You might have tried various skincare products, or maybe you changed your eating habits to clear your acne, but it can be persistent, especially acne on the back. Also known as “bacne,” back acne differs from acne on the face. It can be harder to get rid of due to its unique position.
Whether it stems from sweat and dirt, hormones, or medications, bacne can feel painful, uncomfortable, and often embarrassing.
Our providers utilize various therapies and technologies to treat bacne at all stages of acne at Wellnest MD. If you are looking for bacne treatments in Sandy Springs, keep reading this post to understand our acne-fighting lineup.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
We use V-IPL to target pigmentation and acne through high-intensity pulses of broad-spectrum light. During the treatment, your cells absorb the light energy, which destroys bacteria, reduces oil production, redness, and inflammation.
The light energy also stimulates collagen production to reduce acne scars, promoting a smoother skin texture.
IPL treatments work best for early-stage bacne that has not progressed to inflamed pustules. The treatment can last up to 1 hour and requires minimal downtime.
Light Therapy
If your bacne has progressed more, and you experience painful pustules, blue and red light therapy can help treat it at this stage. Through our ATR program, DERMO, blue light treats the uppermost layer of your skin, while red light penetrates deeper to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
During light therapy, you may notice reduced stress and anxiety, along with clearer skin.
We recommend 15-minute sessions twice a week. The recommended number of total treatments depends on the severity of your bacne.
Peptide Skincare
Peptide therapy doesn’t just support energy, recovery, and weight loss; it can promote healthy skin as well. We use a specially formulated skinpeptide cream blend, which includes the LZ1 peptide, to reduce acne-causing bacteria and fight stubborn acne in most stages. We blend all of our peptide-enriched creams in-house, ensuring consistent quality to give you peace of mind.
Our patients who have used our skinpeptide report seeing results in days to weeks. The results are long-lasting and reduce the scarring acne can leave behind.
