Your Complete Guide to Common Skin Concerns & Treatments at The Spa at MPS

Almost everyone struggles with a skin concern at some point - whether it's stubborn breakouts, dark spots, or those little bumps on the arms that never seem to go away. The good news? You don't have to live with them. At The Spa at MPS, our licensed providers offer advanced treatments and medical-grade skincare to create custom solutions for every concern.

Here's a guide to some of the most common skin issues we see - and how we can help.

Acne & Breakouts

What it is: Acne can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, or deeper cystic breakouts. Triggers include oil production, bacteria, hormones, or even stress.

How we can help: 

• DiamondGlow or customized acne facials to deeply cleanse and extract 
• Chemical peels to unclog pores and fade post-acne marks 
• Medical-grade acne systems to calm inflammation and prevent future breakouts

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

What it is: As we age, collagen and elastin break down, leading to wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Lifestyle factors like sun exposure or stress can speed up the process.

How we can help: 

• Neurotoxin injections (Botox, Dysport, etc.) to smooth and prevent lines 
• Microneedling to rebuild collagen and improve texture 
• Anti-aging facials and medical-grade skincare with retinol and growth factors

Rosacea & Redness

What it is: Rosacea causes facial redness, flushing, and sometimes acne-like bumps. Triggers include heat, sun, alcohol, and stress.

How we can help: 

• Soothing facials designed for sensitive skin 
• Laser and light therapies to reduce redness and visible veins 
• Calming medical-grade skincare with ingredients like niacinamide to strengthen skin

Melasma & Pigmentation

What it is: Melasma shows up as brown or gray-brown patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. It's triggered by sun exposure, hormones, or pregnancy.

How we can help: 

• Chemical peels tailored for pigmentation 
• Laser/light treatments to safely fade dark patches 
• Medical-grade brightening regimens with pigment-blocking ingredients

Keratosis Pilaris (KP)

What it is: Those tiny, rough bumps (often called "chicken skin") on the arms, thighs, or cheeks caused by keratin buildup.

How we can help: 

• Body peels to smooth texture and unclog follicles 
• DiamondGlow or exfoliating treatments to polish skin 
• Skincare with lactic acid to keep bumps under control

Sun Damage & Uneven Skin Tone

What it is: Years of UV exposure can cause sun spots, dullness, and premature aging.

How we can help: 

• Laser/light therapies to fade dark spots 
• Brightening peels and facials for smoother, more even skin 
• Medical-grade SPF to prevent new damage

Texture, Scarring & Enlarged Pores

What it is: Past acne, injuries, or natural skin changes can leave skin rough or uneven. Enlarged pores are also common with age and oil production.

How we can help: 

• Microneedling to resurface scars and shrink pores 
• Exfoliating peels or facials for smoother texture 
• At-home skincare with exfoliating acids for maintenance

Dryness, Dullness & Dehydration

What it is: Lack of hydration or barrier damage can leave skin tight, flaky, or tired-looking.

How we can help: 

• Hydrating facials for instant glow 
• DiamondGlow with SkinMedica serums to restore radiance 
• Barrier repairing skincare to lock in moisture long-term

Under-Eye Concerns

What it is: Dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines under the eyes can be caused by genetics, aging, or lifestyle.

How we can help: 

• Targeted eye treatments during facials to de-puff and hydrate 
• Microneedling or peels to refresh skin around the eyes 
• Medical-grade eye creams for at-home care
