Acne is a common skin condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It usually appears on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders as spots or pimples. There are several different types of acne that range from mild to severe. The most common type of acne is called Acne Vulgaris which can cause blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed pustules or cysts.
The exact causes of acne are not known but it is thought to be due to changes in hormones, genetics and environmental factors. Hormonal imbalances such as those experienced during puberty can trigger an increase in sebum production which leads to clogged pores and breakout. Dead skin cells may also build up within the pores resulting in blackheads and whiteheads.
It is important to take the right steps to manage and treat acne for optimal results. Developing a good skincare routine that includes gentle cleansers, non-comedogenic moisturizers, sunscreens and exfoliants can help keep your skin looking healthy, clear and balanced. In addition to lifestyle changes, there are various treatments available for treating mild to moderate cases of acne. Skinfluence Medical Aesthetics is pleased to offer several treatments for acne and acne scarring.
The BHA Acne Peel by ALumierMD contains salicylic acid and lactic acid for excellent pore penetration and exfoliation. Salicylic acid penetrates into the pore and exfoliates dead skin cells and excess sebum. Lactic acid exfoliates dead skin cells and hydrates. Eucalyptus provides strong astringent properties. Together, they work to smooth skin, minimize pore size experience, reduce acne and prevent new pimples from forming.
The Harmony XL Pro uses advanced blue light technology to target the root cause of acne—P. acnes bacteria. When the high-intensity blue light penetrates the skin, it activates natural compounds within the bacteria called porphyrins. This activation triggers a photochemical reaction that produces reactive oxygen species, effectively destroying the acne-causing bacteria without harming the surrounding skin. This gentle yet powerful approach helps reduce inflammation, clear existing breakouts, and prevent new ones from forming—making it an ideal treatment for those struggling with active acne.
The 4-week Acne Program includes two AlumierMD BHA 20 acne Peels, and 4 Blue-Light photodynamic therapy sessions, plus a $10 gift card to Purr Tea for an added treat.
