Because your skin deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution
At Auri Aesthetics, we know acne isn’t just a teenage issue — and it’s not something that can be solved with a single product. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal flare-ups, persistent breakouts, or stubborn post-acne scarring, we’re here to help with science-backed, personalized care.
Why Is Acne So Difficult to Treat?
Acne is a complex skin condition that can be caused by a combination of factors, including:
- Hormonal changes (especially during puberty, menstrual cycles, or stress)
- Overactive oil glands
- Bacteria (P. acnes) buildup on the skin
- Clogged pores from dead skin cells, sweat, or product residue
- Inflammation in deeper layers of the skin
And because each case of acne is rooted in different causes, no two protocols are ever the same — which is why our approach at Auri is always highly individualized.
Understanding Types of Acne
Before we build your protocol, it’s important to determine what type of acne we’re working with. Common acne types include:
- Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads)
- Papules and pustules (small inflamed red or white bumps)
- Cystic acne (deep, painful nodules beneath the skin)
- Hormonal acne (typically located around the jawline and chin)
Your provider will assess your skin during your consultation and help you understand what may be triggering your breakouts — so we can treat both the symptoms and the source.
Clinical-Grade Products That Work
We carry ZO® Skin Health, a physician-dispensed line known for its powerful, evidence-based formulas. These products are often integrated into our in-office acne protocols to amplify your results at home.
Some of our acne essentials include:
🔹 ZO Retinol + Acne Treatment Complex
A game-changer for moderate to severe breakouts. Retinol speeds up cell turnover while acne-fighting actives clear existing breakouts and prevent new ones.
🔹 ZO Complexion Clearing Masque
This calming, sulfur-based masque works wonders for oily, congested skin. It draws out impurities, shrinks active blemishes, and can be used weekly or as a spot treatment.
🔹 ZO Complexion Clarifying Serum
A lightweight daily serum that reduces oiliness, helps balance sebum production, and improves skin texture over time.
🔹 ZO Dual Action Scrub
A dual-mechanism exfoliator that removes debris and dead skin cells while soothing inflamed skin — especially helpful for acne-prone and thickened skin.
Introducing: Omnilux Clear – Blue Light Therapy at Its Best
We’re so excited to offer the new Omnilux Clear device at Auri Aesthetics. While our traditional Omnilux uses red light to reduce inflammation and boost healing, Omnilux Clear delivers blue light technology that penetrates deeply into the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) at the source.
This non-invasive treatment can be added to many of our facials or used as part of a long-term protocol — and it’s ideal for patients looking for a drug-free, light-based therapy to treat persistent or hormonal acne.
Acne-Focused In-Office Treatments
Some acne cases require more than topical products, especially when inflammation, scarring, or recurring flare-ups are involved. Here’s a look at some of our most popular in-office treatments for acne:
Deluxe Hydrafacial: This advanced facial is more than just a glow booster — it decongests pores, removes dead skin cells, and infuses the skin with targeted serums (including acne-specific ZO boosters). Safe for all skin types and customizable at every step.
Purifying Acne Facial: Designed to target active breakouts, this treatment includes deep extractions, detoxifying masks, and calming post-treatment care. It’s perfect for acne-prone teens and adults alike.
BBL Forever Clear: This FDA-approved BroadBand Light therapy uses three wavelengths:
- Blue light to eliminate bacteria
- Yellow light to calm inflammation
- Infrared light to promote healing and collagen production
It’s a non-invasive, zero-downtime laser alternative that can dramatically reduce acne and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Chemical Peels: Chemical exfoliation helps speed up skin renewal, improve texture, and fade acne scarring. We offer:
- ZO 3-Step Peel: A medical-grade peel with potent exfoliants and retinol to deeply resurface the skin.
- The Perfect Derma Peel: A medium-depth peel with glutathione and kojic acid to target acne and brighten hyperpigmentation.
How We Personalize Your Acne Protocol
During your consultation, our providers will evaluate:
- Skin type and sensitivity
- Acne type (active vs. scarring)
- Lifestyle and hormonal factors
- Current skincare use
- Treatment history and goals
From there, we create a custom treatment roadmap — which may include in-office services, at-home product regimens, and ongoing re-evaluations to adapt as your skin improves. Our goal is to not just clear your skin, but strengthen and protect it long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to see results?
Every case is different, but most patients see visible improvement within 4–6 weeks of consistent treatment. More significant transformations can take 3–6 months depending on severity.
Will my skin purge?
Sometimes! Retinol-based products and certain peels can trigger a temporary purge (increased breakouts as clogged pores clear). This is normal and usually subsides within 2–3 weeks.
Is BBL Forever Clear safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, but your provider will always assess Fitzpatrick skin type and make treatment adjustments as needed to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Do I have to commit to a whole series?
Not always — while some treatments like BBL or peels are most effective in a series, we always offer options that meet your timeline and comfort level.
