If you struggle with acne, you’re probably well aware of how difficult it is to treat. Sometimes the root cause is diet-related; other times, it’s hormone-related, and sometimes you just can’t figure out why you’re breaking out. At Mountain State Plastic Surgery in Beckley, WV, we offer acne treatment plans that can clear your skin and increase your confidence.
Regardless of why you are experiencing acne, we can choose the right treatments to help clear your acne quickly and help you experience a beautiful complexion.
How Can You Clear Up Acne Fast?
One of the most effective ways to clear acne is by undergoing Blu-U blue light photodynamic therapy treatments. These treatments are simple yet effective and can clear up acne very quickly. Blue light treatment is effective because it uses blue LED light to kill the acne bacteria on the skin.
Instead of just addressing active blemishes, it kills the bacteria responsible for acne and, in doing so, helps clear current acne and prevent the formation of new blemishes. This treatment is incredibly effective, quick, and painless. It delivers some radical results that will help you achieve a clear and glowing complexion in no time at all.
Acne-Clearing Treatments
While these Blue-U blue light photodynamic therapy treatments offer a quick and effective way to clear acne, we also offer other acne treatments that will improve your skin long term. From chemical peels to facials, we offer treatments that you can add to your skincare routine. They can contribute to improving your acne while perfecting your complexion and tackling other concerns in the meantime.
Our Chemical Peels
Chemical peels provide the skin with much-needed chemical exfoliation. They contain a powerful combination of ingredients, including different acids that together can dissolve the top layer of dead skin cells, promote collagen production, and heal the skin.
In dissolving that top layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels can help control acne, remove the build-up and debris that often leads to acne, and promote clearer skin. They can also help tackle some other skin imperfections, including hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and other skin concerns.
Our Customized Facials
At Mountain State Cosmetic Surgery, we offer different customized facials that can be tailored to your needs, specifically acne-prone skin. We can add a combination of products and techniques to your facial to promote healthy, clear skin. Adding regular facials to your monthly skincare routine can help you get control of acne. When you combine facials with Blue-U blue light photodynamic therapy treatments, you can finally experience an acne treatment that works.
These facials are relaxing and can be customized to help treat acne-related concerns and other skin imperfections. We can tailor this treatment to the needs of your skin and address other concerns as well. Once you add a customized facial to your skincare routine, you’ll see an improvement not only in your acne but in your skin tone, texture, and overall skin health.
The Hydrafacial
Patients with acne-prone skin have found an effective solution to help control those blemishes in the Hydrafacial. This popular treatment uses powerful patented vortex technology to address skin concerns, acne included. The three-step facial cleans and exfoliates your skin, extracts oil and build-up from your pores, and hydrates and nourishes your skin with customized serums designed to target acne.
If you’re looking for an all-in-one facial to help you achieve your best skin yet, the Hydrafacial is a perfect option. Our technicians can explain more about this treatment during your consultation when we design a customized acne treatment plan that will help you eradicate blemishes and experience beautiful skin.
Dermaplaning Treatments
Dermaplaning is a form of physical exfoliation that involves the use of a medical-grade sterile scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine hair from your skin’s surface. This treatment is effective as a standalone treatment or as an add-on during a chemical peel or a facial.
It helps remove dirt and debris from the skin that can often contribute to clogged pores, opens up the skin so that all your topical products can better absorb into your skin, and help eliminate the dead skin cell build-up that leaves your skin looking dull and lifeless. While this treatment cannot be used on active acne, it is an effective treatment to add to your routine once your skin has healed as you seek to develop the right skincare treatment plan to effectively combat acne long-term.
Combating Acne At-Home
Diet Evaluation
Once you revamp your skincare routine and schedule the right treatments, you’ll begin to see a quick and steady improvement in your skin and the prevalence of your breakouts. However, to help ensure that your breakouts aren’t simply diet-related, you should evaluate the foods you eat and determine whether or not they are, in fact, the cause of your breakouts.
Excess sugar, inadequate hydration, greasy foods, gluten, and dairy can all cause acne in some individuals. By process of elimination, you can determine whether or not any of these foods are responsible in part for your breakouts and make the necessary changes in your diet to promote clear skin. Changing your diet combined with Blue-U blue light photodynamic therapy treatments, chemical peels, and facials can work together to help you achieve glowing, healthy, and clear skin.
Skincare Routine Changes
The right at-home skincare products can make a significant difference in the health and appearance of your skin. If you are using products that exacerbate acne-prone skin, you’ll never see a change in your complexion, at least not to the degree that you would like. At Mountain State Cosmetic Surgery, we offer several effective skincare lines with products that will nourish, cleanse, hydrate, and protect your skin. Some of these lines include:
- Obagi
- Jan Marini
- Neocutis
- Clarisonic
- Bare Minerals
- DoTerra
- Farm House Fresh
- Moroccan Oil
Our skincare experts can recommend the right products for acne-prone skin so that you can perfect your skin between treatments through a morning and evening skincare routine.
Using Discipline
Beautiful, clear skin requires a combination of discipline, commitment to an acne treatment plan, and a willingness to try new products and change your diet. Once you commit to investing in yourself, the choice to spend those extra five minutes in the morning applying products at work and doing the same in the evening will become routine.
The Benefits of Acne Treatments
Once you experience acne-free skin, you will do whatever it takes to maintain it long-term because not only does it make you look better, but it can do wonders for your confidence and self-esteem. There are very few skin conditions that drain your confidence, like acne can.
When your acne feels out of control, you need to seek the help of an expert, and our team will do whatever it takes to help you experience beautiful clear skin as quickly as possible. You can trust our estheticians and technicians to guide you toward the right acne treatment plan to help you achieve beautiful skin and maintain it long-term. Once you begin this process, you’ll be one step closer to beautiful skin.
Am I a Candidate?
Whether you’ve always struggled with acne-prone skin or you’ve just begun to experience adult acne, we can help you choose an effective treatment to help improve your skin. Based on your skin condition and needs, we will evaluate your eligibility for treatment and then move forward with the process. However, if you struggle with acne, chances are, we can prescribe a treatment plan that helps clear your skin.
Your Consultation
While it may seem as though patients with acne-prone skin have the same goal, that being to eradicate acne as quickly as possible, a consultation at our office is the best way to determine which acne treatments will help you achieve all of your skincare goals.
We will review your goals, evaluate your skin in person, and then design the right treatment plan that will help soothe and clear your skin. Additionally, we can also address other skin concerns during the same treatment process to help you save time and experience results as quickly as possible.
