What causes acne?

Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. While it’s especially common during the teenage years, acne can continue into adulthood or develop later in life.

Several factors can contribute to breakouts, including:

• Hormonal changes
• Excess oil production
• Clogged pores
• Certain skincare or cosmetic products
• Stress
• Genetics
• Certain medications

Acne can also appear in different forms, from blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed pimples, nodules, or cysts. Understanding what may be contributing to your breakouts helps Elizabeth develop a more personalized approach to your skin.

How is acne treated?

Acne treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Eli & Co. Aesthetics, Elizabeth evaluates your skin, breakout patterns, current skincare routine, and goals before recommending a treatment plan.

Depending on your needs, your plan may include professional treatments, customized skincare recommendations, or a combination of approaches designed to improve active breakouts and support healthier-looking skin over time.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels can be an effective addition to an acne-focused skincare plan. These treatments use carefully selected ingredients to exfoliate the skin and remove dead cells that can contribute to clogged pores.

Depending on your skin type and concerns, Elizabeth can recommend an appropriate peel to help improve breakouts, uneven tone, post-acne discoloration, and mild acne scarring. Eli & Co. Aesthetics offers several customizable peel options, including BioRePeel, Saitas TCA Peel 10%, and blended AHA and peptide peels.

Can you treat acne scars?

Even after active acne improves, scars, dark spots, and uneven texture can remain. Eli & Co. Aesthetics offers acne scar treatments personalized to the type and severity of scarring you have.

Depending on your skin, Elizabeth may recommend chemical peels or other skin-rejuvenation treatments to improve texture and promote a smoother, more even-looking complexion. Certain treatments can also support collagen production and skin renewal, gradually improving the appearance of some acne scars.

Because acne scars vary in depth and appearance, Elizabeth evaluates your skin before recommending the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments.

How can I get started with acne treatment?

Your first step is a personalized skin consultation. Elizabeth can assess your active breakouts, acne scars, skin type, and current routine to determine which treatments may be appropriate.

For a more detailed look at your complexion, she can also use the Aura Reality skin camera to capture a comprehensive 3D skin analysis. From there, the team can develop a customized plan focused on managing breakouts, improving existing acne scars, and supporting clearer, healthier-looking skin.
