Acne FAQs

What are the common causes of acne?

Chronic acne occurs for a number of reasons, including genetics/family history, hormonal changes, bacteria, medications, stress, and other triggers. Understanding the specific causes of an individual’s acneic skin can help us design a personalized treatment plan and lifestyle program that results in clear, healthy-looking skin.

Can adults get acne?

Acne can happen at any age. Some adults continue to get acne well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. It can last for years or even a lifetime and would benefit from monthly in-office aesthetic treatments to maintain smoothness and clarity. 

What is lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage is a massaging technique included in our Dr. Langley Deluxe HydraFacial treatments. It reduces swelling and puffiness in the face by promoting the movement of lymphatic fluid.

What is dermaplane?

Dermaplane is a process included in our Dr. Langley Deluxe HydraFacial and our Melissa MD-Glow Facial treatment that smooths skin and unclogs pores by gently removing dead skin cells. Dermaplane is a physical exfoliation service that has the benefit of removing unwanted peach fuzz also.
