Understanding Different Types of Acne

At Olive Tree Aesthetics, we understand that acne can be a distressing skin condition that affects individuals differently. Acne is not a one-size-fits-all problem; it comes in various forms, each with its unique characteristics and treatment requirements. Our team of skincare experts is dedicated to providing personalized care tailored to your specific type of acne to help you achieve clear, healthy skin.

Whiteheads

Whiteheads

Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are small, flesh-colored bumps that form when pores are clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Because the pore remains closed, the material inside does not oxidize and remains white. Whiteheads can be treated with topical treatments that help to exfoliate the skin and keep pores clear.

 Blackheads

Blackheads

Blackheads, or open comedones, occur when a pore is clogged but remains open at the surface. The trapped oil and dead skin cells oxidize, turning black. Blackheads are commonly found on the nose, forehead, and chin. Regular exfoliation and treatments that help regulate oil production can effectively manage blackheads.

 Papules

Papules

Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps caused by clogged pores that have become infected with bacteria. They do not contain pus and can be tender to the touch. Papules indicate moderate acne and often require treatments that reduce inflammation and bacterial infection.

Pustules

Pustules

Pustules are similar to papules but contain pus, appearing as red bumps with a white or yellow center. They can be painful and are a sign of infection and inflammation. Effective treatment includes topical or oral antibiotics to reduce bacteria and inflammation.

Understanding Different Types of Acne
Nodules

Nodules

Nodules are large, hard, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin caused by severe inflammation. They can persist for weeks or even months and often require more intensive treatments. Nodules are typically treated with prescription medications, including oral antibiotics or isotretinoin, and sometimes cortisone injections.

Cysts

Cysts

Cysts are the most severe form of acne, characterized by large, pus-filled lesions that are deep under the skin. They are often painful and can lead to scarring if not treated properly. Cystic acne usually requires medical intervention with prescription medications and, in some cases, surgical drainage.

Hormonal Acne

Hormonal Acne

Hormonal acne, commonly seen in teenagers and women, is triggered by hormonal fluctuations. It often appears on the lower face, such as the jawline and chin. Hormonal acne can be managed with treatments that balance hormone levels, including oral contraceptives or anti-androgen medications.

Acne Rosacea

Acne Rosacea

Acne Rosacea is a type of acne that occurs in individuals with rosacea, a chronic skin condition. It is characterized by redness, swelling, and acne-like breakouts on the face. Treating acne rosacea involves addressing both the acne and the underlying rosacea with specialized skincare products and sometimes medications.

Customized Live Acne Treatments at Olive Tree Aesthetics

We offer a comprehensive range of acne treatments tailored to your specific type of acne and skin needs. Our expert practitioners utilize the latest technologies and products to provide effective and long-lasting results. From chemical peels and photofacials to advanced treatments like Morpheus8™ and personalized skincare regimens, we are committed to helping you achieve clear, healthy skin.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is one of our favorite new skin resurfacing treatments and is amazing at eliminating acne. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy and can penetrate the skin more deeply than traditional microneedling treatments. As it ablates your skin tissue, it targets acne at its core by destroying the bacteria that causes it. In addition to effectively addressing acne, Morpheus8 also improves various other skin concerns, from hyperpigmentation to uneven texture, enhancing the overall appearance of your skin.

Viva Nano Fractional

Viva Nano Fractional

This skin resurfacing treatment is ideal for anyone with mild to severe acne scars. Before undergoing this treatment, we will ensure that active acne is under control, which we can achieve with other in-clinic treatments and skincare products. Viva Nano Fractional effectively reduces acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.

Photofacial IPL Treatment

Photofacial IPL Treatment

Photofacial IPL Treatment helps to diminish acne-causing bacteria in the skin and lightens post-acne inflammation. This treatment uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target and reduce the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts, promoting clearer skin and reducing redness and discolouration associated with post-acne marks.

