Adolescent Hormonal Acne Treatment: Real Case with Results

How to Effectively Treat Hormonal Acne in Teenagers

Teenage acne is one of the most frequent conditions in the skincare business, but also one of the most complex to treat when an active hormonal component is involved.

In this clinical case, specialist Jedhill Acevedo Mirena worked with a 16-year-old patient presenting active acne with inflammation, excess sebum, and skin congestion.

To address the problem comprehensively, a combined protocol was chosen using the Zemits Verstand HD, complemented by the Zemits VivaLumix, allowing for the simultaneous treatment of the primary causes of acne.

Client Information

Age: 16 years old
Main Concerns:

  • Active hormonal acne
  • Open and closed comedones (blackheads and whiteheads)
  • Inflammation
  • Excess sebum
  • Irregular texture

The client presented constant breakouts and difficulty controlling oil production, resulting in congested and reactive skin.

Initial Skin Condition
Before treatment, the skin showed clear signs of active acne:

  • High concentration of comedones in the frontal (forehead) area
  • Inflammatory lesions on the cheeks, chin, and jawline
  • Generalized redness
  • Clogged and dilated pores
  • Excess oil
  • Irregular texture

This skin type requires a global approach, as acne is not dependent on a single factor but rather a combination of sebum, bacteria, inflammation, and keratinization.

About the Specialist

The treatment was performed by Jedhill Acevedo Mirena, a specialist in advanced facial treatments.

Based on her clinical experience, she highlights:

"I chose Zemits for the versatility of its equipment and the possibility of performing complete treatments in a single session. What I value most is the combination of technologies and the visible results from the very first sessions."

The Zemits Verstand HD system was carefully selected for its ability to integrate multiple advanced technologies into a single treatment protocol, offering an effective, safe, and highly professional experience.

Thanks to this innovative combination, it is possible to:

  • Perform a deep cleanse that purifies the skin without causing irritation or damage.
  • Control bacterial proliferation, one of the main drivers of acne.
  • Regulate sebum production, helping to balance oily or combination skin.
  • Visibly improve skin quality and texture, providing radiance and uniformity.

In the management of acne, this technological synergy is fundamental, as it allows for the treatment of not only visible symptoms but also the underlying causes.

The result: Healthier, more balanced skin with real, lasting improvements.

A personalized 4-session protocol was designed, focusing on treating all causes of acne:

Step-by-Step:

  1. Initial Cleansing
  2. Hydro-dermabrasion (HydroDiamond™)
  3. Manual extraction of comedones
  4. Electroporation
  5. Oxygen Therapy
  6. LED Therapy with Zemits VivaLumix (blue light)
  7. Soothing Mask (Silkentox)

Products Applied:

This protocol allowed for deep action without compromising the skin barrier.

After 4 sessions, visible and progressive improvements were observed:

  • Significant reduction of comedones
  • Decrease in inflammatory lesions
  • Reduced redness
  • Improved skin texture
  • Cleaner, more balanced, and healthier skin

The evolution was especially notable on the forehead, chin, and jawline, where skin congestion decreased significantly.

This case demonstrates that adolescent acne can be treated effectively when approached through a comprehensive method.
The combination of Zemits technologies allowed for:

  • Control of bacterial activity
  • Regulation of excess sebum
  • Reduction of inflammation
  • Improvement of skin quality

All of this was achieved without aggressive treatments, showing progressive results from the very first sessions.

To maintain results and prevent relapses:

  • Daily cleansing with products specifically formulated for acne-prone skin.
  • Lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration.
  • Daily use of SPF 50 sunscreen.
  • Avoiding the manipulation (picking) of lesions.
  • Consistency with the treatment plan.
  • Following a proper home-care routine.

The success of this case lies not just in the protocol, but in the strategy.

Treating Acne as a System, Not an Isolated Problem

When you combine technologies like Zemits Verstand HD and Zemits VivaLumix, you:

  • Address all underlying causes in a single session.
  • Increase treatment efficacy.

  • Ongoing Treatments: Leads to the sale of session packages.
  • Long-term Loyalty: Builds trust through visible results.

Incorporating multifunctional equipment like Zemits marks the difference between simply "performing cleansings" and truly treating acne.
