Let’s Talk Acne:
Real Solutions for Clearer Skin at Every Age
June is Acne Awareness Month - and we’re here for the real talk.
Acne doesn’t just happen to teenagers. Whether you're 14 or 45, breakouts can affect your skin and your confidence. And while it’s incredibly common, acne often gets treated like a one-size-fits-all problem. At PureSKIN, we know better — and we treat it that way.
We take a medical, personalized approach to acne care, combining years of dermatology experience with treatments that actually work (without wrecking your skin barrier in the process).
Acne Comes in Many Forms - and Ages
You don’t have to be in high school to struggle with acne. In fact, we treat adult acne more than ever. Some of the most common types we see:
-
Hormonal acne (especially along the jawline and chin)
-
Cystic acne that feels deep and painful under the skin
-
Blackheads and whiteheads caused by congested pores
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring from old breakouts
And if you’re someone battling both acne and fine lines? You’re not alone — and we have plans that support both concerns.
Our Most Effective Acne Treatments
At PureSKIN, we don’t believe in throwing a shelf full of products at your face and hoping for the best. We use a layered, thoughtful approach depending on your skin type, acne severity, and long-term goals.
Some of our go-to treatments for active breakouts and scarring include:
-
BBL HERO (Forever Clear Laser): Blue, red and yellow light laser therapy targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness and inflammation without downtime.
-
Diamond Glow Facial: A clinical-grade, customizable facial that exfoliates with real diamond tips, deeply cleanses congested pores, and infuses targeted serums to treat acne, dehydration, and dullness — all in one powerful (but gentle) session.
-
Glo2 Facial: A powerful yet gentle oxygenating treatment that exfoliates, detoxifies, and hydrates in one session — perfect for breakout-prone skin.
-
Acne-Control Peels: These medical-grade peels help unclog pores, reduce oil production, and improve skin tone — without the harsh peeling of old-school formulas.
-
Microneedling with or without PRF: A client favorite for smoothing post-acne scars and softening hyperpigmentation. Pair with PRF for even more healing and collagen stimulation.
-
Medical-grade skincare: We carry proven products from ZO Skin Health, Epionce, and EltaMD — carefully selected to support clearer skin and prevent future breakouts. Our curated brand EMMÉ was developed specifically for acne concerns.
-
Prescription therapy: If needed, we utilize our years of dermatology experience and follow trusted prescription therapy guidelines that may include oral antibiotics, anti-androgen prescriptions, topical antibiotics, topical retinoids, and others.
For Parents of Teens (or Tweens!)
Early, effective treatment makes a difference — not just for skin, but for self-confidence. We specialize in helping teens understand their skin and stick to a plan that works.
-
We use gentle, effective treatments suitable for younger skin
-
We prioritize education and empowerment — not shame or overwhelm
-
Our office was built on years of medical + cosmetic dermatology experience —we are not just a spa — which means your child gets real guidance from a dermatology-trained nurse practitioner or aesthetician
If you’ve been watching your teen struggle, or you’re not sure what’s “normal,” we’d love to help.
Why Patients Trust Us
We don’t rush you. We don’t overprescribe. We don’t hand you a long receipt of random products.
At PureSKIN, we:
-
Offer realistic, customized plans based on experience, not trends
-
Combine dermatology knowledge + aesthetic treatments for faster results
-
Care about long-term skin health, not just quick fixes
Whether you’re breaking out for the first time in years, dealing with scarring, or looking to help your teen avoid the same frustrations you had - we’ve got you.
