What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin concern that develops when pores become blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells, bacteria, and buildup on the skin. This can result in blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, pimples, inflamed breakouts, and ongoing congestion. Acne can appear on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and back, and may affect clients at many different stages of life.
Although acne is often associated with teenage skin, adult acne is also very common. Breakouts may be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle habits, skin care products, environmental factors, or changes in the skin over time. Since acne can look different from person to person, a customized treatment plan can help address your specific skin concerns more effectively.
What Causes Acne?
Acne can develop when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, bacteria, and buildup on the skin. When this blockage occurs, it can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, inflamed breakouts, and ongoing congestion.
Several factors may contribute to acne, including hormonal changes, stress, genetics, lifestyle habits, certain skin care or makeup products, and environmental factors. Acne can also be influenced by changes in oil production and how quickly the skin naturally sheds dead skin cells.
Because acne can have more than one cause, it often looks different from person to person. Some clients may experience occasional breakouts, while others may struggle with recurring congestion, inflamed blemishes, or deeper cystic acne. A professional skin consultation can help identify possible contributing factors and create a customized treatment plan for your skin.
-
Excess Oil Production: Overactive oil glands can produce excess sebum, which may clog pores and contribute to breakouts.
Dead Skin Cell Buildup: When dead skin cells do not shed properly, they can mix with oil and become trapped in the pores.
Bacteria: Acne-related bacteria can contribute to inflammation, redness, and blemishes.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or adulthood may trigger acne for some clients.
Lifestyle and Environmental Factors: Stress, certain skin care products, makeup, humidity, and diet may influence breakouts depending on the individual.
Acne Treatments at DermaEnvy
-
Professional acne facials are designed to deeply cleanse the skin, reduce congestion, support extractions when appropriate, and improve the appearance of oily or breakout-prone skin. These treatments can be helpful for clients experiencing clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and general congestion.
Acne facials may include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, treatment masks, calming products, and customized finishing products based on your skin type.
Best for: Congestion, clogged pores, oily skin, blackheads, whiteheads, and routine acne maintenance.
-
Clinical chemical peels help exfoliate the surface of the skin and support clearer, smoother-looking skin over time. Depending on the type of peel used, chemical peels may help reduce clogged pores, improve uneven tone, refine texture, and support the appearance of brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Chemical peels can be a good option for clients dealing with breakouts, post-acne marks, dullness, uneven texture, or congestion.
Best for: Acne-prone skin, post-acne marks, uneven tone, clogged pores, and texture concerns.
-
LED blue light therapy is commonly used as part of acne-focused treatment plans. Blue light is often recommended for acne-prone skin because it helps target breakout-related bacteria while supporting a calmer-looking complexion.
LED therapy is gentle, non-invasive, and may be used on its own or as an add-on to acne facials and other skin treatments.
Best for: Acne-prone skin, inflamed-looking breakouts, and clients looking for a gentle acne support treatment.
-
IPL skin rejuvenation may be recommended for clients experiencing post-acne redness, uneven tone, or visible discoloration after breakouts. IPL uses light-based technology to target concerns such as redness, pigmentation, and overall skin clarity.
This treatment is typically better suited for post-acne marks and uneven tone rather than active inflamed acne.
Best for: Post-acne redness, uneven skin tone, discoloration, and overall skin clarity.
-
Microneedling is often recommended for clients who are no longer dealing with active inflamed acne but want to improve the appearance of acne scars, uneven texture, or enlarged pores. This treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to support the skin’s natural repair process and collagen production over time.
Microneedling is generally not performed over active inflamed breakouts, but it may be part of a long-term treatment plan once acne is under better control.
Best for: Acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and post-acne skin refinement.
Active Acne vs. Acne Scars
Active acne and acne scars often require different treatment approaches.
Active acne treatment usually focuses on reducing congestion, calming the appearance of inflammation, supporting clearer pores, and improving skin balance. This may include acne facials, chemical peels, LED blue light therapy, and professional home care.
Acne scar treatment focuses more on improving the look of texture, indentations, uneven skin surface, and post-acne marks. Depending on your skin, treatments such as microneedling, fractional skin resurfacing, chemical peels, or IPL skin rejuvenation may be recommended.
If you are unsure whether you are dealing with active acne, acne scarring, or both, a complimentary consultation can help determine the best treatment path.
As seasoned medical aestheticians, we don't just treat the symptom; we target the root cause and work to maintain healthy, clear skin.
