The Best Teen Acne Treatments for Homecoming
September marks the return to school for Grand Rapids teens. And after many pandemic cancellations in the last couple years, high school students are looking forward to enjoying in-person classes and face-to-face social events.
Of course, the Fall Homecoming Dance and the Spring Prom are two of the biggest social milestones for high schoolers! The memories – and the photographs – of those special occasions will last a lifetime. But acne and other skin problems can make a teen boy or girl feel unattractive and self-conscious on such an important big day.
The good news is that, thanks to modern teen acne treatments, no young adult has to suffer through the stigma and insecurity caused by pimples and breakouts on their big day! SpaMedica in Grand Rapids offers the latest teen acne treatments for boys and girls that can give them clear, blemish-free, glowing skin on the day of the Homecoming dance – and every day.
Teen Acne Treatments Have Come a Long Way
At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, we offer the latest and most advanced teen acne treatments. Many parents of teens may not know these acne treatments exist, since they weren’t available a generation ago!
Many “Gen X” parents of today’s “Gen Z” teens remember the days of trying unsuccessfully to get rid of embarrassing acne with nothing but drugstore Clearasil®. Some of the luckier kids had parents who bought them mail order Proactiv® advertised on TV – but also with limited results.
These topical treatments did offer some minor help in reducing mild acne breakouts – but did nothing to help severe, cystic or nodular acne breakouts. The reason these acne treatments do little, is that topical treatments alone cannot fully clean out the pores.
DiamondGlow Teen Acne Treatment
Today’s teens are much luckier when it comes to treating acne. A highly effective and extremely affordable teen acne treatment called DiamondGlow is now available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids. This new technology applies three treatments simultaneously to clear teen skin pimples and breakouts – with no downtime afterwards.
State-of-the-art DiamondGlow is a patented microdermabrasion system that was previously called “Dermalinfusion”. This procedure exfoliates, extracts impurities, and nourishes skin for unparalleled acne-reduction – with no pain.
DiamondGlow microdermabrasion is 100% natural, so it is safe for almost everybody including teenagers, including adolescents with sensitive skin. And, unlike many other harsh acne treatments, gentle DiamondGlow is completely safe for individuals with darker skin tones.
Additionally, unlike many acne prevention treatments, DiamondGlow acne treatments can be applied during active acne eruptions to reduce and eliminate existing pimples and lesions.
How DiamondGlow Teen Acne Treatments Work
Acne breakouts are the result of oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and dirt that plug the hair follicles (pores). This traps bacteria, causing an infection to develop that triggers inflammation (redness) and pus, which eventually erupts into unsightly pimples.
DiamondGlow teen acne treatment is a “three-in-one” process that fights acne multiple ways. First, exfoliation is accomplished with a special diamond tip, that gently buffs away the top layer of dead, dry, and damaged skin cells.
Simultaneously, the DiamondGlow tip delivers a low-pressure vacuum that sucks out the dead skin cells, and extracts the dirt, oil, “gunk” and bacteria that is clogging the pores.
At the same time, DiamondGlow’s pressurized handpiece infuses specially selected acne-fighting, skin-nourishing serums deep into the pores. For treating teen acne, a special Pore Clarifying Pro-Infusion Serum is used, containing clinical-strength salicylic acid and other acne-fighting ingredients.
Salicylic acid not only kills the specific bacteria that cause acne (Propionibacterium acnes or P. acnes), it also reduces the production of skin oil. This helps prevent future teen acne breakouts, in addition to clearing up the adolescents’ current pimples.
Teen Back Acne Treatment
And let’s not forget that the face is not the only area of the body where teens get acne. Many adolescents – especially teen boys – also experience acne breakouts on their backs. This can be especially embarrassing for a teen when changing in the locker room for sports or gym class, or when swimming shirtless with friends.
DiamondGlow treatments can also be performed on the back at Spa Medica in Grand Rapids MedSpa to help clear up teen “back-ne” – so that your teen boy is not self-conscious or embarrassed to take their shirt off in front of their peers.
