Acne Treatment

Skin rituals

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, from teenagers to adults. It appears in the form of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts, often on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. While mild acne may be manageable with over-the-counter products, more persistent or severe cases require professional treatment to prevent scarring and achieve clear skin. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer personalized acne treatment plans to effectively target the root causes of acne and restore your skin’s health and radiance.

What Causes Acne?

 

Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This results in inflammation, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts. Several factors can contribute to acne, including:

  • Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can trigger excess oil production.

  • Genetics: If acne runs in your family, you may be more prone to developing it.

  • Stress: High levels of stress can increase hormone production, leading to more frequent breakouts.

  • Diet: Certain foods, particularly those high in sugar and dairy, can contribute to acne in some individuals.

  • Improper Skincare Products: Using heavy, oil-based products or harsh cleansers can clog pores and worsen acne.

Treatment Options for Acne:

 

1) Chemical Peels

  • How It Works: Chemical peels use acids like salicylic or glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin’s surface, unclog pores, and reduce acne breakouts. Peels also help improve skin texture and tone by encouraging the growth of new skin cells.

  • Benefits: Chemical peels are highly effective for mild to moderate acne and can reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) caused by acne.

2) Laser Acne Treatment

  • How It Works: Laser therapy targets the sebaceous glands in the skin, reducing oil production and killing acne-causing bacteria. It also helps reduce inflammation and speeds up the healing of active acne.

  • Benefits: Laser treatment is ideal for treating moderate to severe acne, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

3) Microneedling for Acne Scars

  • How It Works: Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the skin to heal. It is particularly effective for treating acne scars, improving skin texture, and reducing pore size.

  • Benefits: Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars while promoting overall skin rejuvenation.

4) Topical and Oral Medications

  • How It Works: For more severe acne, we may prescribe topical treatments like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and fight bacteria. In some cases, oral medications such as antibiotics or hormonal treatments (like birth control pills or spironolactone) may be recommended.

  • Benefits: Medications can be used to manage acne over the long term and prevent future breakouts.

5) Hydrafacial for Acne

  • How It Works: The Hydrafacial treatment deeply cleanses and exfoliates the skin, while a vacuum device extracts impurities and clogged pores. The final step involves infusing the skin with hydrating serums and antioxidants to promote healing.

  • Benefits: Hydrafacial is gentle, non-invasive, and ideal for treating and preventing mild to moderate acne while leaving the skin clear and hydrated.

6) Cortisone Injections for Cystic Acne

  • How It Works: For cystic acne, cortisone injections can be used to reduce inflammation and shrink large, painful cysts. This treatment provides rapid relief and helps prevent scarring.

  • Benefits: Immediate reduction of cyst size and discomfort, with results visible within 24 to 48 hours.
