Can a Med Spa Help With Acne?
Let's be real, acne isn't just a teen problem. Many of us still battle breakouts well into our 30s, 40s, and beyond. It's frustrating when you've tried every drugstore product, cleaned up your diet, and followed a strict skincare routine, yet those stubborn spots keep showing up.
If you're nodding your head right now, you might be wondering if it's time to try something more advanced. Like a med spa. But do they actually work for acne? The short answer is yes, and I'll tell you why.
What's a Med Spa, Anyway?
Think of a med spa as the sweet spot between your favorite day spa and a dermatologist's office. Unlike regular spas, med spas operate under medical supervision.
Refined Aesthetics and Wellness is run by three board-certified providers, Erin Hager FNP-C, Heather Heiter FNP-C, and Brad Bybee PA-C.
We offer treatments that go deeper than your typical facial, using medical-grade products and technology that tackle acne at its root.
How Can a Med Spa Help Your Skin?
Whether you're dealing with occasional breakouts, stubborn blackheads, or painful cystic acne (the worst!), we offer several treatments that might be game-changers for your skin.
1. Chemical Peels That Actually Work
These aren't like those gentle "peels" you buy at the store. Our chemical peels use professional-strength acids that:
Sweep away dead skin cells that clog your pores
Calm down angry, red inflammation
Fade those dark spots left behind from old breakouts (we all have them!)
Help regulate oil production
The difference? They're stronger than anything you can use at home, which means you'll see results much faster.
2. High-Tech Light and Laser Treatments
Laser skin treatments sound fancy, and they are, but they're also incredibly effective.
Blue light zaps the bacteria that cause acne without harming your skin
Red light calms inflammation and speeds up healing
Laser treatments can resurface your skin to improve texture and minimize scars
Most of our clients find these treatments relaxing, and some even notice improvements after their first session.
The technology has come a long way in recent years, making treatments more comfortable and effective than ever.
3. Microneedling (It's Not as Scary as It Sounds)
If you're left with acne scars or enlarged pores, microneedling could be your new best friend. It uses tiny needles to create microscopic punctures in your skin, which triggers your skin's natural healing response.
We apply a numbing cream first, so you'll feel minimal discomfort. The results build over time as your skin produces more collagen, gradually filling in scars and creating smoother texture.
Most clients report seeing significant improvements after the first session.
4. Next-Level Facials
At Refined, we offer advanced facials, like the popular Hydrafacial that combines multiple steps in one treatment.
Our custom facials deep-clean clogged pores, hydrate thirsty skin, reduce redness and irritation, and give you an immediate glow without any downtime
What makes these facials different? They use medical-grade products and advanced technology that goes deeper than standard spa treatments.
Plus, they're customized to your specific skin concerns rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
5. Skincare Products That Mean Business
We offer skincare products with higher concentrations of active ingredients than what you'll find in stores. These might include:
Retinoids that speed up cell turnover (without the flaking and irritation of over-the-counter options).
Stronger versions of acne-fighters like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
Specialized serums with ingredients like niacinamide to calm inflammation.
The best part? A skincare professional can create a routine specifically for your skin issues, no more guessing which products might work or wasting money on things that end up collecting dust in your bathroom cabinet.
6. Acne Bootcamp
At Refined Aesthetics and Wellness offer comprehensive acne treatment programs that combine multiple approaches for better results.
We start with a consultation so our specialists can really get to know your skin. We’ll talk about everything that might be triggering your breakouts. From your current skincare products, what you're eating, your stress levels, and even how you're sleeping.
From there, we recommend treatments like:
The Acne Peel - A customized treatment for most types of acne. We will assess your skin and customize the strength of your peel to make sure it's effective without being too harsh. This treatment works by clearing out clogged pores and reducing inflammation, exactly what acne-prone skin needs.
Hydrating Acne Treatment - If your skin tends to be both dry and breakout-prone (yes, that's definitely a thing!), you might benefit from a Hydrating Acne Treatment. This gentler approach uses enzyme masks to give your skin the moisture it craves while still fighting those stubborn breakouts.
Throughout your treatment journey, you'll receive ongoing support with tweaks to your at-home routine, answers to questions, and personalized guidance. Because getting clear skin isn't just about what happens in the med spa, it’s about making simple, sustainable changes to your daily life.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
If you're new to med spas, here's what typically happens:
Consultation: A skincare professional will examine your skin and ask about your concerns, history, and goals. Be honest about what you've tried and how your skin reacts to different treatments.
Treatment recommendations: Based on your skin type and concerns, we'll suggest a treatment plan. This might involve multiple approaches for the best results.
Discussion of costs and timing: We offer package deals and membership options that make acne treatments more affordable. Ask about these options if budget is a concern.
