Concern

Acne and breakouts

Adult acne is common and treatable; the clinic combines in-office care with physician-guided skincare and, when appropriate, prescriptions.

Acne and breakouts

How we think about it

Acne happens when pores clog with oil and dead skin, bacteria multiply inside, and the skin responds with inflammation. Hormones, stress, and some products push it along. Adult acne is common and often sits along the jaw and chin, which is frustrating when you thought you had left it behind years ago.

A physician-led clinic can combine medical treatment with in-office care. Hydrafacial clears congestion and hydrates without stripping. Chemical peels reduce oil and speed turnover. Laser Genesis and IPL calm redness. Dr. Olivo also looks at hormones when the pattern suggests it, and sets up skincare from ZO Skin Health or Skinbetter Science to keep things quiet.

Acne and breakouts, answered

Should I get a facial while I am breaking out?

Often yes, if it is the right kind. Hydrafacial and clarifying peels are designed for active acne. Avoid anything with heavy exfoliation or heat while skin is inflamed.

Can you prescribe medication?

Dr. Olivo is a physician and can discuss prescription options as part of your plan when they are appropriate.
