Expert Acne Treatment at Tactus Health
The Complexities of Acne and its Causes
Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting nearly 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 24, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. But it doesn’t stop there—millions of adults also struggle with acne well into their 30s, 40s, and beyond. At Tactus Health, we offer medically informed, personalized acne treatment to help you take control of your skin and restore your confidence.
Whether you’re a teenager dealing with hormonal breakouts or an adult who’s tried everything, we’re here to help you understand what acne really is, what causes it, and how to treat it effectively—with real results, not guesswork.
What is Acne?
Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage causes different types of lesions such as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules (what many people call pimples), nodules, and cysts. These breakouts commonly appear on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, but they can occur anywhere there are oil glands.
Acne can range from mild to severe. While mild acne might involve occasional small blemishes, moderate to severe acne can include deep, painful cysts that lead to scarring if left untreated. It is not caused by poor hygiene. In fact, overwashing or using harsh products can make it worse by irritating the skin.
What Causes Acne?
There is no single cause of acne. Instead, it results from a mix of internal and external factors that affect the skin. Hormones are one of the biggest contributors. During puberty, hormonal changes trigger the sebaceous (oil) glands to produce more sebum, which increases the chance of clogged pores. This is why acne is so common among teenagers. However, hormonal acne can also affect adults, especially women during their menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause.
Other contributors to acne include genetics, stress, lack of sleep, diet (especially high-glycemic foods or dairy), certain medications like steroids or lithium, environmental pollutants, and using comedogenic (pore-clogging) skincare or makeup products.
Recent studies have shown that stress alone doesn’t cause acne, but it can make it worse by triggering inflammation and oil production. Additionally, research suggests that high consumption of sugary foods may worsen acne in some individuals by influencing hormone levels like insulin and IGF-1.
At Tactus Health, we treat acne by understanding all of these underlying causes—not just the symptoms you see on the surface.
How We Treat Acne at Tactus Health
There is no universal cure for acne, but there are highly effective treatments that can dramatically reduce breakouts, prevent future flare-ups, and fade dark marks or scarring over time. Our team of licensed medical professionals begins with a detailed skin consultation to evaluate the type, severity, and triggers of your acne. From there, we design a personalized plan using safe, clinically proven methods tailored to your skin type, medical history, and lifestyle.
Our treatment options may include medical-grade facials that help clean out clogged pores and reduce surface inflammation. For deeper acne or post-inflammatory scarring, we may use chemical peels that exfoliate and improve the tone and texture of your skin over time. We also offer microneedling to boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of scars and uneven texture. Light-based therapies such as LED treatment are also used to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness.
We carefully choose prescription-strength or medical-grade skincare products that support your skin’s natural healing without causing dryness or irritation. If needed, we may recommend reviewing dietary or hormonal factors that could be contributing to your condition. Every treatment is supported by science, and every step of your care is tracked and adjusted to meet your progress
Teen Acne: Early Care Matters
Teen acne is incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. In fact, studies show that untreated moderate-to-severe acne in adolescents can lead to lifelong scarring, low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression. Puberty-related hormonal changes are the main trigger, but using the wrong products or not treating acne early enough can make things worse.
At Tactus Health, we take teen acne seriously. We create safe, supportive spaces where teens feel heard and respected. We educate both teens and parents on how to care for young skin and stop the cycle of breakouts before it leads to more permanent damage. Starting the right treatment early not only improves skin—it also protects mental health and builds self-confidence.
What to Expect From Acne Treatment
Acne treatment is a journey, not a one-time fix. Many patients begin to see early improvements within the first few weeks, but significant, lasting change often takes time. Depending on the severity of your acne, you may need a few months of consistent care to fully restore your skin’s balance and appearance.
During your first visit, we’ll take a close look at your skin, discuss your health history, and talk through any past treatments you’ve tried. We’ll explain your condition clearly, answer all your questions, and walk you through a personalized plan. Treatments are spaced out to allow your skin time to heal and respond. We stay with you every step of the way, adjusting your care as needed and celebrating your progress.
Acne doesn’t just affect your appearance—it can affect how you feel about yourself. That’s why we focus on results you can see and support you can feel. At Tactus Health, you’re not just getting treatment. You’re gaining a partner in your long-term skin health.
Clear Skin Starts With the Right Support
Acne is common, but struggling with it alone shouldn’t be. Whether you’re facing teen breakouts, adult cystic acne, or years of scarring, we’re here to help you take control with proven treatments, professional guidance, and real empathy.
