“The most beautiful face in the world? It’s yours!” -Esteé Lauder.
If you’re struggling with acne, you know how discouraging it can be trying a thing after another, and yet not getting the healthy and glowing skin you deserve.
Thankfully, advances in medical technology have benefited all areas of medicine, including aesthetics. Skin health is not the exception, and it’s been proven that some Medspa treatments can improve skin health significantly.
If you’re ready to finally have the glowy skin of your dreams and show off your already beautiful face more confidently, this article takes a look at the most effective medical spa treatments for acne.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peeling is a skin resurfacing procedure intended to regenerate normal skin from the application of exfoliative agents. It has been used for the treatment of acne vulgaris and other skin disorders for decades.
Some of its benefits include smoother texture and tone, lightening of dark spots, and unclogging of pores to help prevent future breakouts.
Some of the possible side effects are darkening or lightening of the skin color, scarring, and infections when not done properly.
Microneedling
According to the NCBI “Multiple minimally invasive sessions of skin microneedling are an effective treatment for post-acne atrophic scars as it stimulates the repair processes with the advantage of being a relatively risk-free, in-office procedure with minimal patient recovery time.”
Microneedling can improve skin texture, making it plumper and more even, diminishing the appearance of scarring and hyperpigmentation, preventing signs of aging, and also the sterilized needles reduce acne and blackheads by poking tiny holes in the uppermost layer of your skin and removing the source of the recurring blackhead, even the ones on your nose.
Some of the side effects might be minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure and redness for a few days.
NeoGen Plasma
NeoGen PSR regenerates the skin by emitting the plasma energy in controlled pulses from the handpiece, heating up the skin rapidly. It’s a non-ablative treatment meaning it stimulates your body’s production of collagen without destroying your skin’s tissue.
NeoGen PSR is an FDA approved skin resurfacing procedure and works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, creating a rejuvenated, revived look. Its been proven effective to treat visible pores, hyperpigmentation, active acne, and acne scars.
The skin may appear slightly flushed or red immediately after treatment.
Laser Resurfacing
The laser treatment works by reducing the top layers of your skin to reveal the smoother skin underneath. You may notice an improvement in the look and feel of your skin within the first week of treatment, but it takes up to three months for your skin to fully heal and rejuvenate.
Dr. Galope uses laser resurfacing tools to: Lessen the appearance of lines and wrinkles, Improve the tone and texture of your skin, and treat acne scars.
Laser treatments are usually very effective for removing dark spots. Generally, laser treatments are better for those with lighter skin. For those with darker skin, a chemical peel may be a better option.
eTwo Sublime
eTwo™ is a treatment that uses radio-frequency energy (electrical as opposed to laser, which is light energy) to create a healing response and produce collagen, which in turn,
tightens and re-structures the skin, to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pores, and acne scarring.
Some of its side effects are redness and swelling after the procedure that lasts from hours to days and small scabs.
Sublative Treatment
Fractionated bi-polar radiofrequency technology places the heat energy effectively into the upper layers of the skin. Healthy skin around the dots accelerates the healing process of the skin. After the treatment, new collagen and healthy skin cells are produced to make it appear smoother, brighter, and healthier.
Side effects are similar to eTwo Sublime. Also, rare side effects include skin wounds, infection and scarring, too little or too much pigment, and surface irregularities.
