What Are the Best Teen Acne Treatments?
It’s hard to believe it’s almost winter break, and the kids will be home for some “quality time” pretty soon. If your son or daughter is suffering from acne, the holiday break can be the perfect time to schedule an appointment for one of our highly effective teen acne treatments.
School can be fraught with a lack of self-confidence, and concerns about appearance, for teenagers who are suffering from unsightly acne. But with our state-of-the-art acne treatments you can send your son or daughter back to school with clear skin and renewed confidence.
Why At Home Teen Acne Treatments Don’t Work
In spite of your best efforts – and the many OTC acne treatments you buy – at-home acne treatment usually just is not enough to keep pimples at bay. And, frustratingly, many attempts at at-home acne remedies actually make break-outs worse instead of better!
One common at home treatment – using steam before extracting pimples – is actually really bad for skin if you have acne. This is because the steam actually also enlarges the oil glands – worsens acne! And, while some at-home facials can improve acne, other facials can actually make the acne considerable worse by irritating the skin and contributing to the spread of pimple-causing bacteria.
So it is important to take your teen to a medical facility with a doctor who treats acne – like Better U Medical Spa – and not rely on at home remedies.
Teen Acne Treatments: Facials & Chemical Peels
At better U Medical Spa in the greater Hoboken area, we offer the specifically designed Vi Peel – a gentle yet powerful clinical-grade chemical peel for treating acne and acne scarring. The ViPeel acne facial gently removes dead skin cells – and this is important – without irritating skin. Medical strength acne medication is then applied to the affected areas to eradicate the pimple-causing bacteria.
At Better U Medical Spa in the Hobocken area clinical strength Salicylic Acid is one of active components in the Vi Peel for beating acne. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that is highly soluble, enabling it to penetrate the pores of the skin and attack pimples at their source.
Salicylic acid literally penetrates the skin to dissolve the intercellular matter that is clogging. And, in addition to treating acne, salicylic acid also serves to sooth irritated skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it lowers skin oil (sebum) secretion, to help reduce future acne breakouts!

Laser Teen Acne Treatments
At our Hoboken area medical spa, we are also proud to provide the latest and most advanced methods of laser teen acne treatments.
Breakouts of acne occur when the skin’s pores and follicles become blocked by sebaceous glands. Such blockages trap bacteria beneath the skin, where it is free to grow and cause pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and even deep cysts or nodules to develop. But while this process is decidedly unpleasant, thanks to the laser teen acne treatments available at Better U Med Spa in the Hoboken area, solutions are available.
Laser teen acne treatments involve administering the affected skin with direct pulses of specific light frequency, which is then absorbed by the blood vessels’ hemoglobin – the source of nourishment for the patient’s sebaceous glands. Meanwhile, the laser’s heat energy causes damage to the walls of the vessels responsible for supplying the sebaceous glands with blood. This inhibits their ability to produce the waxy, oily “sebum” responsible for breakouts. To see if laser teen acne treatment is right for you or your teen, contact our Hoboken area facility today for a consultation.
