear up active cases of acne and help prevent future breakouts. The procedure is performed with specific types of light energy delivered in short bursts to target and destroy the acne-causing bacteria. IPL treatments can help keep your skin healthy and smooth, with the added advantage of making acne scars less visible.
