Acne Breakouts
Are you struggling with the frustration of acne breakouts? If the answer is yes, then you are not alone! Very few people are lucky enough to avoid pimples, even as adults. Studies have shown that up to 85% of all women and 15% of all men may experience mild to moderate breakouts well into their 40s. Learn how you can treat your acne with products and procedures offered at the Centre for Pure Skin.
The Ideal Candidate for In-Office Acne Treatments
The ideal candidate for our in-office acne treatments is someone experiencing mild to moderate breakouts — including skin congestion, clogged pores, or occasional flare-ups that haven’t responded well to over-the-counter products alone. These concerns respond well to professional treatments such as regular extractions, chemical peels, and specialty facials designed to clear congestion and support healthier, clearer skin.
For patients managing more severe, widespread, cystic, or systemic acne, a visit to a dermatologist is the most appropriate next step, as they can identify underlying causes and prescribe targeted medications. While we do not prescribe acne medications, we proudly offer evidence-based, physician-dispensed skincare products that complement your treatment plan and help keep breakouts under control between visits.
A Professional Skincare Consultation
During your initial appointment, our aesthetic experts will evaluate the severity of your acne, review your medical history, and carefully consider your skin type to create a treatment plan that best fits your needs—even if it means that plan is to refer you to a dermatologist. While we offer several effective procedures and products that can improve breakouts, patients experiencing some types of acne symptoms may benefit from solutions that are only offered by dermatology practices.
