Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic breakouts. It can affect the face, chest, back, and shoulders—and while it’s most common in teens, many adults continue to struggle with acne into their 30s, 40s, and beyond. With the right treatment plan, clear skin is possible.
Acne has a variety of causes, many of which are internal. At REVIVAL, we look beyond the surface to help uncover and address what’s driving your breakouts. Common triggers include:
Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in hormones can cause increased oil production and clogged pores.
Bacteria (C. acnes): This bacteria lives on the skin and can inflame clogged pores.
Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can lead to buildup and breakouts.
Inflammation: Inflammatory responses may trigger cystic or painful breakouts.
Diet, Stress & Lifestyle: High-sugar diets, stress, and poor gut health can all contribute.
Most patients need three to six sessions, depending on the treatment type and acne severity. Options like Hydrafacial and BBL HEROic work best when performed in a series at REVIVAL.
Discomfort is minimal. Most treatments, like Hydrafacial and chemical peels in Midland, TX, are gentle, while microneedling is well-tolerated with numbing applied beforehand.
Most acne treatments involve little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or peeling after chemical peels or Exion RF Microneedling, which typically resolves within a few days.
You may notice improvement after the first session, especially in skin clarity and texture. Full results develop gradually over multiple treatments as skin heals and inflammation decreases.
Our team at REVIVAL will evaluate your skin type, acne triggers, and goals to create a customized acne treatment plan that works for your unique needs.
