Teens and Acne

Is your teen struggling with acne or acne scarring?

We can help. 

Many teens experience acne at some point in their lives, and some develop severe, cystic acne and scarring.

As with any client, we begin with a thorough consultation, examining the issue and providing a treatment plan we think will garner the best results. 

It should be noted that this is a process – it happens over a period of time, individual to each client. 

When treating acne, our first goal is to get it under control. That includes switching the client’s skincare to a medical-grade skincare line that targets acne specifically. 

For this client, we recommended a series of glow peels that contain salicylic acid, resorcinol and lactic acid. Each acid works together to help oxygenate and destroy the active blemishes, lighten and brighten the hyperpigmentation and deeply hydrate the skin. This also helps to prevent further papules and blemishes from forming.

The results are already incredible.

She is now beginning a series of Microneedling treatments, which will treat the hyperpigmentation and scarring. Microneedling can also be used as a treatment for mild acne, and is a go-to treatment for lines/wrinkles and skin laxity as well. 

We are extremely pleased with our client’s results so far. We understand the emotions teen acne can bring on a young person – it is our goal to make every single person who visits Freedom Medi-Spa leave more confident than when they arrived.

If you or your teen is battling acne, avoid treating it with multiple products that may be doing more harm. All our consultations are free. Book yours today.

What’s the difference between a chemical peel and a Green Peel?

Great question.

In addition to sloughing off dead skin cells, peels also even out skin tone, improve acne-prone skin, add hydration and glow to your skin.

Chemical peels cause intentional damage to the epidermis and/or dermis with the goal of stimulating new tissue to improve skin texture and tone.

The AlumierMD AHA Duo, BHA 20, and Renew30 are all AlumierMD Chemical Peels that can help treat various skin concerns all while giving you added glow and hydration.

The Original Green Peel is an organic, herbal, gentle, resurfacing skin treatment that treats acne, sun damage/pigmentation, lines/wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, blackheads/milia/impure skin, and prematurely aged skin.

A blend of dried and crushed herbs are mixed into a paste and massaged into the skin. The skin will appear flushed and may feel warm. Over the next week or so, the herbs release vitamins, minerals, enzymes and trace elements into the skin, and begin to peel.
