Top 5 Benefits of Skinwave for Acne-Prone and Oily Skin

Acne-prone and oily skin can be frustrating, especially when clogged pores and breakouts keep returning. Traditional facials often provide short-term relief, but many people require a more comprehensive treatment. Skinwave technology combines hydration, cleansing, and therapy to create clearer, more balanced skin.

At Aria Medispa in Sterling, VA, Dr. Leila Kump leads a team that specializes in advanced skin treatments. Dr. Kump is a medical doctor with training from the University of Kansas, Harvard Medical School, and the National Institutes of Health. She has more than 18 years of experience in cosmetic injections and aesthetic procedures, making her one of the most trusted providers in the area. 

1. Deep Cleansing With AHA and BHA Solutions

Skinwave utilizes a combination of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) to target excess oil and impurities. These solutions:

  • Exfoliate surface cells: Helping to smooth texture and brighten tone.
  • Clear clogged pores: Reducing buildup that leads to blackheads and breakouts.
  • Calm inflammation: Minimizing redness and irritation from active acne.

This powerful duo refreshes the skin and helps prevent future flare-ups.

2. Hydrogen Therapy for Acne Control

A unique step in Skinwave treatments involves hydrogen therapy. Highly concentrated hydrogen water helps reduce oxidative stress, a factor that contributes to the development of acne and aging. Benefits include:

  • Neutralizing free radicals: Protecting skin cells from damage.
  • Improving hydration: Restoring balance to oily skin.
  • Reducing inflammation: Soothing irritated areas prone to breakouts.

Hydrogen therapy creates healthier skin at the cellular level.

3. Hydration With Hyaluronic Acid

Even oily skin needs hydration. Dehydrated skin may overproduce oil, exacerbating breakouts. Skinwave addresses this with hyaluronic acid, which:

  • Boosts moisture retention: Keeping skin hydrated without clogging pores.
  • Soothes irritation: Calming redness and sensitivity.
  • Balances skin barrier: Supporting long-term skin health.

The result is skin that feels refreshed, not greasy.

4. Electroporation and LED Therapy

Skinwave combines electroporation and LED light therapy to improve treatment results. These advanced steps:

  • Increase absorption: Allowing active ingredients to penetrate more deeply.
  • Target bacteria: Blue LED light reduces acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
  • Stimulate repair: Red LED light supports healing and collagen renewal.

This combination improves both acne management and skin resilience.

5. Lymphatic Stimulation With the Contouring Roller

The final stage of Skinwave involves a relaxing contouring roller. This step:

  • Improves circulation: Promoting healthier skin function.
  • Encourages lymphatic drainage: Reducing puffiness and toxin buildup.
  • Adds relaxation: Making the treatment both beneficial and enjoyable.

This finishing touch makes Skinwave a complete skin wellness experience.
