Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting people of all ages, skin types, and tones. At Ginille Beauty Aesthetics, we understand that acne goes beyond just blemishes—it can impact your confidence and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts or chronic acne, we’re here to help. Here’s everything you need to know about treating acne and achieving clear, healthy skin.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when your pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Factors that contribute to acne include:
- Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can lead to clogged pores.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or stress can trigger breakouts.
- Bacteria: Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) bacteria can cause inflammation in clogged pores.
- Lifestyle and Environment: Poor skincare habits, stress, diet, and environmental factors like pollution can worsen acne.
Why Acne Affects Everyone Differently
Acne isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. It can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, and its severity depends on genetics, lifestyle, and skin type. For Black and Brown skin tones, acne can often lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—dark spots or discoloration that persist even after the acne clears.
At Ginille Beauty Aesthetics, we specialize in addressing acne in all skin tones while preventing and treating PIH for lasting, clear results.
How We Treat Acne at Ginille Beauty Aesthetics
1. Customized Professional Treatments
Professional care is key to effectively treating acne and preventing scarring or discoloration. Our acne-focused treatments include:
- Aerolase Laser Therapy: Aerolase is a cutting-edge laser treatment that reduces inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and regulates oil production. It’s gentle, safe for all skin tones, and has little to no downtime.
- SkinPen Microneedling: For acne scars, SkinPen stimulates collagen production to smooth and refine skin texture. This treatment is ideal for minimizing scarring and improving overall skin health.
- Hydrafacial with Red and Blue Light Therapy: Our Hydrafacial not only cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates but also includes red light therapy to reduce inflammation and boost collagen production and blue light therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria. This powerful combination helps treat active acne and prevent future breakouts. Red and blue light therapy can also be added to any other skin treatment for enhanced results.
- Cortisone Injections for Cystic Acne: For painful, inflamed cystic acne, we offer cortisone injections to quickly reduce swelling and discomfort while preventing the cyst from leaving behind a scar.
2. Prescription Skincare Solutions
In addition to our in-office treatments, we can prescribe and dispense prescription medications tailored to your specific needs. This may include topical treatments, oral medications, or specialized creams to address severe or persistent acne.
3. At-Home Skincare with JASI Skincare
Maintaining a consistent skincare routine at home is just as important as professional treatments. Our JASI Skincare line is designed to complement your in-office treatments and target acne effectively:
- Blemish Cleanse: A 10% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser that eliminates acne-causing bacteria while maintaining your skin’s moisture balance.
- Recovery Boost Serum: Reduces redness, soothes irritation, and protects your skin from free radicals with botanical antioxidants.
- Resurface RX: Combines retinol and bakuchiol to reduce breakouts, smooth skin texture, and fade discoloration.
- Crystal Clear Mineral SPF: Protects your skin from UV damage without clogging pores or leaving a white cast.
4. Lifestyle and Diet Recommendations
Acne isn’t just skin-deep—it can be influenced by your overall health. During your consultation, we’ll discuss:
- Diet: Foods high in sugar or dairy can trigger acne for some people. We’ll guide you on making skin-friendly dietary choices.
- Stress Management: Stress can worsen acne. We may recommend mindfulness practices or supplements to help manage stress.
- Consistency: Sticking to your skincare routine and treatment plan is critical for long-term success.
Acne and Skin of Color: Special Considerations
For patients with darker skin tones, acne can often leave behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). At Ginille Beauty Aesthetics, we use treatments that are safe and effective for all skin types and tones to not only treat active acne but also fade discoloration and prevent scarring.
Our goal is to create a personalized plan that addresses both the acne and its after-effects, so you can feel confident in your skin.
