Acne remains one of the most common skin concerns, affecting both teens and adults. While it can be challenging to manage, modern advancements in skincare have made it easier to treat the underlying causes and improve skin clarity. With the right approach, even stubborn acne and post-acne scars can become a thing of the past.
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Factors like hormonal fluctuations, genetics, stress, and certain skincare products can worsen the condition. Acne manifests in various forms, including blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and nodules, and can leave scars or discoloration without proper treatment.
Advances in technology have brought highly effective options for acne treatment. Here are some of the most sought-after solutions available in 2025:
Chemical Peels: These treatments use medical-grade solutions to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and encouraging new, healthy skin growth. They are particularly effective for reducing acne scars and improving skin texture.
DiamondGlow®: Combining exfoliation, extraction, and infusion, this treatment deeply cleanses pores while delivering nourishing serums directly to the skin. It’s a gentle yet effective option for managing acne and maintaining a clear complexion.
Morpheus8: This advanced microneedling device uses radiofrequency energy to target acne scars, stimulate collagen production, and tighten skin. It’s an excellent choice for addressing both active acne and residual scarring.
Lumecca IPL: Intense Pulsed Light therapy targets redness and discoloration associated with acne. It also kills acne-causing bacteria, making it ideal for treating active breakouts and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The recovery time depends on the specific treatment chosen. Chemical peels may require a few days to a week for peeling and redness to subside. DiamondGlow® typically has no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. Treatments like Morpheus8 and Lumecca IPL may result in mild redness or swelling, which usually resolves within a few days. Dr. Tenley Lawton will recommend the best options based on your skin’s condition and your lifestyle.
Results vary depending on the treatment, but patients often notice smoother skin texture, reduced acne lesions, and a more even complexion. Chemical peels and Morpheus8 can significantly reduce acne scars over time, while DiamondGlow® and Lumecca IPL deliver immediate improvements in skin clarity. Regular maintenance treatments can help keep your skin clear and healthy for the long term.
Whether you’re dealing with active acne, scarring, or discoloration, Dr. Tenley Lawton offers customized solutions to help you achieve your skincare goals. With advanced treatments and a personalized approach, you can enjoy a clearer, more radiant complexion in 2025 and beyond.
