“Small steps taken consistently can lead to big results when it comes to treating acne.”
What are the Typical Causes of Acne and Pimples?
We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic struggle with acne and pimples. From our experience, the main causes are often hormonal changes, excess oil production, and clogged pores. Hormones play a big role, especially during puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy. These hormonal shifts can make your skin produce more oil, leading to breakouts.
Another common cause we’ve noticed is bacteria buildup on the skin. When oil and dead skin cells clog your pores, bacteria can thrive there, causing inflammation and pimples. Stress, certain medications, and diet can also trigger acne for some people. We always remind our customers that acne isn’t caused by poor hygiene, but gentle cleansing can help manage it.
Each person’s skin is unique, meaning that what causes acne for one person may not have the same effect on another. You can refer to the table below for the causes of acne and how they can be treated:
| Causes of Acne | Treatment Options |
|---|---|
| Hormonal changes | Birth control pills, hormone therapy, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid |
| Genetics | Topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, antibiotics |
| Bacteria | Topical and oral antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, azelaic acid |
| Diet | Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoiding processed foods and sugar |
| Medications | Switching to a different medication or adjusting dosage, topical treatments |
| Stress | Stress management techniques such as meditation, exercise, and therapy, topical and oral medications |
What are the Different Types of Acne?
We’ve seen many different types of acne in our years at Wellaholic. The most common ones we encounter are blackheads and whiteheads. These happen when pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Blackheads are open at the surface, while whiteheads are closed.
Papules and pustules are what most people think of as pimples. They’re red, inflamed bumps that can be tender to touch. Nodules and cysts are more severe forms of acne. They’re larger, deeper, and often painful. At Wellaholic, we always recommend that customers with these types seek professional help to prevent scarring.
Wellaholic’s Proven Methods to Treat Acne
We’ve seen countless customers at Wellaholic struggle with acne. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with personalized care to tackle this common skin issue. We start by understanding each person’s unique skin type and acne triggers.
Our arsenal includes a range of treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser therapy. We often recommend our Elight Monthly Facials, which blend microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, and extraction. This combo works wonders for many of our customers. We’ve found that a mix of in-clinic treatments and a solid at-home skincare routine gives the best results. Remember, beating acne takes time and patience, but with the right approach, clear skin is within reach.
Suggested Skincare Routine for Acne-Prone Skin
We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic struggle with acne-prone skin. Our experience has taught us that a simple, consistent routine works best. Here’s what we recommend:
Start with a gentle cleanser twice a day. This keeps your skin clean without drying it out. Next, use a toner to balance your skin’s pH. For breakouts, apply a spot treatment. Don’t skip moisturizer, even if you have oily skin. Choose a light, oil-free option. Finish with SPF 30 sunscreen every morning. This protects your skin from UV damage. Remember, give your routine time to work. If acne persists, we suggest seeing a dermatologist.
Suggested Diet & Lifestyle Changes for Acne-Prone Skin
In addition to a good skincare routine, certain diet and lifestyle changes can also help improve acne-prone skin. Here are some suggestions:
| Changes | Details |
|---|---|
| Eat a balanced diet | – Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein into your diet. – Avoid processed and sugary foods, which can cause inflammation in the body and exacerbate acne |
| Stay hydrated | – Drink plenty of water throughout the day – Keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins |
| Manage stress | – Stress can trigger acne breakouts – Find ways to manage stress such as exercise, meditation, or deep breathing |
| Get enough sleep | – Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night – To allow your skin to repair and regenerate |
| Avoid touching your fac | – Your hands can carry bacteria and oil that can exacerbate acne – Avoid touching your face throughout the day |
| Use non-comedogenic products | – Choose skincare and makeup products that are labeled as non-comedogenic to avoid clogging pores. |
| Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption | – Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to inflammation and worsen acne |
Suggested Facial Treatments for Acne-Prone Skin
If you have acne-prone skin, it’s important to choose facial treatments that are specifically designed to address your skin concerns. Here are some suggested facial treatments for acne-prone skin:
- Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use acids to exfoliate the skin and reduce acne. They can also help fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
- Microdermabrasion: This treatment uses a special device to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. It can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
- LED Light Therapy: LED light therapy uses different coloured lights to target specific skin concerns, such as inflammation and acne-causing bacteria.
- Extraction Facial: This facial involves manual extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. It’s important to have this treatment done by a licensed esthetician to avoid damaging the skin.
- Oxygen Facial: This facial involves infusing oxygen and nutrients into the skin to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
- Laser Therapy: Laser therapy can be used to reduce acne and acne scars. It works by targeting the bacteria that causes acne and promoting collagen production.
Wellaholic offers Elight Monthly Facials, which include microdermabrasion, LED light therapy as well as extraction facials.
