Dealing with acne can be frustrating and emotionally taxing, affecting your appearance as well as your self-esteem.

At NewSkin, we understand the impact acne can have on your life, and we're here to help. Our compassionate team offers advanced, personalized treatments designed to target the root causes of acne, helping you achieve clear, radiant skin and renewed confidence.

Understanding Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells and causes the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and sometimes cysts or nodules. Acne can appear on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, and while it's most prevalent among teenagers due to hormonal changes, it can affect people of all ages.
Understanding the underlying causes of your acne is essential for effective treatment. Our specialists at NewSkin will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the factors contributing to your breakouts.

Several factors contribute to acne development, including the following:

Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially androgens, can increase sebum production, leading to clogged pores.
Bacteria: The presence of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on the skin can inflame clogged follicles.
Genetics: A family history of acne can increase your likelihood of developing the condition.
Lifestyle Factors: Stress, diet, and certain skincare products can exacerbate acne.

Treatment Options for Acne

At NewSkin, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced treatments tailored to your specific skin type and acne severity. Our goal is to not only clear existing acne but also prevent future breakouts and minimize scarring.

HydraFacial

The HydraFacial is a gentle yet effective treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and hydrates the skin. It helps unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and infuse the skin with nourishing serums, leaving your complexion refreshed and revitalized.

VI Peel

The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that targets acne and acne scarring by exfoliating the top layers of skin and promoting cell turnover. It helps reduce inflammation, kill acne-causing bacteria, and stimulate collagen production for smoother, clearer skin.

Morpheus8

Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 stimulates deep skin rejuvenation. This treatment reduces active acne, minimizes scarring, and improves skin texture by promoting collagen and elastin production.

BroadBand Light (BBL)

BBL therapy uses light energy to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. It also helps diminish redness and pigmentation associated with acne, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Customized Skincare Regimens

Our experts will develop a personalized at-home skincare plan using medical-grade products that address your specific skin concerns. This regimen may include cleansers, topical treatments, and moisturizers formulated to control oil production and prevent breakouts.

Benefits of Treating Acne

Effective acne treatment offers more than just clearer skin—it can significantly improve your quality of life. Key benefits of treating acne include the following:

Clearer Complexion: Reduce breakouts and prevent new ones from forming, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Improved Skin Texture: Minimize acne scars and uneven texture through advanced treatments that promote skin regeneration.
Boosted Confidence: Achieve a clearer complexion that helps you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
