You wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day, apply topical medications to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and use non-comedogenic skincare and makeup products to avoid clogging your pores.
While your diligent routine keeps your complexion relatively clear of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads most of the time, your acne-prone skin still leaves you vulnerable to sporadic breakouts — often at the worst possible time for your social life.
Dr. Patrick Keehan and our team at Keehan Dermatology have a game-changing solution: regular Hydrafacial™ treatments that are customized to maintain clear pores, balance oil production, and disrupt the acne breakout cycle for good.
A standard three-step Hydrafacial treatment uses advanced Vortex Fusion® technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, hydrate, and protect your skin in one continuous process:
Custom HydroPeel® applicator tips and targeted boosters tailor your experience to your exact skin needs, ensuring that even a basic three-step Hydrafacial works exceptionally well at calming active breakouts and soothing acne-prone skin.
Instead of using harsh scrubs or manual extraction tools that can irritate and inflame acne, the Hydrafacial vortex-fusion system deeply cleanses, gently exfoliates, and thoroughly hydrates your skin while targeting your specific acne issues.
But where Hydrafacial really shines is through the addition of advanced customization options — from acne-calming serums to LED light therapy — that work to soothe inflammation and disrupt the breakout cycle. You may benefit from:
The right customization options depend on your specific acne type, as determined by Dr. Keehan during a preliminary skin evaluation.
Hydrafacial customization strategies for acne control may include:
Let’s take a closer look at a typical Hydrafacial process for acne-prone skin:
The clarifying GlySal™ peel uses a light, pH-balanced blend of salicylic and glycolic acids to gently slough off dead skin cells and dissolve pore-clogging debris.
Vortex suction acts like a gentle “pore vacuum” to lift out dirt, blackheads, and whiteheads — all without causing redness or microtears in your skin. We can adjust suction strength to provide enhanced exfoliation for deep congestion or very oily skin types.
Unlike harsh treatments that strip the skin barrier and aggravate acne, Hydrafacial infuses your skin with hyaluronic acid (HA) and antioxidants to support a well-hydrated skin barrier and balanced oil glands. This helps prevent the kind of over-drying that can trigger intensive “rebound” oil production.
The Hydrafacial process is well-tolerated by even the most sensitive acne-prone skin. We finish your treatment with targeted boosters, including custom serums to deliver active ingredients directly into the skin and LED light therapy to calm redness or eliminate acne-causing bacteria.
Hydrafacial is highly effective for improving mild to moderate acne, providing immediate skin smoothness after a single session. Even better, it can actively disrupt the breakout cycle over a series of monthly treatments.
As a regular part of your acne care arsenal, Hydrafacial helps:
In fact, clinical research shows that after just five monthly Hydrafacial treatments with clarifying serums and blue LED light therapy, 100% of people had significantly clearer skin, and 95% of people reported less oil and congestion.
