Acne and Acne Scarring

Ongoing breakouts and congestion, or scars and texture left after acne has calmed down.

Written by Balanced Essence Medical Wellness

What Is Going On

Active acne and acne scarring are treated differently. Breakouts need calming first. Scars need collagen remodeling over time.

Common Causes and Context

  • Scarring forms when deep inflammation damages the skin during healing.
  • Microchanneling is postponed during an active breakout or skin infection.

Treatment Options at Balanced Essence

How These Options Differ

Peels help with active acne. Microchanneling helps with scarring once breakouts calm down. They are often combined in that order.

Results vary from person to person. Your provider recommends a plan after your consultation. See current pricing on the Price List.