Peel Treatments

Peel Treatments

Glycolic acid and salicylic acid peels are extremely effective in targeting and reducing acne, inflammation, and pore size, while also eliminating blackheads. Our Miracle 10 Peel Treatment works by removing only the top surface layer(s) of the skin, resulting in smoother, clearer, and brighter skin. These peels help reduce acne and improve overall skin texture and tone.

Understanding Different Types of Acne Scarring

At Olive Tree Aesthetics in Langley, BC, we know that acne scarring can be a persistent reminder of past breakouts, affecting your confidence and skin’s appearance. Acne scars come in various forms, each with distinct characteristics and requiring specialized treatments. Our team of skincare experts is committed to providing personalized care to effectively address and minimize acne scarring, helping you achieve smoother, healthier skin.

Ice Pick Scars

Ice Pick Scars

Ice pick scars are deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis, giving the skin a pitted appearance similar to punctures made by an ice pick. These scars are often difficult to treat due to their depth. Effective treatments include microneedling, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels, which help stimulate collagen production and smooth the skin's surface.

Boxcar Scars

Boxcar Scars

Boxcar scars are broad, rectangular depressions with sharply defined edges. They can vary in depth and are typically found on the cheeks and temples. Treatments such as fractional laser therapy, dermal fillers, and microneedling can help improve the appearance of boxcar scars by encouraging collagen regeneration and filling in the depressed areas.

 Rolling Scars

Rolling Scars

Rolling scars create a wave-like appearance on the skin due to their wide, shallow depths and rounded edges. These scars are caused by fibrous bands that pull the skin down. Subcision, a procedure that breaks these bands, along with treatments like microneedling and laser resurfacing, can significantly reduce the appearance of rolling scars.

Understanding Different Types of Acne Scarring
 Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised, firm scars that stay within the boundary of the original acne lesion. Keloid scars extend beyond the original wound site, growing larger over time. These types of scars are more common on the chest, back, and shoulders. Effective treatments include corticosteroid injections, silicone sheets, laser therapy, and cryotherapy to flatten and reduce the size of these raised scars.

Skin discolorations

Skin discolorations

While not true scars, hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and post-inflammatory erythema (red spots) are common after acne heals. These marks can fade over time but can be accelerated with treatments like chemical peels, IPL photofacials, and topical lightening agents that help even out skin tone and reduce discoloration.

Post-Inflammatory Erythema

Post-Inflammatory Erythema

Post-inflammatory erythema manifests as red spots that remain after acne has healed. These marks can be persistent but can be effectively treated with methods such as IPL photofacials, chemical peels, and specific skincare products designed to reduce redness and promote a more even skin tone.

Customized Acne Scar Treatments at Olive Tree Aesthetics

At Olive Tree Aesthetics, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to your specific type of acne scarring and skin needs. Our expert practitioners utilize the latest technologies and products to provide effective and long-lasting results. Whether it’s microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or combination therapies, we are dedicated to helping you achieve smoother, more even skin.

Morpheus8 is one of our favorite new skin resurfacing treatments and is amazing at eliminating acne. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy and can penetrate the skin more deeply than traditional microneedling treatments.

Acne Solution FAQs

The time it takes to see results varies depending on the treatment and the severity of the scars. Most patients notice improvements after a few sessions, with optimal results typically seen after several months of consistent treatment.

While it may not be possible to completely remove all acne scars, various treatments can significantly reduce their appearance and improve skin texture. The goal is to achieve smoother, more even skin.

Acne scarring occurs when severe acne damages the skin, leading to abnormal collagen production during the healing process. This can result in various types of scars, such as ice pick, boxcar, rolling, hypertrophic, and keloid scars.

Nodules are large, hard, painful lumps beneath the skin's surface caused by severe inflammation. Cysts are deeper, pus-filled lesions that are also painful and can lead to scarring.

The main types of acne include whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, hormonal acne, and acne rosacea. Each type has different characteristics and treatment needs.
