All About Acne Treatment

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit (hair follicles and sebaceous gland) typically caused by high sebum production. This leads to inflammation and clogging of pores on the face and body and can be hard to treat for some patients. Since the condition is chronic, it can be difficult to keep the skin clear if you are prone to acne development. (1)

Causes of acne include:

  • Genetic Predisposition
  • Oily Skin
  • Greasy Skincare Products
  • Hormones
  • High Skin Surface pH
  • Obesity
  • Stress
  • Vitamin D Deficiency
  • High Glycaemic Index Foods (Chocolate, Dairy Products)

Treating acne, no matter the cause, requires the use of rejuvenating treatments that can help clear the skin of active acne, correct scarring and discoloration from previous breakouts, and prevent future acne from developing. (1)

If you have acne and are looking for a milder approach to clearing your skin, we also offer acne facials.

17Medspa Acne Packages

17Medspa offers numerous acne treatment plans. With the help of powerful lasers, chemical peels, and extraction, these packages work together to clear your acne and add life back into your skin.

Treatment Specifics

Our acne treatments work in combination to offer the most effective solutions for acne-prone skin. Each treatment plan is customizable and can be personalized for specific patients and skin types. Your package may include a combination of the following treatments:

AGNES RFHI

This device utilizes both radio frequency (RF) and microneedling to resurface the skin and inject it with hyaluronic filler to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is safe to use for facial folds near the eyes, mouth, forehead, and neck. (2)

Secret RF

Utilizing the same treatment steps as AGNES, Secret RF is a device that emits heat to cause controlled damage to the skin’s surface layer. This promotes collagen production to regenerate the skin after the damaged layer is removed.

Platinum PTT

Platinum PTT Regenerating Ampoule” is suitable for skin rejuvenation, acne, and enlarged pores. Platinum PTT Skin Regenerating Ampoule contains highly concentrated platinum powder Sodium Hyaluronate that brings out your expressive beauty while relaxing your skin. The ampoule activates the skin’s natural regeneration mechanism and amplifies its youthfulness and radiance.

VI Peel

The VI Peel is a chemical peel treatment that targets a medium depth into the epidermis and surface-level dermis of the patient. It is composed of mild yet effective acids that target and cause damage to the skin. This promotes the production of new collagen and skin cells, leading to total rejuvenation.

Erbium YAG Laser

An Erbium YAG (Er:YAG) Laser treatment incorporates an aluminum garnet device that uses an infrared laser to target water in the skin. This causes a thermal effect and resurfacing without damaging the surrounding tissue or the deeper dermal layers. (3)

Acne packages can also be customized to include any of the following additions:

The main difference between acne packages is the order of treatments. Each package is customizable and can be slightly altered to fit the needs of each individual patient. To make sure your skin is taken care of before, during, and after the treatments, the packages also include pore extraction and skincare to keep you glowing while your acne is being treated.

Benefits of Acne Packages

Each package is selectively planned to give our patients the best chance at renewed and rejuvenated skin. Our well-trained and experienced aestheticians created each one with patient care in mind while prioritizing safety and efficacy as well.

Since each package is curated specifically for acne treatment, there are no unnecessary steps in your way to regenerating beautiful skin. You and your provider will pick the best package for your specific needs during your initial consultation with us in Buena Park.

Ideal Candidates

Whether you have always struggled with severe acne, or you have accumulated stubborn blemishes during hormonal changes, anyone with acne can benefit from these combination treatment packages. It can be discouraging and embarrassing to have visible acne, especially when it appears around your facial features. These acne packages are meant to relieve patients from the stress that can bring.

You do not make an ideal candidate for these treatments if you have any underlying health conditions that affect your ability to heal. If you develop keloids often or scar easily, some of the laser treatments will not be right for you. However, these packages can be customized to the needs of the patient. If you struggle with acne in any way, consider scheduling a consultation with us to see which treatment package is best for you.

Personal Consultation at 17Medspa

Your first appointment at 17Medspa is spent with a consultant. They perform a thorough examination of the treatment area to determine the best approach. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions and voice your concerns to make sure you get the best treatments possible.

In order to achieve the skin you have always wanted, you must use this time wisely. Come prepared with a detailed history of your skin imperfections and overall health. If this appointment occurs while you have an active breakout, your first treatment session will be scheduled for a later date.

Preparation

Please show up to your initial appointment with a freshly cleansed face. Avoid the application of harsh topical products for at least two weeks beforehand. These include anything with retinol or vitamin C as they can irritate the skin and negatively impact your treatment. If you are undergoing an ablative laser treatment, make sure to refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications for a week leading up to your consultation to avoid excessive bleeding. If you are a smoker, please refrain for at least 2 weeks leading up to any of your treatments.

Treatment Recovery & Results

Each package involves AGNES treatment. This is an ablative laser that induces skin resurfacing. In order to prevent over-damaging the skin barrier, we incorporate 3 to 4 week gaps between visits. This allows your skin to heal in between the minimally-invasive treatments so you can safely receive the next step in your package.

Patients typically receive their acne treatments in 3 to 6 visits to 17Medspa. To ensure your satisfaction, we monitor your progress as you go to make sure your skin is ready for the next step.

Throughout the package treatment process, you will notice results slowly as your skin heals. It may take a while to appreciate these results fully, but many patients can notice a difference in their acne within the first month, right after the first few treatments. It depends on your skin type, acne severity, and your normal healing times.

Cost of Acne Packages in Buena Park

The total cost of your acne package is determined by what your skin needs and what treatments will work best to treat your acne. If you have mild or occasional acne, you will likely benefit from a simpler plan like package 1 or 4. This is determined by the practitioner during your initial consultation at 17Medspa.

If you are ready to tackle your stubborn acne, please don’t hesitate to call our Buena Park location at (714) 224-9010 or (714) 332-7009 or fill out this form to schedule your personal consultation.

FAQ

Are extraction procedures recommended for acne?

Extraction procedures involve the manual removal of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples using sterile tools. While this procedure can provide immediate relief by clearing clogged pores, it should only be performed by a trained professional to minimize the risk of infection and scarring.

How do laser treatments help with acne?

Laser treatments, such as laser resurfacing or photodynamic therapy (PDT), can target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. These non-invasive procedures work by delivering controlled energy to the skin, effectively killing bacteria and promoting skin rejuvenation. Laser treatments can be a valuable option for individuals who have not responded well to other acne treatments.

What can I do after a laser treatment to protect and preserve my results?

It is good practice to always wear adequate sun protection at all times when you are exposed to UV rays of any kind. Always remember to wear sunscreen when outside, and apply a moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated.

Can the treatments within the acne packages help with acne scarring and pigmentation?

Laser treatments like AGNES and the Er:YAG laser can help break up scar tissue and discoloration from frequent acne breakouts. Ablative treatments like these incorporate controlled damage to restructure the skin’s collagen and promote healing.
