A Balanced Approach to Acne

Although struggling with acne can feel very isolating, it is actually the most common skin concern in the US. Particularly among adults, as more than 50% of women aged 20 to 29 and 35.2% of women aged 30 to 39 experience acne.  

For many people who have acne, the skin disease affects more than their appearance. Acne can take a toll on one’s emotional health, causing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and poor self-image. But there is good news. New products are continually being developed to treat and reduce acne outbreaks. Continuous learning and education are at the core of Timeless Skin Solutions, so we are excited to be able to offer these newest advances to our adult and teenage patients.

SkinMedica’s Dynamic Acne-Fighting Duo

Conventional acne treatments tend to go all out in targeting bacteria and sebum (the oily substance secreted by glands in our skin), excessively drying out skin in the process.  

For those struggling with acne, this aggressive approach can cause problems, since we need a healthy dose of sebum to maintain our skin’s overall health and quality. Stripping it all away can seriously compromise our skin’s protective barrier, accelerating the aging process and leaving it vulnerable to scarring and hyperpigmentation. The key is finding balance. Rather than annihilating all sebum, those with acne should focus on managing sebum while respecting the skin’s natural barrier.   

The newest products from SkinMedica®  – Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser and Acne Clarifying Treatment – offer a comprehensive solution to adult skin needs that can help reduce acne. Together, they deliver the gentle exfoliation and skin renewal methods needed to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells, unclog and minimize pores, and strengthen the skin barrier, resulting in a healthier, glowing complexion.   

• Pore Purifying Gel Cleanser: This gentle cleanser uses clinically proven ingredients to dissolve makeup, oil, and impurities while supporting the skin’s barrier and improving texture.  

• Acne Clarifying Treatment: This treatment combines a new proprietary Sebum Balance Complex with time-released salicylic acid and niacinamide to balance sebum, address acne-causing blockages, and reduce visible redness – all without drying out the skin. This breakthrough technology is clinically proven to reduce acne, visible redness, and oiliness for all skin tones and types in just 24 hours. 

AviClear – The ‘Holy Grail’ of Acne Treatment

Also, at Timeless, we have the first and original FDA-cleared energy device for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe acne, AviClear. It specifically targets the source of the oil produced by your skin. After treatment, your skin will produce less oil, and your acne will get better and stay better.  

The results of AviClear are permanent.  

With just three thirty-minute sessions, AviClear provides lasting acne improvement without significant side effects. Patients can expect Accutane results without the hassle and side effects of this long-standing acne medication. 

In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear treatment. In fact, of patients in the clinical trial who responded to treatment, 80% saw at least half of their acne clear, and nine out of 10 patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their results within six months after their final treatment. 

When it comes to fighting acne, finding the right balance is key. With the help of innovative treatments and personalized care from Timeless providers, achieving skin that exudes confidence and vitality is within reach. Book your consultation today!
