Acne Breakouts

Acne breakouts can affect people of all ages. Dead skin cells, excess sebum production, and clogged pores can create an ideal environment for p.acnes bacteria to thrive, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Effective treatment of acne must be personalized and multi-faceted, targeting the underlying causes of breakouts with a combination of professional treatments and medical-grade skincare. Our treatment plan comprises peels, facials, and medical-grade skincare.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a professional exfoliating treatment that can help treat acne by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. During a chemical peel, a solution containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or other chemical compounds is applied to the skin, causing the outer layers of skin to peel away, which unclogs the pores and removes dead skin cells. Furthermore, chemical peels control oil production and reduce the severity of active breakouts, making them a valuable tool in treating acne.

Facials

Facials can improve the overall health and appearance of the skin and act as an acne treatment in Scottsdale. They typically involve a combination of cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, customized to meet the specific needs of the individual’s skin type and concerns. Facials can treat acne and reduce breakouts by removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and regulating oil production.

Additionally, some facials may include salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which can kill the p.acnes bacteria and minimize the risk of future acne breakouts.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical-grade skincare products are formulated with high-quality, clinically-proven ingredients that can improve a variety of skin concerns, including acne. Medical-grade skincare products for acne may include ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids, which work to unclog pores, regulate oil production, and reduce inflammation. Using medical-grade skincare products as part of a daily skincare routine can help prevent breakouts, reduce the severity of active acne, and promote a clearer, healthier complexion.

Acne Scarring

Acne scars are a common concern for individuals suffering from acne breakouts and may require acne treatment in Scottsdale. These scars appear as depressions or raised bumps on the skin and may be red, brown, or purple. As we age, the natural loss of collagen in the skin can slow the healing process, making it more difficult for the skin to repair itself after a breakout. This can lead to the formation of more noticeable and persistent acne scars. We offer treatments to boost collagen production and stimulate natural healing.

IPL Photofacial

IPL Photofacial, or intense pulsed light therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity light to improve the appearance of skin imperfections, including acne. During an IPL photofacial, a handheld device emits a broad spectrum of light penetrating the skin’s surface, targeting the underlying pigment in acne scars and blemishes. This process encourages collagen production and cellular turnover, helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve overall skin texture.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a handheld device equipped with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production to repair and rejuvenate the skin. During this type of acne treatment in Scottsdale, microneedling can reduce the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections, while improving overall skin texture and tone.

RF Microneedling

RF (radiofrequency) microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and promote skin healing. During the treatment, a device equipped with tiny needles and RF energy creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of acne scars. The RF energy also tightens and firms the skin, improving overall texture and tone.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses a focused beam of light to remove the outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars. During the treatment, the laser creates controlled damage to the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting the growth of new, healthy tissue.

This process also improves overall skin tone. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results as part of acne treatment in Scottsdale.

Acne Treatment FAQs

What products are best to treat acne?

Medical-grade skincare products specifically designed for acne contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids. These ingredients unclog pores, regulate oil, and reduce inflammation, thus addressing the root causes of acne breakouts. As such, you must consult a healthcare provider to receive medical-grade acne products to prevent breakouts.

How often should I wash my face if I have oily skin?

If you have oily skin, you should cleanse your face twice daily. Over-cleansing can strip away essential oils, triggering your skin to produce even more oil, potentially exacerbating the issue. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh scrubbing to maintain a healthy complexion while keeping excess oil in check.

Can wearing makeup affect my acne?

Makeup can worsen acne if it’s comedogenic or not removed properly. Comedogenic or heavy makeup can clog pores, leading to acne breakouts. When applying makeup, choose non-comedogenic, oil-free products and ensure thorough makeup removal. Additionally, allow your skin occasional makeup-free periods to promote better skin health and reduce acne flare-ups.

Can I wear makeup after acne treatment?

After acne treatment in Scottsdale, please opt for makeup labeled as non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. This helps prevent pore clogging and skin irritation, promoting the healing process. However, for optimal results, allow your skin some makeup-free days to breathe and recover.

Can acne be a sign of underlying health issues?

Sometimes, persistent or severe acne can signal underlying health problems. Hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other conditions might contribute to acne development. Please consult a medical provider to determine if your acne might be caused by underlying health issues.

Does sun exposure have a correlation with acne?

Sun exposure can improve acne by drying out excess oil and reducing inflammation. However, long-term sun exposure can lead to skin damage, thickening of the outer layer, and clogged pores, exacerbating acne. It’s essential to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent the potential worsening of acne over time.
