  • Combining Advanced Treatments for Maximum Results

    Facial treatments for acne and post-inflammatory scarring often involve a combination of techniques to promote healing and rejuvenation. Chemical peels, for instance, utilize exfoliating agents to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, while also helping to fade discoloration. Microneedling is another effective option, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture by creating micro-injuries that prompt the body's natural healing processes. Additionally, LED light therapy can target inflammation and promote healing, offering a gentle yet effective adjunct to more intensive treatments. Combining these approaches can lead to a clearer complexion and a reduction in the appearance of scars, ultimately supporting a more radiant, confident you.

Types of Acne We Treat:

Understanding Your Acne

Acne manifests in various forms, each with its own unique characteristics, underlying causes, and challenges that can significantly impact your daily life. At Balance Skin + Wellness Advanced Aesthetics, we specialize in carefully identifying and effectively treating acne types to restore your skin’s clarity, health, and overall vibrancy, helping you regain confidence in your appearance. Our approach to acne treatments integrates advanced techniques and personalized care to ensure you achieve the clear skin you desire.

  • Whiteheads

    Whiteheads are small, flesh-colored or white bumps caused by clogged hair follicles. They occur when oil and dead skin cells become trapped beneath the skin’s surface.

  • Blackheads

    Blackheads appear as dark spots on the skin, resulting from oxidized oil and debris in open pores. Unlike whiteheads, blackheads are exposed to air, causing the dark appearance.

  • Pimples

    Pimples are inflamed lesions that form when pores become blocked with excess oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. They often appear red and swollen.

  • Pus-Filled Lumps

    These are larger, painful bumps filled with pus, indicating a more severe infection within the pore. They require careful treatment to prevent scarring.

  • Nodules

    Nodules are deep, painful lumps beneath the skin’s surface. They are more severe than pimples and can lead to significant scarring if not treated properly.

  • Small Red, Tender Bumps

    These are minor inflamed spots that can cause discomfort and tenderness. While less severe, they contribute to overall acne severity.

  • Acne Scarring

    Acne scarring refers to the permanent marks left on the skin after acne lesions heal. These can range from shallow indentations to deep pitted scars.

What Causes Acne?

Acne originates when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Several factors contribute to the development of acne, including:

  • Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can increase oil production and lead to breakouts.
  • Genetics: A family history of acne can predispose individuals to developing similar skin issues.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, high humidity, and harsh weather conditions can exacerbate acne by irritating the skin and increasing oil production.
  • Diet: Consuming high-glycemic foods, dairy products, or sugary snacks may trigger or worsen acne in some individuals.
  • Stress: High stress levels can influence hormone levels, leading to increased oil production and subsequent acne flare-ups.
  • Cosmetic Products: Using oily or comedogenic skincare and makeup products can clog pores and contribute to acne development.

It's important to note that acne isn't just a teenage problem. Adults can also experience acne due to the aforementioned factors. Understanding the root causes of your acne is crucial in selecting the most effective treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
