Understanding What Causes Acne Breakouts

Know the Signs

Acne happens when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This process leads to visible symptoms such as blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed pimples. For some, hormonal changes increase oil production and make flare-ups worse. Others struggle with cystic acne that forms painful, deeper lesions.

Professional treatment can make a real difference. Our acne solution facial targets active breakouts with deep cleansing, extractions, and LED light therapy to calm inflammation.

For younger clients, our teen clear skin facial offers a gentle introduction to professional skincare without overwhelming sensitive skin.

Types of Acne You Might See

Blackheads and whiteheads – non-inflammatory clogged pores.
Papules and pustules – inflamed red bumps or pus-filled lesions.
Cysts and nodules – severe, painful breakouts under the skin.

Why Acne Matters Beyond the Surface

Acne doesn’t just affect appearance. It impacts confidence and can leave lasting scars. For teens, acne can feel overwhelming during important social years. For adults, persistent acne may signal hormonal shifts or chronic inflammation.

The good news: you don’t have to manage breakouts alone. Our acne treatments in our skin care clinic address stubborn cases with advanced technologies like cold laser and blue LED light therapy. Browse our full range of facials in Edmonton to find the right fit for your skin.

Clinically Supported Skin Solutions

Why Scientific Support Matters

When it comes to treating acne, proven methods matter. Clinical research confirms that light-based therapies, laser treatments, and chemical peels provide safe and effective ways to reduce breakouts and restore clear skin.

LED Light Therapy for Acne

Clinical studies show that blue and red LED therapy significantly reduce both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. One controlled trial reported an 81% reduction in average lesion counts after 12 weeks of combination blue (415 nm) and red (633 nm) light therapy [1][2]. The science is clear: LED light targets Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and calms inflammation, making it a non-invasive solution for teens and adults with persistent acne.

Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser)

A prospective study found that near-infrared low-level laser therapy achieved significant reductions in both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions, while also decreasing sebum production without side effects [3]. Research further shows that low-level laser exposure reduces the viability of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and downregulates inflammatory pathways [4][5]. This makes cold laser an evidence-backed option for clients struggling with oil overproduction and recurring breakouts.

Chemical Peels for Acne

Chemical peels, including salicylic acid (SA), glycolic acid (GA), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), have been shown to improve both comedonal and inflammatory acne. Clinical studies note that peels accelerate lesion resolution, enhance topical treatment absorption, and improve post-inflammatory marks [6]. Researchers highlight that SA and LHA derivatives are particularly effective because they act on both clogged pores and active inflammation [6]. These peels offer a safe, well-documented option for clients seeking smoother, clearer skin.

Acne Treatment Questions, Answered

Clear, concise answers to the most common questions our clients in Edmonton ask about breakouts, skin types, and treatment options.

Tap to ask your question

How to tell if acne is hormonal or bacterial?

Hormonal acne often appears around the jawline, chin, or mouth and worsens during cycles of hormonal change. Bacterial acne usually spreads across the face and features inflamed, pus-filled pimples.

Hormonal → jawline, cyclical flare-ups
Bacterial → widespread inflamed pimples
Both may need professional care to resolve

How do I clear my acne fast?

Acne doesn’t clear overnight, but professional treatments speed results. LED light kills acne-causing bacteria, chemical peels unclog pores, and cold laser calms inflammation. Paired with a consistent routine, these methods shorten breakout duration.

Try blue/red LED for bacteria
Use peels to unclog pores
Cold laser reduces inflammation safely

How to stop getting acne?

Preventing acne means controlling oil, keeping pores clear, and reducing triggers. Regular facials, exfoliation, and light therapies balance oil and bacteria. Lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and sleep also influence breakout frequency.

Maintain consistent skin care
Balance oil production with treatments
Address stress, sleep, and diet

How quickly can acne go away?

Mild acne may improve within weeks, while deeper cystic acne requires months of consistent care. Professional therapies such as LED, peels, and cold laser shorten healing time compared to over-the-counter products.

Mild acne → weeks with care
Cystic acne → months of consistency
Clinical treatments accelerate results
