ACNE
Acne is a common skin issue wherein hair follicles are blocked with dead skin, oil, and bacteria. It often presents as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, depending on its severity. Acne can show up on areas like the face, back, shoulders, and chest. It’s affected by things like hormones, genetics, some medications, and even what you eat. While it’s most associated with adolescence, it can persist or begin in adulthood. If left untreated, acne often leads to long-term skin damage, including scarring and discoloration. Fortunately, a range of treatments are available to reduce breakouts, manage inflammation, and prevent scarring. These treatments include radiofrequency therapy, skin resurfacing, and professional facials. They aim to enhance skin health by tackling the root causes of acne and ultimately deliver clearer skin as time goes on.
Acne can impact anyone, regardless of age or skin type, but it is most frequently seen in teenagers and young adults because of hormonal changes. Adult-onset acne is also frequently reported in women. When seeking treatment, individuals can expect a consultation to evaluate the type and severity of their acne, followed by a tailored treatment plan. Procedures are typically scheduled in a series and may involve minimal downtime, depending on the method selected. Results are progressive and require consistent care and follow-up. Treating acne in Orlando, FL, can help improve both skin appearance and overall confidence.

Treatments for Acne
Agnes RF®
Agnes RF® is a targeted radiofrequency treatment that addresses stubborn acne by selectively destroying the sebaceous glands responsible for excessive oil production. Using a specialized microneedle, this device delivers RF energy directly into the problem areas, reducing active acne and helping to prevent future breakouts. It’s particularly effective for treating cystic acne and recurring pimples.
AquaFirme™
AquaFirme™ combines exfoliation, hydration, and serum infusion to cleanse and revitalize the skin. This gentle facial treatment removes dead skin cells, extra oil, and dirt from the skin’s surface, making it a great option for treating mild to moderate acne. Regular sessions can improve skin clarity and texture while maintaining hydration levels.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels can reduce acne by taking off the outer layer of skin and promoting the growth of new, healthy cells. Peels that include salicylic acid or glycolic acid are often used to clear clogged pores, manage oil production, and smooth skin that is prone to acne. Depending on the strength of the peel, some downtime may be necessary, and results improve with a series of treatments.

ACNE FAQS
What are the main causes of acne?
Acne usually happens because of blocked pores, too much oil, bacteria, hormonal shifts, and inflammation. Other contributing factors include stress, diet, and use of comedogenic skincare products.
Can adult acne be treated the same way as teenage acne?
While many of the same treatments are effective, adult acne often requires a customized approach. Hormonal imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors can play a larger role in adult cases, and treatment plans are tailored accordingly.
How long does it take to see results from acne treatments?
The results can differ based on the treatment used and how serious the condition is. Some patients see improvement within a few sessions, while others may require several weeks or months for more noticeable changes. Consistency is key for lasting results.
Is it safe to combine acne treatments like RF and chemical peels?
There are various treatments that can work better together, but it’s important to do this with the help of a professional. A skincare provider will assess your skin condition and recommend safe and effective combinations.
Do acne treatments cause downtime?
Some treatments, like chemical peels or RF microneedling, may involve mild redness or peeling for a few days. However, most procedures are minimally invasive and allow patients to return to daily activities quickly.
Are these acne treatments suitable for sensitive skin?
Many treatments can be adapted for sensitive skin. Providers will evaluate your skin type and choose appropriate settings or products to ensure a safe and effective experience.
