Acne is a common condition that causes your skin to become red and irritated. It occurs due to clogged hair follicles and pores. Many people think acne only affects teenagers, but it’s just as common in adults.
When left untreated, acne can negatively affect your confidence and self-esteem. It can also cause permanent skin damage and scarring. Fortunately, with prompt intervention, it’s possible to remedy and even reverse.
What are the symptoms of acne?
The symptoms of acne vary depending on the severity and your skin type. Telltale signs include:
Whiteheads
Blackheads
Small red, tender bumps
Pimples
Solid, painful lumps directly beneath the skin
As acne progresses, you might also experience painful pus-filled bumps known as cystic lesions.
What is acne treatment?
Revive™ Medical Spa provides several high-end treatments that target acne and acne scars. Ardis teaches you about each of your options:
1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser
Ardis uses the long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for acne treatment. The technology uses infrared light to target water in your sebaceous glands. This heats up the glands, causing them to shrink in size. It’s an ideal treatment for people with moderate or severe acne.
Vivace® radiofrequency microneedling
Vivace combines microneedling with gentle radiofrequency energy to heat your skin for better healing. This treatment helps minimize lasting acne scars.
VI Purify peel
The VI Purify peel is a chemical peel that reduces the moisture in your skin. It treats acne and generally oily or congested skin by increasing cell turnover and expanding your pores.
HydraFacial®
The HydraFacial is a painless one-of-a-kind cleansing, extracting, and exfoliating treatment for your skin. It also involves an infusion of peptides and antioxidants to nourish your skin.
How long does it take to see the results of acne treatment?
Following acne treatment, it takes about six weeks to see visible results. The Nd: YAG laser triggers your body’s natural healing process, which takes some time.
Be patient and make sure to attend all of your follow-up appointments. You’re sure to see improved skin tone and texture in no time.
