Personalized Evaluation at Aviva Med Spa
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with excess sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and debris. These blocked pores create an environment where naturally occurring bacteria can multiply, triggering inflammation that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules. Hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and certain lifestyle factors may also contribute to increased oil production and recurring breakouts.
At Aviva Med Spa, acne treatment begins with a personalized evaluation of your skin, acne severity, and contributing factors. Your treatment plan is then curated to reduce active breakouts, calm inflammation, and minimize the risk of future blemishes and acne scars.

What is Facial Balancing?
At Aviva Med Spa, facial balancing is more than just a treatment—it’s a thoughtful, balanced approach designed to bring harmony to your features. Our expert injectors use precise filler placement to restore balance and enhance facial proportions, making this treatment an excellent option for those experiencing volume loss or asymmetry. Full facial balancing targets various points on the face from bottom to top. It may include filler injections in the forehead, temples, cheeks, lips, and chin, depending on your concerns and goals. By applying precise filler dosages across the entire face, our injectors can deliver a cohesive final appearance that aims to balance your unique features, rather than alter your appearance.

- Blackheads (open clogged pores)
- Whiteheads (closed clogged pores)
- Red, inflamed pimples
- Tender or painful bumps
- Deep cysts or nodules

- Enlarged or clogged pores

Your Treatment Options for Acne at Aviva
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating acids to dissolve the bonds between damaged surface skin cells, encouraging controlled exfoliation and accelerated cellular turnover. This process helps unclog pores, reduce excess oil, decrease acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and gradually improve post-acne discoloration for a clearer complexion.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled microchannels within the skin, stimulating the body’s wound-healing response. This increases collagen and elastin production while improving skin remodeling. For patients with acne, microneedling is especially effective for softening acne scars, refining uneven texture, and promoting smoother, more even skin over time.
Vivace® RF Microneedling
Vivace RF microneedling combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the skin’s surface. The controlled thermal energy stimulates deeper collagen remodeling while the microchannels trigger tissue repair. This helps improve acne scars, refine enlarged pores, enhance skin texture, and support long-term skin renewal.
Medical-Grade Skincare
Medical-grade skincare uses clinically formulated active ingredients that penetrate more effectively than over-the-counter products. Ingredients such as retinoids, exfoliating acids, antioxidants, and other physician-recommended formulations help regulate cell turnover, reduce pore congestion, minimize excess oil production, and support healthier skin while complementing and maintaining the results of your in-office acne treatment plan.
Aviva Med Spa Restores the Triangle of Youth with Facial Balancing
Facial balancing is all about restoring harmony, and it starts with understanding how facial volume shifts over time. In youth, our facial structure resembles an inverted triangle: volume is concentrated in the upper face, with lifted cheeks, full temples, and a defined jawline. But as we age, that triangle slowly flips. Volume loss in the midface and temples, combined with gravity, causes the lower face to appear heavier. Jowls become more prominent, and facial contours soften.
Through strategic facial balancing with dermal fillers and biostimulators like Sculptra®, we can subtly reverse this shift. By restoring volume to key areas such as the cheeks, temples, and lateral face, we create a natural-looking lift that improves overall facial symmetry and makes the lower face appear slimmer, without surgery.
This approach isn’t about overfilling or changing your appearance. It’s about using small, intentional enhancements to support your natural bone structure and bring back youthful definition.

Understanding the Differences Between HA Fillers & Sculptra Fillers for Facial Balancing
How They Work: HA is a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and holds moisture. Injected fillers instantly add volume and smoothness where needed.
Results: Immediate, visible improvements that can be fine-tuned during treatment.
Best For: Patients seeking quick, noticeable enhancements to lips, cheeks, under-eyes, or jawline symmetry.
Longevity: Typically lasts 6–18 months, depending on the area treated and the type of filler used.
Reversibility: Can be dissolved if adjustments are needed.
How It Works: Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biostimulatory substance that gradually stimulates collagen production in the skin.
Results: Subtle, natural changes that appear over several weeks as new collagen forms and builds.
Best For: Patients looking for gradual, long-lasting restoration of facial structure, especially in areas with significant volume loss.
Longevity: Results can last up to 2 years or more, with a series of treatments recommended for best outcomes.
Reversibility: Cannot be dissolved, as results come from your body’s own collagen production.
For those who want instant results with the flexibility to adjust, HA fillers are often the go-to option. If your goal is long-term collagen stimulation and gradual rejuvenation, Sculptra may be the better choice. In many cases, a combination approach delivers the most balanced, natural-looking results.
