Acne is a prevalent, chronic skin condition characterized by inflammatory spots and pimples, particularly affecting the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. At Make You Well, our team specializes in dermatology and skincare, offering precise and successful acne treatments.
Acne manifests in several forms, including whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and cysts. It is the most widespread skin issue in the United States, impacting around fifty million Americans annually. Although acne often arises during puberty due to the activation of sebaceous glands, it can appear at any age. While acne itself is not typically harmful, it can lead to scarring and feelings of insecurity among those affected.
Many clients at Make You Well in Colleyville find relief through medications tailored to manage acne. Consulting with our skilled providers is the first step towards preventing acne scars, as they can design a comprehensive treatment strategy suited to your needs.
Beyond prescription solutions, our team at Make You Well also crafts personalized skincare routines incorporating high-quality, medical-grade products from Skin Better and SkinCeuticals. We frequently suggest tailored facial treatments and Hydrafacial regimens to enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

Research suggests that high-glycemic foods, dairy products, and sugary beverages may worsen acne in some individuals by triggering hormonal and inflammatory responses. While diet alone is rarely the only cause, making healthy dietary choices can complement your medical acne treatment. Our providers can discuss nutritional strategies alongside prescription options.
Yes. HydraFacial® uses a vortex-extraction system to deep-clean congested pores, remove impurities, and infuse the skin with calming and anti-inflammatory serums—making it an excellent complement to prescription acne treatment. Our aesthetics team at Make You Well Colleyville can coordinate a combined medical and skincare approach tailored to your skin.
Whiteheads and blackheads are non-inflammatory forms of acne caused by clogged pores—the difference is whether the pore is closed (whitehead) or open and oxidized (blackhead). Cystic acne is a deeper, more severe, inflammatory type that forms painful nodules under the skin and often requires prescription oral or topical treatment to resolve.
Some acne treatments—particularly retinoids and certain topical agents—can cause an initial ‘purging’ phase in which underlying comedones surface faster as cell turnover accelerates. This is temporary and typically improves within 4–6 weeks. If worsening is severe or prolonged, contact your Make You Well provider to reassess your treatment plan.
