Acne
Serving the Greater San Bernardino County Area including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Upland, CA
While acne is typically considered a condition for teenagers, in reality, it can affect people of all ages. It can also come in a variety of forms and appear for different reasons. What’s more, it often strikes when we least want it to, like right before a romantic date or an important interview.
If you’re looking for wellness services that may support acne-prone skin, whether for a one-time breakout or a recurring situation, we may be able to help. At Recovery Lab of Rancho Cucamonga, we have different wellness services to help rejuvenate your skin.

- What are Common Acne Triggers?
Acne can have multiple triggers. Hormone imbalances or fluctuations, genetics, stress, a poor diet, and a substandard skincare routine can all increase the odds of an acne breakout.
Other potential acne triggers include excess oil production, taking certain medications, frequent makeup wearing, and the use of pore-clogging skincare products.
While acne isn’t always avoidable, maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, washing your face daily, and regulating stress may help reduce the frequency and severity of your acne.
- Can Wellness Services Support Acne-Prone Skin?
Certain wellness services may help support acne-prone skin, including:
- Red Light Therapy: Exposure to certain wavelengths. Potential benefits include reduced inflammation, collagen support, and help regulating the skin’s oil production
- Cryotherapy: Short-term exposure to extremely cold air. May temporarily reduce the appearance of inflammation and redness, may support balanced oil production, and may help with excess bacteria on the skin’s surface
- Are Wellness Services Safe for Teens?
Yes, many wellness services are considered safe for most teenagers. However, it depends on the service.
For instance, red light therapy in moderation and within a professional setting is considered low risk for teens. When it comes to services like cryotherapy, however, there’s not yet enough research to prove it’s safe for healthy teens.
When in doubt, speak with child’s physician before booking them a wellness service.
- Can I Combine Professional Skincare and Wellness Services?
In many cases, professional skincare and wellness services can be combined, though it’s best to check with your skincare provider first. One is not necessarily a replacement for the other. Rather, they can complement one another, working differently for the same desired outcome.
For example, red light therapy is commonly paired with collagen induction facials, microneedling, or IPL sessions. Common pairings with cryotherapy, on the other hand, can include chemical peels, sculpting facials, or vampire facials.
Multiple wellness services, too, can be combined. Our team here at Recovery Lab can help you come up with an ideal weekly wellness routine fit for your needs, budget, and availability.
- How Often Should I Book My Appointments?
Appointment frequency of wellness services for acne will depend on multiple factors. The level of severity of your acne, the cause of your acne, your budget, and the service(s) you select can impact how often you’ll need to book.
For red light therapy, we suggest going a few times a week for the first month or so. If you notice changes in your skin, you may reduce appointments to once a week or every two weeks for maintenance.
For skin prone to redness and inflammation, consider attending a cryotherapy session once or twice a week, particularly during a current flareup.
