Say Goodbye to Acne, Scarring, and Pigmentation

Acne is a complex skin disorder caused by hormones, genetics, and other internal and external factors that affect the skin’s oil glands (sebaceous glands) and hair follicles. When these factors work together, they clog pores and cause breakouts — from mild pimples to severe lesions that can lead to lasting scars. If left untreated, acne often leads to emotional distress and can cause permanent scarring that impacts your self-confidence for years to come.

At Emmanuel Skinscience Medical Spa, your trusted med spa in West Bloomfield MI, we understand how deeply acne and acne scars can affect your life. Our team of Licensed Skin Management Experts™ provides advanced acne solutions and acne scar treatment in West Bloomfield, giving you the chance to achieve clear, smooth, healthy skin again.

Causes of Acne: Understanding the Triggers

While the exact cause of acne varies from person to person, most skin experts agree it results from multiple factors working together. One major factor is an increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones). These rise during puberty in both boys and girls and cause the sebaceous glands to grow larger and produce more oil. Hormonal shifts from pregnancy or starting or stopping birth control pills can also trigger breakouts. Genetics can play a significant role too — many people inherit a tendency for acne from family members. Certain medications, including androgens and lithium, are known to cause acne. Even greasy cosmetics can block follicles, causing clogs and breakouts.

What Treatments Can Help My Acne?

At Emmanuel Skinscience, we offer the most advanced treatments for acne and acne scars in Oakland County. Our options include the Alma Hybrid, the world’s latest skin rejuvenation and resurfacing laser. This cutting-edge device is 50% more powerful than older CO2 lasers while also delivering faster treatments and shorter downtime.

Our wide range of chemical and medical peels — like the Vi Peel, NanoLaserPeel, and MicroLaserPeel — help prevent breakouts by removing dead skin cells and excess oil before they clog pores. For more severe cases, our customized laser treatments tackle acne at the source. Depending on your skin type and goals, we’ll select the best laser solution for clear, smooth results.

RF Microneedling is another gold-standard option. With technologies like Morpheus8 and Secret™ RF, we remodel collagen and break up scar tissue for smoother skin texture. Our personalized facials, including the Acnelan Acne Facial and Nano-Needling Luxury Facial, help calm breakouts with minimal downtime.

We also offer Microphototherapy — a gentle light and heat-based treatment that uses broad-spectrum light and infrared energy to even out skin tone, fade breakouts, and create smoother, firmer skin. For deeper peel results, the RevePeel® starts in our med spa and finishes at home, exfoliating layers of damaged skin and bringing fresh, healthy skin to the surface.

Subcision is an effective treatment for pitted and depressed acne scars. This procedure breaks apart the fibrotic strands holding scars down, helping skin look smoother. For stubborn active acne, we provide AviClear™, the first FDA-cleared laser for mild to severe acne that uses a precise wavelength of energy to target oil glands. We also offer Tixel®, which uses thermo-mechanical ablation for significant improvements in acne and acne scarring.

Factors That Can Make Acne Worse

Acne can worsen due to several common factors. Changing hormone levels, friction from leaning on or rubbing the skin, or pressure from helmets, backpacks, and tight collars can all contribute. Oils from your hair or pillowcases, environmental irritants like pollution and humidity, squeezing or picking at blemishes, and harsh scrubbing can make acne more severe and cause additional scarring.

What Are the Myths About Acne?

There are many myths about acne. One common belief is that food doesn’t affect the skin — but we know that’s not always true. Our naturopathic approach looks at your food sensitivities and helps you make adjustments that could reduce breakouts. Stress, hormonal imbalances, gut health, and your body’s toxic burden can all play a role too. Another myth is that dirty skin causes acne. The truth is, acne lesions like blackheads and whiteheads are not caused by dirt but by clogged pores and inflammation inside the skin.

Who Gets Acne?

Acne affects people of all ages and skin types. It’s most common in teenagers and young adults, with about 85% of people between ages 12 and 24 experiencing breakouts. For many, acne fades by the time they reach their thirties, but some continue to struggle with it well into their forties and fifties.

Who Should Treat My Acne?

Acne is best treated by licensed skincare professionals and dermatologists. At Emmanuel Skinscience Medical Spa, our Licensed Skin Management Experts™ are trained to customize the right acne care plan for you, combining advanced technology, medical-grade treatments, and expert skin coaching.

Why Do I Need Professional Acne Treatments?

The goal of professional acne care is to heal current lesions, prevent new ones, minimize or erase scarring, and help you feel confident in your skin again. For severe cases, we may recommend partnering with a dermatologist for prescription therapies while you continue with our advanced in-clinic treatments and home-care support. By addressing factors like clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation, we can help you achieve real, lasting results.
