I am a 22 year old female.Having a breakout for ard 2months mostly in cheek area.Currently started to use differin (adapaline 0.1%) gel for a week and had 1 hydrafacia combine with 20min of blue and red light therapy.Havnt seen any big improvement yet.The acid peel used in hydrafacial is 7.5% initially.I have received another treatment of hydrafacial of acid peel 15% in strength today.I m wondering will I benefit more from a 30% chemical peel?

Answer: 7.5% is best for oily/acneic skin. Hello, believe it or not the 7.5% is the best option for you because it has the highest concentration of salicylic acid which is best for treating oily/acneic skin. The 15 and 30% hydrafacial peels have a higher concentration of glycolic acid which is better for dry/aging skin and these peels have lower concentrations of salicylic acid. Also, make sure you're going somewhere that is doing manual extractions with the hydrafacial and use a good skin care regimen at home.

Answer: HydraFacial for Acne I recommend that you see a medical provider for your HydraFacials & that you have a clarifying HydraFacialMD treatment (30% glycolic, salicylic combination) or that you have a deeper peel. I also recommend that you work in tandem with the medical provider to develop an ongoing treatment & prevention protocol to manage the acne, which will necessarily involve further investigation into its causes. Your acne may not simply be acne. It may have hormonal or infectious causes that are not properly treated with blue light therapy or differin. I recommend that you see a medical provider only & not receive treatments from aestheticians, if your desire is to have true resolution of your concern.
