Clear stubborn breakouts and restore your skin’s clarity with acne treatments at Advanced Health & Wellness. Whether you’re dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, painful cystic acne, or lingering acne scars, we offer prescriptive solutions tailored to you, helping you achieve a smoother, healthier complexion at every stage of life.
Reduce blemishes and prevent new flare-ups
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or deeper cysts. While it’s often associated with adolescence, acne can affect people of all ages. At AHW, we offer acne treatments that go beyond surface care. We use prescriptive medications, such as antibiotics or topical therapies, to target the root causes of breakouts, reduce inflammation, and promote clearer, healthier skin with lasting results.
Acne treatment can help with:
- Blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores
- Red, inflamed pimples that are painful to touch
- Deep cystic acne that can lead to scarring
- Excess oil production contributing to acne flare-ups
- Dark spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Acne-related scarring that affects skin smoothness
- Uneven skin texture from past breakouts
How acne treatment works
Acne develops when bacteria, oil, and dead skin cells trigger inflammation within the pores. Prescription acne treatments aim to target these underlying causes, rather than just treating surface blemishes. By reducing bacteria and calming inflammation, your skin can heal and prevent future breakouts more effectively.
Oral antibiotics
Oral antibiotics work from the inside out, reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria in your system and calming skin inflammation. This helps shrink painful pimples and prevent new flare-ups, making them especially useful for moderate to severe acne.
Topical clindamycin
Topical clindamycin is applied directly to the skin to target acne-causing bacteria. It helps reduce redness, swelling, and tenderness around pimples while preventing new breakouts. When used consistently, clindamycin can keep pores clear and minimize flare-ups.
Benefits of acne treatment:
- Targets the root causes of breakouts, not just the surface
- Reduces acne-causing bacteria for clearer skin
- Calms redness, swelling, and painful inflammation
- Prevents new pimples and clogged pores from forming
- Helps fade dark spots and post-acne marks
- Minimizes the risk of long-term scarring
- Improves overall skin texture and smoothness
Acne treatment FAQs
What happens during an acne treatment appointment?
During your visit, we’ll start by carefully examining your skin and discussing your history with acne. This helps us identify the type of acne you’re experiencing, whether it’s blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory pimples, or deeper cysts. Based on your unique needs, we may recommend prescription medications such as oral antibiotics or topical clindamycin. In some cases, additional treatments or supportive skincare may be suggested.
How long does it take to see results from treatment?
Acne doesn’t clear up overnight, and it’s important to have realistic expectations. Most people begin noticing improvement within 4 to 6 weeks. Redness and inflammation typically improve first, followed by a decrease in active breakouts. Long-term results, such as smoother skin and fewer scars, typically become more noticeable after several months.
