There many factors that can lead to acne in teenagers and adults. This may include an overproduction of androgen hormone, oil glands that are producing an excess of sebum, lack of proper facial cleansing, or even genetic predisposition. With the rise in food intolerances/allergies there is also a possibility that this can be a contributing factor to acne. Pores can get clogged with dirt, dead skin cells, or make-up which can lead to growth of bacteria forming a pimple or blackhead.
At ANEU Med Spa we start with a very detailed consultation to determine the cause of your acne first, then we customize an at home skincare routine and treatment plan.
Cystic acne develops deep under the skin, forming tender red bumps on the skin’s surface. Kenalog is a corticosteroid with powerful anti-inflammatory effects that can treat these painful lesions and inflamed pimples. When injected into acne lesions, swelling, redness, and tenderness caused by acne are improved within 72 hours. Multiple treatments may be required depending upon the size of the lesion.
Chemical peels like the Perfect Derma Peel are formulated with specific chemicals and ingredients designed to target acne. Peels with ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide clear out clogged pores while stripping away dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. Patients can expect improvements in their current breakout and less frequent future breakouts.
Forever Clear BBL laser treatment combines blue, yellow, and infrared light to target acne causes and symptoms at the source. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria in the pores; yellow light reduces inflammation and redness and will prevent future breakouts; infrared light triggers the body’s natural healing response and improves the appearance of acne scars. This is a non-invasive and tolerable treatment.
Microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response and production of new collagen to resurface the skin with new, healthy skin cells. By penetrating the facial tissues with tiny microneedles, this treatment can help to lessen acne scarring with the replenishment of new collagen.

Not only does AviClear treat current acne, but it also helps prevent future outbreaks. It is the first technology to specifically target the source of sebum or oils in your skin.
