Beyond Teen Years: Advanced Acne Solutions for Adults in McAllen
Acne Isn’t Just for Teens Anymore
Welcome to Beautique Medical Spa, where we understand that beauty is more than skin deep. It’s about feeling confident at every age. Recently, more adults in the Rio Grande Valley are facing acne issues, not just teenagers. Why? Environmental factors like pollution and stress play a big part. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you understand and combat adult acne with expert care.
Understanding Acne
Before diving into treatments, let’s briefly talk about what acne is and what causes it. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, and lifestyle habits can contribute to acne development.
Acne is often associated with the teenage years, but it can actually affect people of all ages. While adolescents are more prone to hormonal acne due to puberty-related changes, adults can also experience acne for a variety of reasons. Factors like stress, diet, and genetics can contribute to acne breakouts in individuals well into their 20s, 30s, and beyond.
In fact, adult-onset acne is becoming increasingly common among both men and women. It’s not uncommon for someone in their 40s or even 50s to suddenly start dealing with pesky pimples. This shift in the age demographic of acne sufferers challenges the notion that acne is just a phase of adolescence. Understanding that acne can manifest at any age reminds us that taking care of our skin is important throughout our lives.
Beautique’s Acne-Fighting Solutions for Smooth, Glowing Skin
Chemical Peels:
VI Peel offers an effective solution for those struggling with stubborn acne breakouts. The #1 medical-grade chemical peel in the world works by gently exfoliating the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells, and unclogging pores. This process allows a VI Peel to reduce acne lesions and prevent future breakouts. Moreover, one of the standout benefits of VI Peel is its ability to address various skin concerns simultaneously.
In addition to targeting acne, it also diminishes acne scars, reduces hyperpigmentation, and improves overall skin texture, leaving behind a smoother, more radiant complexion. The best part is that this peel is safe enough for all skin types!
Typically, a series of VI Peel sessions is recommended for optimal results, with noticeable improvements seen after each treatment. However, Beautique Medical Spa doesn’t provide ‘typical’ work, your customized may include Vi Peels in your program if it helps meet your individual skin concerns and goals. Please reserve a consultation with one of our skincare experts to learn more.
DiamondGlow Treatments:
This isn’t just a facial; it’s a game-changer for unclogging pores and perfecting skin with specialized serums.
DiamondGlow facials offer a rejuvenating experience that goes beyond traditional facials, making them particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone skin. The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, followed by the use of a specialized diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin gently.
This unique 3-in-1 exfoliation method helps to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cellular turnover, which is essential for preventing acne breakouts. Additionally, Diamond Glow facials utilize a patented technology to simultaneously extract impurities from the skin while infusing potent serums tailored to address acne concerns. These serums often contain ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid, which help to target acne-causing bacteria and regulate oil production.
We currently offer five specialized SkinMedica serums: TNS Advanced+, HA5 Hyaluronic Acid, Even & Correct Advanced Brightening, Vitamin C+E Complex, and Pore Clarifying. By deep-cleansing the pores and delivering targeted skincare ingredients, DiamondGlow facials work wonders for acne-prone skin. If you get breakouts on your back, a Diamond Glow Back treatment can get you bathing-suit ready for the summer.
“I recently had my follow up Diamond Glow facial done and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The service was prompt, professional, and the final product exceeded my expectations. Reason why I would definitely use this service again in the future and recommend it to others. – Olga L.”
LED Light Therapy:
Safe and soothing, this therapy kills acne-causing bacteria and calms inflammation.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive and effective treatment option for acne. This therapy harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to penetrate the skin and target the bacteria responsible for acne, known as Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes).
By destroying these bacteria, blue light helps to prevent new breakouts from forming and reduces existing acne lesions. On the other hand, red light therapy works to promote healing and reduce inflammation, making it an excellent complementary treatment for acne-prone skin.

Red Light Therapy increases cellular turnover, and blood circulation, and reduces inflammation.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy:
Great for treating various skin issues simultaneously, like acne and sun damage.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, also known as skin rejuvenation or photo facials, works wonders for a variety of skin problems, not just acne. IPL can tackle different issues at once, like acne, dark spots, spider veins, age spots, and stretch marks. It works by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light to the skin, which selectively targets the pigment in acne-causing bacteria, effectively destroying them and reducing the likelihood of future breakouts.

Fraxel Dual Laser Skin Resurfacing:
Provides a Clean Slate.
Although we have been discussing numerous acne treatments, let’s not overlook the persistent reminder of past breakouts, impacting both skin texture and overall appearance, and acne scarring. These scars often result from the body’s natural healing process following severe acne lesions, leaving behind indentations or uneven skin texture.
Fraxel Dual Laser Resurfacing has been proven to improve this. Fraxel works by delivering microscopic laser beams to the skin, targeting damaged tissue, and stimulating the production of collagen—a vital protein responsible for skin structure and elasticity. Through this process, Fraxel Dual Laser Resurfacing promotes the regeneration of healthy skin cells, gradually improving the texture and appearance of acne scars. While downtime may vary depending on the intensity of the treatment, patients can expect temporary redness and mild swelling following each session.
But hey, the awesome outcomes from Fraxel treatments totally justify the short recovery time. Just remember, getting rid of acne scars usually needs a few sessions with breaks in between. Stick to the treatment schedule, and you’ll end up with smoother, glowing skin and feel more confident about your look.
