Best Treatments for Acne | Riviera Aesthetic Syosset

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting all ages and skin types. A tRiviera Aesthetic, we provide customized treatment plans for all types of acne, combining professional facials, chemical peels, IPL laser treatments, and targeted GlyMed Plus® products to deliver visible, lasting results.

Understanding your skin type and specific acne condition is the first step in choosing the right combination of professional treatments and active ingredients.

Understanding Acne

Acne occurs when pores become clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, or bacteria, leading to:

• Whiteheads and blackheads

• Pustules and papules

• Cystic acne

• Inflammation and post-acne hyperpigmentation

Factors like hormones, stress, diet, environment, and skincare choices can worsen acne, making a professional evaluation critical for safe and effective treatment.

Professional Acne Treatments at Riviera Aesthetic

1. Customized Acne Facials

A professional facial tailored to acne-prone skin addresses both active breakouts and long-term skin health. During a customized facial, our licensed aestheticians:

• Conduct a thorough skin analysis including oil production, congestion, and sensitivity

• Use targeted exfoliation to safely clear clogged pores

• Apply anti-inflammatory treatments to calm redness

• Recommend at-home GlyMed Plus® products to maintain results

Example GlyMed Plus® Products Used:

• Acne Cleansers: Contains combinations of salicylic acid, aloe vera, benzoyl peroxide and antioxidants to remove excess oil and reduce bacterial growth

• Clarifying Astringent Toner: Uses witch hazel and niacinamide to minimize pores and regulate sebum production

• Oil-Control Moisturizer: Lightweight hyaluronic acid hydration without clogging pores

• Spot Treatment Serum: Formulated with benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil to target active blemishes

Customized facials provide immediate improvement while preparing the skin for advanced treatments like peels or lasers.

2. Chemical Peels

Chemical exfoliation is a cornerstone of acne treatment. At Riviera Aesthetic, we use professional peels tailored to the severity and type of acne:

• Salicylic Acid Peel: A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into oily pores, dissolves excess sebum, and has anti-inflammatory propertiesto calm breakouts. Ideal for mild to moderate acne.

• Jessner’s Peel: Combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce congestion, and improve skin texture. Effective for moderate to stubborn acne and post-acne hyperpigmentation.

Chemical peels stimulate cell turnover, reduce clogged pores, and enhance the absorption of GlyMed Plus® serums and treatments, creating a more effective overall regimen.

3. Onyx IPL Laser

For persistent or cystic acne, the Onyx IPL Laser offers a safe and effective solution. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) targets:

• Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, reducing inflammation and preventing new breakouts

• Redness and post-acne hyperpigmentation for more even skin tone

• Promotes collagen production to improve texture and prevent scarring

IPL works on all types of acne and can be combined with facials or chemical peels for a comprehensive, multi-layered approach.

GlyMed Plus® Products and Ingredients for Acne

Professional skincare is essential for acne management. GlyMed Plus® products are formulated with active ingredients that safely treat and prevent breakouts while supporting skin health:

• Salicylic Acid: Penetrates pores to exfoliate and reduce sebum

• Benzoyl Peroxide: Kills acne-causing bacteria

• Niacinamide: Regulates oil production, minimizes redness, and supports the skin barrier

• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides lightweight hydration without clogging pores

• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Lactic acid and glycolic acid gently exfoliate surface skin for smoother texture

• Antioxidants: Vitamins C and E to reduce inflammation and support healing

Using professional-grade GlyMed Plus® products ensures active ingredients are potent yet safe, and work synergistically with in-office treatments like peels and IPL.
