combo treatments to treat your acne
This week we want to give some love for our clients that struggle with acne and give you a specialized little protocol we love to use as far as professional services go!
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns we see unfortunately and it's starting to affect clients of all ages (not just our hormonal teenagers). While we have seen over-the-counter treatments offer some temporary relief, more advanced and lasting results usually take a combination of skin care and some professional services.
What's great is at our Akron, Ohio medical spa, advanced acne treatments like BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy and RF (radiofrequency) microneedling (we touched on both in previous blog posts) are seriously revolutionizing the way we can treat acne and acne scars. These non-invasive procedures can offer patients a safe, effective alternative to harsh topical treatments and prescription medications that may or may not work.
BBL therapy uses targeted light energy to address the root causes of acne. By penetrating the skin’s surface, BBL reduces inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and regulates sebum production. In turn we get clearer, smoother skin with minimal downtime. We also will see improvements in skin tone and texture, making BBL a popular option at medical spas for those struggling with both active breakouts and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
RF microneedling, on the other hand, works beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing acne scars, minimizing pores, and improving overall skin firmness but also helps to regulate the oil production in the pore itself (super cool we know!).
RF microneedling is often combined with serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to further enhance results. The radiofrequency energy delivered through tiny needles triggers the skin’s natural healing response, leading to significant skin rejuvenation over a series of sessions.
What's even better is we can combine BBL and RF microneedling to offer our clients a comprehensive approach to acne treatment. While BBL tackles surface-level inflammation and bacteria, RF microneedling addresses deeper structural concerns like scarring, texture and oil production.
We ALWAYS tailor these treatments to each patient’s skin type and acne severity. Based on our assessment of your skin we can actually do these acne treatments spaced 2 weeks apart to really help with that oil control!
If you’re ready to take control of your skin, consider booking a consultation to explore how BBL and RF microneedling can help you achieve a healthier, clearer complexion.
