Whether it started in your teenage years or made an appearance in later adulthood, acne is a common and frustrating skin condition many men and women face throughout their lives. Taking care of your skin to prevent acne breakouts and maintain a clear complexion can be difficult, but the medical professionals at Yonick Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center are here to make it easy. Here are our suggested treatments to help you clear up your skin and keep it clear for the long-run.
Start with Broadband Light Therapy
Broadband Light Therapy (BBL™) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses intense pulsed light therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria and correct hyperpigmentation on the skin. To treat your acne breakouts, we encourage you to consider Forever Clear® BBL™ treatments. Forever Clear® uses a three-step process to clear your skin for the long-term. Your treatments will start with a blue light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria at its source, then transition to yellow light to reduce redness and inflammation, and conclude with infrared light to trigger the body’s natural healing processes.
Follow-Up with ClearSilk™ Laser Treatments
Laser treatments are very popular with patients who have conquered their acne breakouts but are left with acne scarring. For patients who wish to resurface their skin and reduce the appearance of their acne scars, we recommend ClearSilk™ laser treatments. This advanced laser resurfacing treatment is able to target and treat your hyperpigmentation and scar tissue at its very source, so you can reap the benefits without having to undergo any lengthy downtime or recovery period.
Consider ZO® Skin Health 3-Step Peels
Chemical peels have become increasingly popular among patients who have acne scarring and persistent hyperpigmentation. For patients wishing to reduce some of these imperfections, we highly recommend the ZO® Skin Health 3-Step Peel. This lighter chemical peel treatment uses a special blend of exfoliants and retinol to improve skin health while reducing unwanted skin imperfections. While this treatment does require a little more downtime than ClearSilk™ laser treatments, our patients rave over their long-lasting results and newly healthy skin.
Maintain with Medical-Grade Skincare
Healthy-looking and –feeling skin starts with a healthy base. That’s why we always recommend our patients care for their skin on the daily with medical-grade skincare products. Unlike over-the-counter products that may clog your pores and do more harm than good, medical-grade products use the highest-quality ingredients that are guaranteed to create a healthy and glowing complexion. We encourage you to check out skincare lines like ZO® Skin Health, Alastin® Skincare, and our very own line of high-quality, medical-grade skincare products called Yonick Skin Care.
