Understanding and Treating Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns worldwide, yet it often feels deeply personal. Whether it’s an occasional breakout or a persistent struggle, acne can affect not only your skin health but also your confidence. At Drip in Luxe Medspa, located in the Durham Region, we specialize in professional acne treatments in Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby that combine science, technology, and customized care.

What Causes Acne?

Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. While genetics are often a factor, several other triggers can worsen acne:

• Hormonal changes during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or stress
• Lifestyle & diet, including high sugar and processed foods
• Incorrect skin care, such as harsh scrubbing or pore-clogging products
• Environmental factors like humidity, pollution, or even prolonged mask-wearing

Understanding your unique triggers is the first step toward clearer skin.

Different Types of Acne

Not all acne is the same, and each type responds differently to treatment:

• Whiteheads & Blackheads – non-inflamed clogged pores
• Papules & Pustules – red bumps or pimples, sometimes with pus
• Nodules & Cysts – deep, painful breakouts that can lead to scarring

At Drip in Luxe, we take the time to analyze your skin type and acne condition before recommending the best treatment plan.

Why Professional Treatment Matters

While drugstore products may provide temporary relief, professional treatments deliver deeper, longer-lasting results. At Drip in Luxe Medspa, we offer advanced acne solutions:

• Medical-grade facials & chemical peels to exfoliate, unclog pores, and reduce oil buildup
• Laser acne therapy (Aerolase Neo) to target bacteria, calm inflammation, and smooth skin texture
• Customized acne skincare plans designed around your skin goals and lifestyle

These treatments are available for clients across Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, and Scarborough.

Lifestyle Tips for Clearer Skin

Our acne solutions go beyond treatments. We also coach you on supportive habits:

• Cleanse gently with a non-stripping formula
• Always moisturize and use non-comedogenic sunscreen
• Limit processed sugars and dairy if they trigger breakouts
• Manage stress with sleep, movement, and mindfulness

Healthy skin is a balance of professional care and consistent daily routines.
