Treating Active Acne
If you or one of your loved ones has acne, you have intimate knowledge of the impact this disfiguring skin condition can have on self-esteem, often at a time of life when the sufferer is least able to shrug it off. You also have firsthand experience trying every possible method of avoiding, shortening, and concealing outbreaks. Ironically, while acne is one of the most common and most troubling skin conditions, it's also one of the most stubborn. Most sufferers can benefit tremendously-both physically and emotionally-from professional assistance.
Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by dirt. Nor does stress have much of an impact. And so far the effects of diet on acne continue to be unclear. But while we don't yet know the exact causes, we do know the mechanisms behind the formation of acne lesions. Hair follicles, or pores, block up and prevent oil from escaping to the surface of your skin. Within a clogged pore, bacteria begin to grow. Blackheads and whiteheads form, and in cases of inflammatory acne, pustules (which we know as pimples or zits), nodules, and even cysts. Lasting scars are a common result.
If you suffer from active acne, you already know you're not alone. You'll be even happier to know that if you live in Denver, acne treatments-the kind available at Rejuvenate!-have advanced a great deal in recent times and can help you minimize outbreaks and feel better about your skin.

How Others Are Beating Acne in Denver
Our acne treatment plan gives you the tools to reduce acne outbreaks and look your best while doing battle.
- When you come in for an acne consultation, we'll design a skin care regimen just for you. Our compounding pharmacist will give you potent blends of medical grade ingredients not available over the counter. These will assist you in preventing outbreaks and lessening their impact. We'll also introduce you to the La Roche-Posay skin care line, including special products for cleansing your skin, killing bacteria, and unblocking pores to minimize their appearance.
- A chemical peel is another powerful weapon in your fight against acne. A light to medium peel can yield dual benefits: calming active outbreaks and helping smooth out scars.
- A vital component of your acne battle plan is a line of cosmetics that's actually good for your skin: jane iredale makeup. These products blend minerals and pigments to create formulas that are both beautiful and beneficial. They contain no oil to clog your pores, no talc to dry your skin, and no chemicals or dyes to irritate your tissues.
