Clear Skin, Happy Life: Unmasking the Mystery of Acne

The fall season is upon us and it’s time to revisit one of our top topics: Acne. Here at Medical Aesthetics of the Hudson Valley, we understand the frustration acne can bring, so we've curated a collection of cosmetic procedures, products and lifestyle changes to combat adult acne with amazing success.

Acne can be triggered by various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, genetics and poor skincare routines. When excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria clog your pores, it leads to the formation of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. 

Here are some our our top cosmetic procedures for combatting acne:

  • Acne Facials: A deep-cleansing acne facial reduces breakouts and balances oil production. Includes a cleanse, a light peel or manual exfoliation, extraction and application of products and masks to keep oil production low.

  • Laser Therapy: Our advanced laser treatments target bacteria and reduce sebum production, effectively clearing acne and minimizing scars.

  • Chemical Peels: Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores and improve overall skin texture, leaving you with a rejuvenated complexion.

  • Microdermabrasion: This gentle exfoliation procedure removes dead skin, reduces acne scars, and reveals healthier, radiant skin.

  • AviClear: We’re super excited to introduce this brand-new three-treatment laser procedure that has phenomenal results. AviClear uses the power of laser light to selectively target and suppress sebaceous glands, eliminating acne at the source without the need for prescription medications and their possible side effects. Also, there’s no downtime with AviClear. It’s pain-free and extremely effective. 

Our online shop is also stocked with incredible products to help treat acne:


Can I mention diet really quickly? We are what we eat and drink. Here are some quick Diet Tips to keep acne at bay:

  • Hydration is Key: Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and keep your skin hydrated.

  • Nutrient-Rich Foods: Incorporate fruits, vegetables and whole grains into your diet to support healthy skin and reduce inflammation.

  • Avoid High Glycemic Foods: Steer clear of sugary treats, processed foods and dairy products, as they can trigger acne flare-ups.

Three ways to combat adult acne:

  • Stress Management: Engage in relaxing activities like yoga, meditation or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress levels.

  • Regular Exercise: Physical activity increases blood flow, promoting a healthy complexion and reducing stress-induced breakouts.

  • Skincare Routine: Cleanse your face twice daily, moisturize and use non-comedogenic products to keep your skin clean and balanced.
