Back-to-School Skincare: Why the Hydrafacial is the Perfect Solution for Acne

Tag Archives: Acne Facial

Woman Back to SchoolAs summer winds down and school gets ready to start, it’s time to think about more than just supplies and new outfits. The transition from carefree summer days to the rigors of school can be stressful, which can wreak havoc on your skin—especially if you’re prone to acne.

Fortunately, there’s an effective solution to help you step into the new school year with confidence: the Hydrafacial. Offering a comprehensive approach to skincare, it is particularly effective in addressing acne. Here are some reasons why the Hydrafacial should be on your back-to-school checklist.

  1. Cleansing: The Hydrafacial utilizes patented Vortex Fusion Technology which deeply cleanses pores, and removes excess oil, dirt, and other impurities that can contribute to acne breakouts.
  2. Exfoliation: The treatment includes a gentle exfoliation step to remove any dead skin cells, which can help prevent clogged pores and reduce the development of acne.
  3. Extraction: A painless suction helps to clear out the pores and remove any blackheads. This step is crucial for reducing the buildup of sebum and bacteria that contribute to acne.
  4. Hydration: It infuses the skin with hydrating serums that contain antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. Hydration is essential for maintaining skin health and supporting its natural barrier function, which can become compromised in acne-prone skin.
  5. Antioxidant Protection: The serums used in the HydraFacial contain antioxidants such as vitamins A, E, and plant extracts. These help to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, promoting healing in acne-prone skin.

It’s important to note that while HydraFacial can be beneficial for acne, individual results may vary. For severe acne cases, we may recommend combining HydraFacial with other treatments such as topical medications or oral medications to achieve the best results.

Woman with clear skinAcne is a common skin condition that affects over 50 million people in the United States. It is usually seen in teens and young adults but can occur across the lifespan. So, what can you do to get clearer skin? The answer is simple, the HydraFacial.

What is the HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is a facial treatment that utilizes patented vortex technology to gently exfoliate, cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin.

How does it help with acne?

The exfoliating tip with the suction helps to remove any debris and cleanse oily, congested skin. In addition, the nourishing topical solutions infused into the treatment help to destroy acne-causing bacteria and minimize inflammation.

When can results be seen?

Results are noticeable after just one treatment. However, depending on the severity of the acne, it may take a series of treatments for significant improvement.

Is it suitable for all ages?

Yes. All skin types as well.

Why choose the HydraFacial over another treatment?

In comparison to microdermabrasion, it is much gentler on the skin. And unlike traditional facials, it’s performed by a handheld device which allows for deeper penetration and longer-lasting results.

Although acne can be one of the more difficult skin conditions to treat, there is hope with the HydraFacial. To learn more about it, contact the acne treatment specialists at Lisa S. Ball, FNP today.

Summer WomanWith Summer officially around the corner, even warmer weather is on the way. But for those who are prone to acne, that is not necessarily a good thing. The reason is that during this time more sweat and oil are produced. This, in turn, can lead to more breakouts.

So, if you are one of the many who suffer from acne breakouts, what can you do? One of our favorite treatments for the condition is the HydraFacial with the ZO Skin Health Rozatrol Booster. This supercharged treatment not only helps to manage oil production but also soothes the appearance of red, sensitized skin as well. Immediately after treatment, the skin is left with a noticeably clearer, radiant glow.

If you deal with acne breakouts and are ready to say goodbye to them, we here at Lisa S. Ball, FNP can help! Schedule an appointment with us today.

As discussed in a past post, acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people. Although it may only appear on the skin, the effects can go much deeper. Many sufferers deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. With the start of the school year, those problems are only amplified.

So, what exactly causes acne and what can you do to control it? We recently sat down with our aesthetician Lauren Battaglia and asked her just that. Here’s what she had to say…

“Acne occurs when the pores on the skin become blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells.  This causes the inflammation that appears on the skin. Working as an aesthetician over the years, I have helped a number of patients with varying degrees of acne. I put them on a great regime of treatments and products.”

Some products that she says are the most effective for combating acne are as follows:

  • SkinCeuticals LHA Cleansing Gel – “This cleanser is great because it decongests pores, smooths out skin texture, and brightens the skin. A must for any skin care routine.”
  • SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque – “Amazing mask! I love, love, love it! It decongests the pores as well, removes excess oil and helps to calm the skin.”
  • SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense – “One of my favorite serums! It’s oil-free and helps to reduce the formation of acne. It even improves clogged pores as well.”

 

Lauren also offers a facial specifically for acne. It consists of a deep, thorough cleansing and extraction that breaks down impurities, sebum, dead skin cells, and blackheads. “It’s really a must for teens or others struggling with stubborn acne,” she says.

With skin type and acne severity varying from person to person, certain products/treatments may work better for some than others. If you would like to meet with Lauren to discuss a customized skin care regime for yourself, contact our office today.

Effecting nearly 50 million Americans, acne is the most common skin condition. With June being Acne Awareness Month, there was no better time for us to offer our popular Acne Facial for a discounted rate of only $59.

The treatment is a deep, thorough cleansing and extraction to break down impurities, sebum, dead skin cells, and blackheads. An ideal treatment for teens or anybody with stubborn active acne.
