Acne Breakouts

At Skin Architect, our doctors and skin therapists use a combination of prescription-strength skincare and targeted in-clinic treatments to effectively manage mild to moderate acne. Treatment options may include deep exfoliating facials with blackhead extraction, chemical exfoliation peels and other medical-grade approaches designed to clear congestion and improve overall skin health.

Conditions

What are blackheads?

There are several types of acne, and understanding the severity of your breakouts is essential for creating an effective treatment plan. Acne can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the number of blemishes, the level of inflammation and whether cysts are present.

Mild acne usually consists of a small number of pimples and blackheads, with little risk of scarring.
Moderate acne often includes more noticeable inflammation, papules and an increased chance of developing marks or scars.
Severe acne may involve cysts or deeper abscesses, which can be painful and more likely to cause long-term scarring.

At Skin Architect, we treat mild and moderate acne by combining prescription-strength skincare with targeted in-clinic treatments. These may include deep exfoliating facials with blackhead extraction and professional chemical exfoliation treatments designed to improve skin clarity and reduce breakouts.

Why do I get blackheads?

Blackheads form when pores become blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells or debris. Although anyone can develop blackheads, they are most common in people with oily or acne-prone skin. Enlarged pores also increase the likelihood of blackheads because they naturally collect more oil and environmental impurities.

Factors that can contribute to blackheads include:

  • Oily skin types
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Stress
  • Certain dietary triggers
  • Genetics
  • Inadequate or inconsistent skincare routines
