What Is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects the hair follicles and oil glands. It causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, often on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne can be caused by factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, bacteria, excess oil production, and clogged pores. Acne severity can range from mild to severe and affects both teenagers and adults. Effective treatment options range from over-the-counter remedies to prescription medications and professional skincare treatments, tailored to the individual’s skin type and specific needs.

Acne Treatments We Offer

During a consultation at our Tampa office, your provider will recommend a treatment designed to treat the type of acne you are experiencing. We offer both topical and minimally invasive acne treatments, including:

Antibiotics can treat acne by targeting bacteria that contribute to inflammation and infection in the skin, helping reduce lesions and promote clearer skin.

  • Average duration: 6 to 12 weeks of consistent usage

What Are Some of the Signs of Acne

Acne can appear on virtually any part of your body, including the face, forehead, chest, shoulders, back, and even the legs, arms, and buttocks. The various acne treatments we offer treat different types of acne, which can resemble:

  • Small, white or flesh colored bumps
  • Open, plugged pores with trapped oil and dead skin that appear dark
  • Small, come-out tender, red or pink bumps that feel raised and sensitive
  • Pimples that have a red base and a distinct pus-filled white or yellow center
  • Large, solid, and painful bumps that develop deep underneath your skin’s surface
  • Severe, pus-filled, and painful lesions

5 Steps to Consider For Optimal Recovery

After treatment, follow your provider’s recovery instructions. This not only makes recovery easier, but also helps you achieve your desired results on the expected timeline without prolonged healing or an increased risk of infection.

  1. Acne treatments, whether topical, oral, or laser, can increase sun sensitivity, so sunscreen is essential; apply it daily after treatment sessions to protect your skin.
  2. Remember to change pillowcases, towels, and makeup brushes after treatments and as part of your daily routine.
  3. Use a cold compress on the treated areas for 10 to 15 minutes to minimize swelling. 
  4. Never pick, peel, or scratch flaking skin, as this can force dead skin off and cause permanent scarring, pigmentation, or bacterial infection.
  5. Hold off on applying makeup, foundations, or powders until your provider lets you know it is safe to do so

How to Begin Your Acne Treatment Journey

Your spa experience typically begins with a consultation in Tampa to assess your specific needs and discuss acne-specific treatment options.

Men considering laser treatments may risk hair loss in the treatment area. Be sure to share any concerns about potential hair loss with the professional administering the treatment so they can take the right precautions.

Our spa’s team of experts will guide you through the process, explaining the:

  • Benefits of the treatment
  • Treatment experience itself 
  • Potential side effects
  • Post-treatment care to achieve optimal results, manage acne, and promote healthier skin.

When both you and your provider agree on a treatment to address your acne concerns, they will design a customized treatment plan and help you prepare for your first treatment session. 

What to Expect During Your Acne Treatment

When you visit Defining Beauty Wellness and Med Spa in Tampa for acne treatment, you can expect a personalized, comprehensive approach to addressing your skincare concerns.

  • Arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face
  • Prioritize daily sunscreen application before treatments to protect your skin effectively.
  • For laser treatments, you will always be given protective goggles or eyewear to prevent the lasers from damaging your eyes.
  • For additional protection and comfort, a topical numbing ointment or cream will be applied to the target areas to keep you comfortable throughout the entire procedure
  • Due to the protection from the numbing anesthetic, laser treatments will only feel like a mild snapping or warm sensation, which is often easily tolerable
  • You should be able to resume most regular activities the same day as your treatment
