Acne

What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles/pores become clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells. This leads to pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Also known as acne vulgaris, acne can lead to inflammation, acne scars, and blemishes that can cause self-consciousness in your appearance.

Who is Affected by Acne?

Acne can affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. While it’s very common in teenagers and young adults, it can occur during adulthood as well. That said, if you’re going through hormonal changes, have oily skin, and/or have a family history of acne, you are more likely to struggle with acne. Additionally, women tend to struggle with adult acne more than men.

Acne Treatments at Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics

You don’t have to struggle with acne any longer. With the highly effective aesthetic treatments we offer at Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics, you can finally have the beautiful and clearer skin you deserve. Some of the treatment options we offer include Morpheus8, Lumecca IPL, facials, and the Hydrafacial.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling to completely rejuvenate your skin. For acne specifically, the radiofrequency energy can kill the bacteria that lead to acne in the first place. On top of that, the heat from the RF energy damages the oil glands in the skin, limiting your skin’s oil production and preventing further breakouts.

Lumecca IPL

Lumecca IPL is an intense pulsed light therapy that uses light to heat the skin and destroy targeted skin cells to address unwanted pigment. But beyond pigmentation, it can also treat acne. The intense light can damage the oil glands, ensuring the glands produce less of the oil that clogs pores and causes acne.

Facials

Facials can address a variety of concerns and be an incredibly relaxing experience. They can rejuvenate and refresh your skin, but how do they address acne? Extractions are part of our facial treatments at Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics. During this process, your provider will unclog your pores using specialized tools, allowing the acne to heal and leaving you with clearer skin.

Hydrafacial

A Hydrafacial is a facial treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, and infusion to give you the hydrated and healthy skin you’re looking for. The exfoliation and infusion process removes excess oil and dirt to not only stop acne from forming, but also to reduce inflammation, leaving you with a refreshed appearance.
