A Personalized Approach to Breakouts, Congestion and Acne-Prone Skin
Acne does not look the same on everyone, and we do not believe it should be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach.
At Botta Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we begin by looking at your skin as a whole. We consider the type of breakouts you are experiencing, inflammation, congestion, sensitivity, oil production, skin texture, acne-related marks or scarring, your current skin-care routine, and what you have already tried.
From there, we develop an individualized plan that may include professional Environ skin treatments, Environ Cool Peel treatments, Environ home skin care, Laser Genesis treatments, or a combination of approaches.
The goal is to improve the health, appearance, texture, and resilience of your skin over time—not simply treat an individual breakout.
Environ Cool Peel Treatments
For appropriate clients, Environ Cool Peel treatments may be incorporated into the plan.
Cool Peel uses a controlled professional exfoliation approach that can be selected specifically for breakout-prone, congested, or uneven skin. Environ offers Cool Peel treatments specifically designed for congested and breakout-prone skin.
Rather than treating every client with the same peel at the same strength, we select the type and intensity of treatment based on the skin in front of us.
Inflamed, sensitive, or compromised skin may require a very different approach from oily, congested, or more resilient skin.
Laser Genesis
BMAW uses the Cutera XEO platform with Laser Genesis technology as one of our treatment options for appropriate acne-related concerns.
Laser Genesis uses a non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser to deliver controlled heat beneath the surface of the skin. The technology is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and may also help improve redness, skin texture, and the appearance of certain scars.
Because Laser Genesis is non-ablative, it does not remove or resurface the outer layer of the skin.
Laser treatment is not necessary or appropriate for every person with acne. For some clients, it may be an important part of the treatment plan. For others, changing home skin care or incorporating professional skin treatments may be the better place to begin.
Home Skin Care Matters
What you do at home matters.
BMAW uses and recommends Environ professional skin-care products because the company’s approach closely aligns with ours: healthier-looking skin is supported through science, consistency, and appropriately selected ingredients rather than simply using more products.
Founded by plastic surgeon Dr. Des Fernandes, Environ has built its skin-care philosophy around vitamin A, antioxidants, peptides, and other carefully selected ingredients designed to support healthier-looking skin.
For acne-prone, oily, or congested skin, we may recommend an individualized Environ home-care routine based on what your skin actually needs.
The goal may include helping to improve the appearance of:
- breakouts and blemishes
- congested or clogged pores
- excess surface oil
- uneven texture
- post-breakout marks
- overall skin health and resilience
We do not believe more products automatically mean better results. The right products, used correctly and consistently, matter more.
Your Treatment Plan May Look Different From Someone Else’s
One client may benefit primarily from changing their home skin-care routine.
Another may benefit from a series of Laser Genesis treatments.
Someone else may benefit from Environ Cool Peel treatments or a thoughtful combination of laser treatment, professional skin treatments, and home care.
That is why we begin with an evaluation rather than placing everyone into the same acne protocol.
We will look at your skin, talk with you about what you have already tried, review the products you are currently using, and determine which BMAW options may be appropriate for you.
If your acne is severe, cystic, unusual, or appears to require medical diagnosis or treatment beyond the scope of our aesthetic services, we may recommend evaluation by your primary care provider or a dermatology professional.
You Don’t Need to Know Which Treatment You Need
If you are struggling with breakouts, congestion, redness, acne-related marks or texture changes, or simply feel frustrated with your skin, you do not need to decide whether you need laser treatment, a peel, or new skin-care products before coming in.
Start by showing us what is bothering you.
We will evaluate your skin, explain what we see, discuss your goals, and develop a plan based on your skin—not a generic acne protocol.
