We all remember acne breakouts as teenagers. But adults, both men and women face breakouts and acne scarring as well…and, it can be challenging and embarrassing.

What Causes Acne?

• Acne forms when dead skin cells and excess oil accumulate at the skin’s surface, clogging pores.
• The oil becomes trapped within the hair follicle and creates the ideal environment for the growth.
• As we get older stress, hormonal changes, and the environment all play a part in acne’s re-emergence.

Treatment Options:

• Today, new treatments and technologies are aiding individuals who feel embarrassed and challenged with adult acne and have found traditional treatments ineffective. 

• At Calidora Skin Clinic, we advocate the combination of medical and aesthetic treatments to bring balance to the skin and achieve visible results.

• Calidora recommends customized treatments for individuals who have had acne during their lifetime, often leaving deep, depressed scars in the skin.  These scars are a result of collagen and epidermal damage and retain a red appearance. 

• Calidora utilizes treatments such as the V-Beam laser and Laser Genesis skin therapy (depending on individual), in combination with deep pore cleansing and customized chemical peels, to treat the bacteria that causes the acne, diffuse the redness and swelling that comes along with acne, remove damaged layers of the skin, stimulate regeneration in the epidermis, and improve tone and texture.

Quick Fix for Break Outs

• Calidora offers urgent blemish control for adults who face spot breakouts and intermittent acne. It is a simple painless acne injection that can quickly reduce the blemish in less than 24 hours and have you ready to go out on the town or to your next holiday party.
