Why Do Acne and Scars Develop?
Understanding the root cause of your acne and how scars form is the first step toward finding a lasting solution. Acne is a complex skin condition, and scarring is the unfortunate result of the skin’s healing process gone awry.
The Cause of Active Acne
Acne begins when hair follicles become blocked with excess oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. This creates the perfect environment for P. acnes bacteria to multiply, leading to inflammation, redness, and the formation of pimples, pustules, or deeper cysts and nodules. Triggers can range from hormonal shifts and stress to genetics and lifestyle factors.
How Acne Scars Form
Scars are the result of intense inflammation that damages the collagen within the skin’s dermal layer. When the body attempts to repair this damage after a breakout, it can produce either too little collagen, creating a depressed (atrophic) scar, or too much, resulting in a raised (hypertrophic) scar. This leaves the skin’s texture uneven long after the acne has cleared.
Our Expert Solutions for Acne and Scarring
At Studio 16, we target acne and scarring with a dual strategy. Our clinical treatments are designed to control breakouts at their source and rebuild the skin’s surface for a smoother appearance. Here is how we can help:
Control Breakouts with Oxygeneo® Balance
The Problem
Active acne, oily skin, and clogged pores that lead to constant breakouts.
The Solution
The Oxygeneo® Balance Facial is specifically designed for acne-prone skin. It uses activated bamboo charcoal to absorb toxins and impurities, while Camu Camu extract delivers a dose of vitamins and antioxidants.
How it helps
This 3-in-1 facial purifies clogged pores, reduces acne-causing bacteria, and balances oil production. It provides an immediate cleansing and mattifying effect, helping to calm inflammation and prevent future breakouts without irritation.
Eliminate Bacteria with Blue LED Light Therapy
The Problem
Persistent, inflamed pimples and redness caused by active bacteria.
The Solution
Blue LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a specific wavelength of light to target and destroy P. acnes bacteria living on and under the skin.
How it helps
By eliminating the bacteria at its source, this therapy effectively reduces active acne and calms inflammation. It is a painless and gentle approach that helps to manage breakouts and is an excellent preventative measure.
Repair Scars with Microneedling
The Problem
Depressed acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) and uneven texture left behind by old breakouts.
The Solution
Microneedling is the gold standard for scar revision. It uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, initiating a powerful healing cascade.
How it helps
This process stimulates the production of new, organized collagen and elastin that works to fill in pitted scars and remodel uneven texture. Over a series of treatments, it significantly improves scar depth and restores a smoother skin surface.
Brighten & Resurface with Green Peel®
The Problem
Dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and minor textural irregularities left by acne.
The Solution
The Green Peel® is a natural, herbal method for deep exfoliation and skin renewal. It encourages the skin to shed its damaged outer layers.
How it helps
This peel is highly effective at lifting the discoloration left behind by healed pimples and smoothing away shallow textural issues. It accelerates cell turnover, revealing a brighter, clearer, and more evenly toned complexion.
