What Causes Acne-Prone Skin?

Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation, breakouts, and in some cases, ongoing sensitivity. Hormonal fluctuations, genetics, stress, and certain skin care products can all contribute to how prone your skin is to breakouts. Acne-prone skin often continues to flare periodically into adulthood, and many patients find that over-the-counter products alone are not enough to keep breakouts consistently under control. A combination of professional treatments and a tailored at-home routine is often the most effective way to manage acne-prone skin long term.

Treatments for Acne-Prone Skin

Our practice offers a range of non-surgical treatments that can be customized and combined to help manage acne-prone skin and support a clearer complexion.

Broad Band Light Therapy (BBL)

BBL uses targeted light energy to reduce inflammation, calm redness, and target the bacteria associated with active breakouts. This treatment can also help even out skin tone left behind by past breakouts, making it a popular option for patients dealing with both active acne and lingering discoloration. Sessions are typically quick, with minimal downtime required afterward.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layers of skin, helping clear clogged pores, reduce oil buildup, and encourage healthier cell turnover. Peels can be customized in strength depending on how active your breakouts are and how your skin tolerates treatment, making them a flexible option for many patients. 
Regular peels are often incorporated into an ongoing acne management routine for cumulative improvement.

Cool Peel

Cool Peel is a gentler resurfacing treatment that improves overall skin clarity and texture with little to no downtime. Because it is milder than traditional peels, Cool Peel can be a good starting point for patients with more sensitive, reactive, or easily irritated acne-prone skin who still want consistent improvement over time.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction in a single soothing treatment, helping clear congested pores and hydrate the skin without irritation. This treatment is gentle enough for regular maintenance, making it a popular option for patients who want to keep breakouts under control between more intensive treatments.

Custom Facials

Our custom facials are tailored to your skin's specific needs at the time of your visit, whether that means calming an active flare-up or supporting long-term maintenance. Using professional-grade products and techniques, these facials work to clear congestion and support a healthier skin barrier.

Medical-Grade Skin Care

A consistent, well-formulated at-home routine plays a major role in managing acne-prone skin between in-office visits. Our team can build a customized medical-grade regimen using ingredients proven to control oil, reduce breakouts, and support healing, helping extend the results of your professional treatments.

SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. For acne-prone patients, SkinPen is especially helpful for smoothing the textured skin and scarring that breakouts can leave behind, while also refining pores and improving overall skin quality.

Because microneedling works best on calm skin, our team typically recommends SkinPen once active breakouts are under control, often as part of a combined plan with treatments like BBL or chemical peels. Most patients experience mild redness for a day or two, with results that continue to improve over a series of sessions.

Acne-Prone Frequently Asked Questions

Will these treatments work for adult acne, not just teenage breakouts?

Yes, many of our treatments are specifically effective for adult acne, which is often influenced by hormones, stress, or skin care habits rather than the same causes seen in adolescence.

How long before I see improvement in my skin?

Many patients notice some improvement within a few weeks, though consistent treatment over a few months typically produces the most significant and lasting results.

Can these treatments help with acne scarring too?

Some treatments, like chemical peels and BBL, can improve mild discoloration left behind by past breakouts. More significant acne scarring is typically addressed through our dedicated acne scar treatments.

Will treatment make my skin more sensitive or irritated at first?

Some mild redness or flaking can occur after certain treatments, particularly chemical peels. Your provider will recommend a treatment intensity appropriate for your skin's current sensitivity.

Do I need to stop using my current skin care products?

Your provider will review your current routine during consultation and may recommend adjustments to ensure your at-home products support, rather than counteract, your in-office treatments.

How often will I need treatment to keep breakouts under control?

This varies by treatment and individual skin, but many patients benefit from regular sessions every four to six weeks alongside a consistent daily skin care routine.
