5 acne-fighting facial services that you should know

Facials are a catch-all term for a variety of different skincare products and techniques that enhance the appearance, softness, and overall quality of the skin. Due to the myriad types of facials on the market today, they are incredibly versatile. In turn, Springs Aesthetics can tailor facial treatments to address various signs of aging, sun damage, and skin concerns. 

Acne represents one of the most common concerns that we effectively treat. When seeking “acne treatment near me in Colorado Springs, Colorado,” we provide options that can make a real difference in your skin without considerable recovery, downtime, and other demands on your body and schedule. Here, we highlight five of those treatments.

1 – Chemical peels 

This service involves applying a specially formulated solution tailored to your specific needs. The solution stimulates a healthy process. It removes dead, damaged skin cells and other debris from the skin’s surface, encouraging healthy cell turnover. As these damaged cells are removed, they make way for fresh, new, unblemished cells. Peels for acne also deeply cleanse the pores. Acne forms when pores become clogged with dead skin cells, excess oil (sebum), and other impurities. So, chemical peels treat the source of acne to reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of breakouts. 

2 – HydraFacial®

This service is considered a multi-step, innovative twist on the standard facial. It uses a specially designed handpiece to suction dirt, oils, and other impurities from the pores. It also gently exfoliates the old, damaged skin cells and deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin with antioxidants and peptides. HydraFacial® reduces blemishes and breakouts and gives your skin a nice “glow-up” and silky texture.   

3 – Dermalinfusion®

Think of this facial service as an “elevated” HydraFacial®. It combines the deep cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating, and nourishing properties of the HydraFacial® system with intense dermabrasion. We use a diamond wand and pneumatic suction to exfoliate and extract acne-causing impurities from the pores of the skin. We complete treatment by infusing the skin with powerful serums targeted to your needs. In this case, we can lock in a professional serum to resolve acne and dark spots. 

 4 – Blue Light Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

Blue wavelength IPL treatments are non-invasive, comfortable, and can be used to treat active acne outbreaks, reducing bacteria and accelerating resolution. Unlike other forms of IPL, blue IPL is beneficial on a weekly basis and can be particularly helpful for hormonal outbreaks that occur with regular consistency. A chilled handpiece makes the application more comfortable, and treatments can be performed on the face, upper chest, and back to help expedite the resolution of the outbreak.

 5 – LED Light Therapy

Our medical-grade LED light treatment device can be set for blue wavelengths that help decrease bacterial count on the skin. Red light LED treatments can help reduce the redness of outbreaks. These treatments are non-invasive and take just 20-30 minutes in our medical spa.

With the above services, we can help clear your skin more effectively and efficiently. Springs Aesthetics’ acne treatments can help prevent complications such as scars. We may recommend other facials or skin resurfacing services for those already grappling with haunting reminders of past breakouts. Microneedling may be an effective way to stimulate the production of firming collagen and elastin deeper within the skin, which gradually smooths the depressions characteristic of acne scarring. Lasers and other energy-based treatments may also be recommended to induce collagen production and improve the appearance of acne scars. 

Acne in all of its forms no longer has to take control of your life or have an outsized influence over it. To take the first step to healthier, clearer skin, schedule your consultation by calling our Colorado Springs, CO team at (719) 749-3606 today.
