Understanding Acne: Causes and Triggers

Acne is more complex than many people realize. At our Moncton medical spa, we look beyond the surface to identify the root causes of your breakouts:

Genetic Factors: If both parents experienced acne, your likelihood of developing it increases by up to 50%.

Hormonal Fluctuations: Hormonal imbalances during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can trigger inflammatory acne and excess oil production.

Skincare Products: Many over-the-counter products contain pore-clogging ingredients like silicones, heavy oils, and comedogenic substances that worsen acne.

Diet and Lifestyle: High-glycemic foods, dairy consumption, stress levels, and poor sleep quality all play a role in skin inflammation and acne development.

Environmental Factors: Living in Moncton means dealing with humid summers and dry winters—both of which can impact your skin’s oil production and barrier function.

By identifying your specific triggers, we create a targeted acne treatment plan that delivers lasting results.

Your Personalized Acne Treatment Journey in Moncton

Step 1: Comprehensive Skin Consultation

Every successful acne treatment begins with understanding your unique skin. During your initial consultation at our Moncton location, our experienced medical aestheticians will:

Perform a detailed skin analysis to determine your acne type and severity
Review your current skincare routine and identify problematic products
Discuss your medical history, hormonal factors, and lifestyle habits
Examine any existing acne scars or hyperpigmentation
Create a customized treatment roadmap with realistic timelines and expectations

Your consultation includes professional recommendations for both in-clinic treatments and at-home care.

Step 2: Medical-Grade Skincare for Acne Management

Clinical skincare is the foundation of any effective acne treatment program. We recommend Osmosis MD and other pharmaceutical-grade products proven to:

Reduce inflammation without irritating sensitive skin
Regulate sebum production to prevent clogged pores
Rebuild your skin’s protective barrier
Prevent future breakouts while healing existing ones

Key Ingredients for Acne-Prone Skin:

Vitamin A derivatives (retinoids) for cell turnover
Niacinamide to control oil and reduce inflammation
Antioxidants like Vitamin C for healing and brightening
Gentle acids (salicylic, lactic) for exfoliation

What to Avoid:

Pore-clogging silicones and heavy oils
Harsh sulfates that strip your skin’s natural protection
Fragranced products that can cause irritation

Our team will guide you through proper application techniques to maximize results and minimize irritation.

Step 3: Advanced In-Clinic Acne Treatments

Medical Facials for Active Acne

Our customized medical facials go far beyond traditional spa treatments. These clinical-strength facials include deep cleansing, extractions, anti-inflammatory treatments, and calming masks designed specifically for acne-prone skin. Regular treatments help reduce active breakouts, prevent new ones, and improve overall skin health.

Best for: Mild to moderate acne, congested skin, inflammation

Chemical Peels for Acne

Medical-grade chemical peels in Moncton deliver powerful exfoliation that over-the-counter products can’t match. By removing the top layer of dead skin cells and debris, chemical peels:

Unclog pores and prevent new breakouts
Reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Improve skin texture and tone
Decrease acne-causing bacteria

Best for: Comedonal acne, blackheads, uneven skin tone

Potenza RF Microneedling for Acne

Potenza combines radiofrequency energy with precision microneedling to target acne at its source. This advanced treatment:

Destroys acne-causing bacteria deep in the pores
Reduces overactive oil glands
Minimizes inflammation
Prevents future breakouts
Improves skin texture simultaneously

Best for: Moderate to severe acne, oily skin, large pores

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

IPL phototherapy targets the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne while reducing redness and visible blood vessels. This quick, non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to:

Kill P. acnes bacteria
Reduce inflammation and redness
Calm irritated skin
Improve overall complexion

Best for: Inflammatory acne, redness, rosacea-prone skin

Step 4: Acne Scar Treatment in Moncton

Once we’ve controlled your active acne, we focus on repairing the damage. Acne scars come in many forms—ice pick scars, rolling scars, boxcar scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—and each requires a different approach.

PicoWay Resolve Laser for Acne Scars

PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses to shatter scar tissue and pigmentation while triggering your skin’s natural healing response. This FDA-cleared treatment is highly effective for:

Atrophic (indented) acne scars
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
Uneven skin texture
Discoloration

PicoWay requires minimal downtime and is safe for all skin types, making it an excellent option for busy Moncton residents.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Severe Acne Scarring

For deep, extensive acne scarring, CO2 fractional laser resurfacing provides dramatic results. This intensive treatment:

Removes damaged skin layers
Stimulates significant collagen production
Smooths deep scars and texture irregularities
Delivers long-lasting improvement

While CO2 laser requires more downtime than other treatments (typically 7-10 days), the transformative results make it worthwhile for those with severe scarring.

Potenza RF Microneedling for Scars

Beyond treating active acne, Potenza excels at improving acne scars. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy remodels scar tissue, builds new collagen, and smooths uneven texture with minimal downtime.

Step 5: Maintaining Clear Skin Long-Term

Acne is often a chronic condition that requires ongoing management. At Sparkle MediSpa in Moncton, we support your journey with:

Seasonal Skincare Adjustments: Moncton’s climate requires different approaches throughout the year. We help you adapt your routine for humid summers and dry winters.
