A Personalized Approach to Combating Acne

Acne can affect both adolescent and adult patients and can be a source of self-consciousness and concern. Although acne affects patients of all ages and skin types and tones, each person requires a personalized approach to address the contributing factors

At Illuminate Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Palo Alto & San Jose, we take a specialized approach to treating acne through our extensive knowledge, experience, and the most effective acne treatments in San Jose & Palo Alto on the market today. During your consultation and throughout your acne treatment Palo Alto & San Jose aestheticians at Illuminate will assess your acne to create your best path to clearer skin.

What is Acne?

Contrary to popular belief, acne is not a product of your diet, lifestyle, or hygiene. However, in patients predisposed to acne, these factors may impact its severity. Acne has three primary causes:

  • Overactive sebaceous glands that produce an excessive amount of sebum (or the oil that lubricates your skin)
  • Problems relating to the shedding of skin cells
  • The production of acne-causing bacteria

In order to treat acne effectively and for the long-term, its critical to understand and address its cause. Our licensed San Jose & Palo Alto aestheticians will work with you to develop an optimized treatment program that will give you the blemish-free complexion you've always wanted.

Which Acne Treatment Is Right For Me?

We have a solution to your acne. Our Palo Alto & San Jose acne treatment recommendations depend on the type of acne and its cause. Everyone is different, so treatment plans should be too. Our personalized, rigorous, and results-driven approach to clearing acne typically includes a combination of acne-targeting medical-grade skincare, hydrafacials, and chemical peels. In some cases we may later recommend lasers or microneedling.

Clearing acne and acne scars also requires patience. Addressing the deeper layers of skin can take some time. While you can expect to see great results after only 30 days, the entire process can take about three months. It is a process that takes time and daily commitment to the prescribed skincare regimen.

VI Peels

Illuminate aesthetician Jessica Torregroza often recommends the Purify with Precision Plus by VI Peels as an effective acne-fighting chemical peel. As a Certified VI Peel Specialist, Jessica will use the peel to fight active acne, but also to address acne scarring, stimulate collagen, kill acne-causing bacteria, and reduce acne-causing oil production. Acne-specific chemical peels are proven to brighten up any pigment left behind from acne scars and improve the tone, texture, and appearance of healthy skin.

Acne Protocols with Medical-Grade Skincare

Illuminate also carries some of the best at-home skin care protocols and medical-grade products from top brands like ZO, Jan Marini, and Face Reality.

Ongoing Skin Assessment & Treatment

At Illuminate we believe in helping you at every step of your skincare journey and we’ll monitor your progress to make sure your personalized skincare regimen gives you the best results. In severe cases such as cystic acne, we may also recommend that you also work with your primary care physician or dermatologist to see if an oral medication or change in diet could be needed to promote better results.
