SilkPeel during topical acne regimen?

Question

I am 31, female with adult acne on my cheeks. I have been on benzoyl peroxide and azelaic acid regimen for 4 months, my face is almost clear but still developing white closed comedones and blackheads on my nose. I am looking for a regular facial method that will suit my face and also helps with those problems and also have an antiaging benefit. Is silk peel one of them? Hydrafacial? Oxygeneo? Any suggestions rather than manual extractions and classical facials?

Hello brgtrn, 
My name is Melanie I am a Medical aesthetician at Aesthetic Skin located in Chicago, IL. a Hydrafacial would be a great addition to your current treatment. Just remember to discontinue use of all actives 48 hours prior to your facial treatment and resume your usual routine 48 post your hydrafacial treatment.

Dermal Infusion is an excellent alternative to traditional acne facials that include manual extractions. Dermal Infusion is hydrodermabrasion, a specialty serum geared toward your skin condition is streamed against the skin as suction is applied. Imagine "pressure washing" your skin. All of the impurities, oils and debris that in your pores are purged and your skin will be the cleanest it has ever been! The specialty serums that are infused address acne, pigmentation or parched, dry skin. 
I    recommend you try Dermal Infusion for your acne.

Thank you for your question!  Based on your description of your skin, it sounds like you are a great candidate for a series of Dermalinfusion peels using the Pore Cleansing serum.  Treatment using this condition-specific serum will exfoliate, extract and infuse the mild salicylic acid serum into the skin.  Patients with acne should do one peel every 2-3 weeks for a total of 4-6 treatments for optimal results.  As a precaution, I would recommend stopping use of the Benzoyl Peroxide and Azelaic Acid at least 4 days before receiving treatment as this could lead to dryness and irritation.  Best of luck.

SilkPeel or Dermal Infusion would be a great addition to your topical regiment you have been on. There is a salicylic acid solution that when combined with the microdermabrasion about once every two weeks is amazing at helping control your breakouts.
