Acne Treatment in Houston, TX

No one is immune from Acne.  Ranging from mild to severe, Acne can affect men and women of any age, race, or skin type.  Acne is the most common skin disease; over sixty million Americans will experience breakouts sometime during their life.  The red or purple pimples can appear not only on the face but also the neck, back, arms, and sometimes the posterior thighs.  Those who suffer from Acne may experience a loss of confidence and self-esteem.  Unfortunately, almost 40% of Acne sufferers never seek out professional help with their skin, often because they do not know what treatments are available today.

The Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique offers our patients cutting-edge Acne treatments, designed to safely and comprehensively treat breakouts, and improve the appearance of the skin.  These procedures can be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and skin type.  While singular treatment can make a noticeable improvement in the skin’s appearance, a combination of therapies is often required to achieve optimal results.  To determine the best short-term and long-term treatments for each individual, we offer patients a complimentary Acne consultation.

Causes of Acne:

Acne is caused by overactive oil glands, an accumulation of dead skin cells, and the growth of bacteria on the skin.  These can eventually clog the pores, resulting in red, irritated pimples.  Shifting hormone levels can affect skin breakouts, as well; this is the reason why many teens, pregnant women, older adults often experience Acne.  Poor diet, stress, and inadequate sleep can also contribute to these hormonal changes.  Items such as makeup, sunscreen, and hair styling products will further clog pores and trap in the oil/dirt that causes Acne. *

Tips for Acne Suffers:

  • Keep your hands off of your face, as they carry a large amount of bacteria.
  • Do not ‘pop’ pimples.  This can both spread bacteria and cause scarring.
  • Change your pillowcase often.  Dirt and oil accumulate here night after night, which are then repeatedly exposed to the skin.   
  • Keep your face free of sweat, as this can accelerate the development of pimples.
  • Both physical and emotional stress can cause breakouts, try to reduce stress as much strain as possible. 
  • Eat well.  A proper diet including plenty of water is a must for healthy skin.
  • Get eight hours of sleep a night.  Plenty of rest helps keep you stress free and confident to follow a healthy lifestyle.
  • Avoid hats, headbands, and helmets.  They hold an accumulation of sweat and dirt, causing Acne breakouts across the hairline and forehead.
  • Do not waste money on useless products.  See your cosmetic surgeon for advice on the right, quality products for your skin.
  • Clean your cell phone often.  This is a breeding place for germs and bacteria.

The Ideal Candidate for Acne Treatment:

Anyone troubled with Acne breakouts or scarring may make a good candidate for skin treatments.  Both men and women, dealing with Acne on their face, neck, or body can benefit from a noninvasive procedure; many of which can provide an alternative to traditional oral medications.  Patients should be in generally good health and have reasonable expectations for Acne treatment. *

Acne Treatments available at the Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique:

A variety of Acne treatments are available at the Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique.  Patients dealing with intermittent, minor breakouts, as well as constant, severe Acne, can find a dramatic improvement under the guidance of a physician or skilled esthetician.  The right procedure will depend on an individual’s skin type, location of the breakout, and extent of correction needed.  During a consultation appointment, we will review your medical history and perform a brief skin evaluation, to determine the best Acne treatment for your unique situation.

To address the causes of Acne, and deter further breakouts, our team can recommend various physician-grade skin care products, clarifying facials, mineral makeup, and in some instances, antibiotics.  Procedures that can dramatically improve the appearance of Acne scarring can include LimeLight IPL, Laser Genesis, Dermabrasion, and Chemical Peels. *
