If you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, you know how frustrating it can be to find the right balance. Harsh scrubs and strong products often leave your skin feeling raw, while doing nothing can make breakouts linger. At Skin MD and Beyond in Plano, TX, Dr. Fiona Wright specializes in advanced acne treatments that are safe and effective, even for the most reactive skin types. With over two decades of experience in aesthetic medicine, she helps patients calm inflammation and build healthier, more resilient skin.
Why Sensitive Skin and Acne Often Go Together
Acne and sensitivity are closely linked because the skin’s protective barrier is often compromised, allowing irritants to penetrate more easily. This triggers redness, stinging, and breakouts. Overusing drying acne products or aggressive exfoliation can exacerbate the situation by stripping the skin of its natural oils and increasing inflammation. The key is restoring balance and targeting acne in a way that supports your skin’s health.
Skip Harsh Home Remedies
While it’s tempting to try over-the-counter spot treatments or DIY remedies, these often contain alcohol, fragrances, or high concentrations of active ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin. Instead, opt for gentle, pH-balanced cleansers and moisturizers that strengthen your barrier. Always use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage, as this can aggravate inflammation.
Professional Treatments That Calm and Clear
Skin MD and Beyond offers a range of medical-grade treatments designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin:
- Facial: This gentle, multi-step treatment cleanses pores, removes impurities, and infuses hydrating serums without irritating your skin.
- Chemical Peels: Mild peels can reduce clogged pores and inflammation, helping to calm breakouts while supporting cell turnover.
- Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): For moderate to severe acne, PDT targets overactive oil glands and acne-causing bacteria to reduce breakouts and redness.
- Microneedling: When performed under expert guidance, microneedling can improve acne scars and support collagen production without triggering sensitivity.
Dr. Wright will create a customized plan that considers your skin’s unique triggers, ensuring treatments are effective yet gentle.
