Condition Overview
Acne is more than the occasional breakout. Clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria and inflammation combine to produce blackheads, whiteheads, papules and deeper cysts that can persist well into adulthood, and every untreated breakout carries a risk of scarring.
At Reston Aesthetics we treat active acne with professional facials that clear congestion without stripping the skin, and, where appropriate, prescription skincare directed by our physician. Once the skin is calm, we turn to microneedling and PRP to repair the marks acne leaves behind.
Understanding Acne
Acne begins when a pore becomes blocked with oil and dead skin cells, giving bacteria a place to multiply and the immune system a reason to respond. Common triggers include:
- Hormonal fluctuations, including those around periods, pregnancy and stopping contraception
- Excess sebum production, often inherited
- Comedogenic skincare, makeup and hair products
- Stress, which raises cortisol and oil production
- Friction and occlusion from masks, helmets and phones

Who is a good candidate for Acne treatment?
Anyone with ongoing breakouts, from teenagers to adults in their forties, is a candidate. If you have deep cystic acne, we start with a physician consultation so in‑office treatments and prescriptions work together.
