Acne is an extremely common skin condition that occurs when the follicles become congested with oil and dead skin cells. Acne can occur on the face, chest, back, shoulders, and neck. Acne treatment at Between the Bridges Healthy Skin can help to reduce the appearance of acne and prevent future breakouts.
Our acne treatment plan includes a combination of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing procedures that are designed to reduce inflammation and promote healing. We also offer a variety of acne treatments, including:
Teen Acne Treatments
Acne is a very common skin condition that usually starts in adolescence and can carry on into adulthood.
Acne treatment usually involves a combination of topical treatments (such as creams, gels, or lotions) and oral medications (taken by mouth). The goals of acne treatment are to reduce inflammation and to prevent scarring.
There are many different acne treatments available, and the best approach for each individual will depend on the severity of their acne. For mild acne, over-the-counter treatments may be sufficient. However, for more severe acne, specific medications and treatments may be necessary. Some common acne treatments include retinoids, antibiotics, birth control pills, and isotretinoin.
With so many options available, it is important to consult with an expert provider at Between the Bridges Healthy Skin to determine the best acne treatment plan for you.
Agnes® RF
Agnes RF uses a combination of microneedling and radio frequency to fight acne and related conditions. A qualified trained healthcare professional will then use a sterile microneedle to reach and puncture a sebaceous gland. After an application of a numbing topical cream, the needle is inserted into the skin. Next, radio frequency energy is applied to the needle. The radio frequency then destroys the sebaceous glands.
The sebaceous glands will be permanently destroyed and cease to secrete any oils. This procedure helps to stop the root cause of most acne problems.
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy involves using pure oxygen to help kill acne-causing bacteria and promote healing. The oxygen is usually delivered through a nebulizer, which is a small, handheld device that turns the oxygen into a fine mist. One of the benefits of oxygen therapy is that it is a gentle treatment option with few side effects. Additionally, it has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of acne symptoms. If you are considering oxygen therapy for acne, be sure to speak with our expert skin care providers to see if it is right for you.
Supplements
Acne is a very common skin condition that affects people of all ages. While there are many over-the-counter acne treatments available, some people may also benefit from taking supplements.
Vitamin A is a nutrient that helps to keep skin healthy and promote cell turnover, making it an effective acne treatment. Another option is zinc, which can help to reduce inflammation and kill acne-causing bacteria. Probiotics are also sometimes recommended for acne sufferers, as they can help to balance the good and bad bacteria on the skin.
