Active Acne & Breakouts

Understanding the concern

Active breakouts and established scarring need different approaches.

A new breakout is active now. Discoloration and established scars can remain after a breakout has settled, and both may be visible at the same time.

The current Face Reality program is the House of Rose option for active breakouts. Scar-focused services address established texture, so seeing both concerns does not mean one appointment is expected to do both jobs.

Notice where new breakouts are forming and where the skin is calm but still shows color or texture.

Questions

New breakouts and existing texture are evaluated separately.

Deep, painful, widespread, or actively scarring breakouts need medical evaluation before an esthetics program is considered. Otherwise, share where new breakouts are appearing and whether discoloration, indentations, or other established texture remain after they settle.
