5 Med SPA Treatments For Acne-Prone Skin
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD), acne is the most common skin condition affecting approximately 50 million Americans. Even though acne can occur at any age, it usually begins in puberty, impacting about 85 percent of individuals between the ages of 12 and 24 with mild to moderate symptoms. While there are a variety of over-the-counter products and prescription medications that can help manage acne, many people turn to Med SPA treatments for more effective and longer-lasting results! In this blog, we’ll explore the top Med SPA treatments for acne-prone skin many of which are offered at M Health and Beauty.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a popular Med SPA treatment for acne-prone skin because they help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores, reducing the appearance of acne and preventing future breakouts. Chemical peels involve applying the solution to the skin that causes the outer layer of dead skin cells to peel away, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath. Different types of chemical peels are available, ranging from mild to deep, depending on the severity of your acne.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is another popular Med SPA treatment for acne-prone skin. This treatment uses a special device to exfoliate the skin and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, helping to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of acne. Microdermabrasion is a gentle treatment that can be performed regularly to maintain healthy-looking skin while reducing the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking brighter, smoother, and more even in tone and texture. This non-invasive procedure requires no downtime, making it a popular option for those with busy lifestyles. While microdermabrasion can be an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.
In a study, 96% of the 24 patients completing the research reported satisfaction with microdermabrasion for acne improvement, with 38% achieving excellent, 34% good, 17% fair, and 12% poor, suggesting a positive overall impact.
Hydra Facial
Hydra Facial is an extremely effective, non-invasive treatment option that is generally safe for all skin types. Hydra Facial uses the water-based solution to gently exfoliate the skin, removing the outermost dead layer and helping to decrease the oil and grime that cause acne. They also help break up hyperpigmentation and smooth acne scarring, leaving you with smoother skin, clearer complexion, smaller, less noticeable pores, and fewer breakouts.
LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation in the skin. This treatment can be effective in treating both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, and it can also help improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. LED light therapy is gentle and painless and can be used alone or combined with other acne treatments to enhance their effectiveness. Unlike some other acne treatments, LED light therapy requires no downtime and can be completed in a relatively short amount of time, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. While LED light therapy can effectively reduce acne breakouts and improve the skin's overall appearance, it is important to discuss your specific skin concerns and goals with our qualified MedSpa professionals to determine if LED light therapy is the right treatment option for your unique skin!
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a more intensive treatment option for acne-prone skin, but it can be effective in reducing the appearance of acne and preventing future breakouts. This treatment uses laser technology to target and destroy the sebaceous glands that produce oil in the skin, reducing the amount of oil on the skin's surface and helping to prevent clogged pores. Laser therapy for acne-prone skin can significantly improve the skin's overall appearance. Laser energy can stimulate collagen production, which can help to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This can lead to smoother, more even skin texture and a brighter, more youthful complexion!
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a small device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which produces new collagen and elastin fibers. This treatment can help improve the appearance of acne scars, reduce the appearance of pores, and improve overall skin texture and tone. Another great benefit delivered only by microneedling for acne-prone skin is that it can enhance the absorption of skincare products. The tiny punctures created by the microneedles allow for better penetration of topical treatments, such as serums and moisturizers, which can help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin!
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that microneedling improved the appearance of acne scars in 70% of participants.
