Battling Breakouts: A Comprehensive Guide to Effective Acne Treatments
Most people will deal with acne at some point in their lives. Usually, the breakouts come and go with factors that fade, too, like your teenage years or a hormonal fluctuation.
If you persistently battle acne, it’s time to do something differently. Elaine Phuah, DO, MBA, FACOI, and our team are here to help. With extensive experience treating acne, we can tailor a plan to move you toward clear skin. Visit us at Hanami Medspa in Fort Worth, Texas, to get started.
Usually, we walk people with acne through the following categories.
Starting with an at-home skincare regimen
Dr. Phuah and our team can usually help people get their skin about 80% clear with the right at-home products and routine. We often recommend Hanami Proskincare because we’ve seen how effective they can combat acne.
When you visit Dr. Phuah, she tailors a regimen to your specific skin type. With active ingredients that target the specific kind(s) of acne affecting you—whether that’s whiteheads, hormonal acne, or another form—we can help your skin heal.
Tailoring a plan to your skin
While some people get completely clear skin by changing their at-home skin routine, many people who battle breakouts need more. Dr. Phuah offers a range of options to help you banish even the most stubborn acne.
Those include:
- Topical or oral medications
- Chemical peels
- Neo Elite laser treatment
- M22™ intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment
With these options, Dr. Phuah can target the acne that causes bacteria, control oil production, and minimize inflammation while encouraging healthy skin cell regeneration.
Many of these treatments require multiple appointments to work their best. Dr. Phuah creates a plan for you based on your skin’s unique needs.
Addressing acne scars
If your breakouts have left their mark, Dr. Phuah and our team can help you address scars and uneven pigmentation with treatments like:
- SkinPen microneedling
- ResurFX laser skin resurfacing
- Radiofrequency microneedling
- Dermal Fillers
With the right plan to address any scarring or hyperpigmentation that past acne has left behind, Dr. Phuah can help you get your best skin. You get a way to address not just active breakouts but the reminders of past ones. This way, you can move toward your clearest, most even complexion.
Your skin is as unique as you are. Fortunately, because Dr. Phuah has extensive expertise in treating acne for a wide range of people, she can help you create the personalized plan you need to move toward your skin goals. To get started, call Hanami Medspa or make an appointment online.
