Types of Acne on Different Skin Types and How to Treat Them with Midas Wellness Hub
Acne is not limited to teenagers. It affects people across all age groups and skin types. Whether it’s a sudden breakout before an event, recurring cystic acne around the jawline, or small bumps on the forehead, every form of acne tells a different story.
At Midas Wellness Hub, we understand that acne is not just a surface concern. It reflects internal imbalances involving hormones, gut health, stress, and nutrition. Through our unique blend of functional medicine and advanced aesthetic treatments, we focus on achieving long-term results and healthy, balanced skin.
Understanding Acne from the Inside Out
Acne forms when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. But the underlying reasons vary from person to person.
Functional medicine helps identify the root causes such as:
- Hormonal imbalances involving estrogen, testosterone, or cortisol
- Gut inflammation and poor digestion
- Nutrient deficiencies
- High sugar or processed food intake
- Stress and disturbed sleep cycles
At Midas Wellness Hub, the first step is to decode your internal imbalances before recommending any treatment. When internal systems are balanced, the skin begins to heal naturally.
Types of Acne on Different Skin Types
Every skin type, oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, shows acne differently. Understanding your skin type is essential for accurate treatment and lasting results.
1. Oily Skin – The Overactive Sebum Producer
Common acne types: Blackheads, whiteheads, and pustular acne.
Why it happens: Oily skin produces excess sebum that mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, clogging pores. Heat, humidity, stress, and hormonal changes worsen this condition.
Functional medicine view: Excess oil often reflects hormonal imbalance or insulin spikes from a high-sugar diet. Cortisol, the stress hormone, also triggers overproduction of oil.
Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub:
- Deep cleansing acne facials to clear oil and bacteria buildup
- Salicylic acid and vitamin C peels for gentle exfoliation
- LED blue light therapy to reduce bacteria and inflammation
- Functional detox program to support liver balance and hormonal health
At-home care: Include zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds and lentils. Drink plenty of water and avoid over-cleansing, which can increase oil production.
2. Dry Skin – Breakouts with Flakiness
Common acne types: Small red bumps or papules on flaky areas.
Why it happens: A damaged skin barrier allows bacteria to penetrate while dehydration slows healing. Using harsh cleansers or skipping moisturizers worsens the issue.
Functional medicine view: Dry, acne-prone skin may indicate essential fatty acid deficiency or poor gut absorption of nutrients.
Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub:
- HydraGlow facials to hydrate and cleanse simultaneously
- Oxygen therapy to restore moisture and speed healing
- Omega balance supplements to strengthen skin from within
- Personalized gut repair plans to improve nutrient absorption
At-home care: Use ceramide-based moisturizers and include omega-3 rich foods like flaxseeds and walnuts.
3. Combination Skin – The T-Zone Challenge
Common acne types: Blackheads on the nose and forehead, occasional cysts on the chin.
Why it happens: The T-zone is oily while the cheeks remain dry. Hormonal changes or the wrong skincare products can trigger this pattern.
Functional medicine view: Combination skin acne is often linked to hormonal fluctuations, especially in women with PCOS or mild insulin resistance.
Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub:
- Customized facials that treat oily and dry zones separately
- Mild chemical peels using mandelic or glycolic acid
- RF microneedling or HIFU if acne scars are present
- Functional hormone rebalancing for PCOS or menstrual irregularities
At-home care: Maintain a balanced routine, consistent sleep, and avoid frequent switching of skincare brands.
4. Sensitive Skin – Acne Triggered by Inflammation
Common acne types: Red, irritated, inflamed pimples or small allergic bumps.
Why it happens: Sensitive skin reacts easily to fragrances, harsh ingredients, or pollutants. Its barrier function is weak, leading to chronic inflammation.
Functional medicine view: Sensitive acne often connects to leaky gut, food sensitivities, or autoimmune triggers causing internal inflammation.
Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub:
- Calming facials with ingredients like aloe vera and green tea
- LED red light therapy to soothe inflammation
- Functional gut-healing protocols to improve tolerance
- Glutathione IV therapy to reduce oxidative stress and brighten skin
At-home care: Avoid dairy and processed foods. Use fragrance-free products designed for sensitive skin.
5. Normal Skin – Hormonal or Stress Breakouts
Common acne types: Occasional whiteheads or cysts during stress, menstrual cycles, or diet changes.
Why it happens: Even well-balanced skin can break out when the body is under stress, lacking sleep, or exposed to toxins.
Functional medicine view: Such acne often indicates temporary hormonal fluctuations or toxin overload from an unhealthy lifestyle.
Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub:
- Vitamin infusion facials to restore nutrients and hydration
- Glutathione and vitamin C IV drips for detoxification and glow
- Functional stress management techniques to reduce cortisol levels
At-home care: Prioritize 7–8 hours of sleep, maintain hydration, and practice mindfulness or yoga regularly.
Understanding Acne Types and Their Solutions
- Whiteheads and blackheads: These are the mildest forms of acne. Deep cleansing facials and gentle chemical peels at Midas help unclog pores and remove buildup.
- Papules and pustules: Red, inflamed bumps that may contain pus. Anti-inflammatory facials combined with LED blue light therapy help calm these lesions effectively.
- Nodules and cysts: These are deeper, painful forms of acne that often result from hormonal imbalance. A combination of hormone-balancing functional medicine programs, glutathione therapy, and RF microneedling provides lasting improvement.
- Post-acne marks: Dark spots left behind after healing are treated with vitamin C peels, collagen facials, and HIFU treatments.
- Acne scars: Pitted or uneven skin textures respond best to RF microneedling and collagen induction treatments. Over time, these therapies smooth and tighten the skin.
Advanced Treatments at Midas Wellness Hub
Medical-grade facials designed for different skin types help remove impurities, calm active breakouts, and balance sebum without stripping the skin. These facials are curated under medical supervision for maximum safety and long-term benefit.
Midas offers mild and moderate-strength peels using salicylic, mandelic, or glycolic acids. These help exfoliate dead cells, control oil, and fade pigmentation. Peels are customized based on skin sensitivity and acne severity.
Glutathione Therapy
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that detoxifies the liver, brightens the skin, and reduces inflammation that causes acne. When combined with vitamin C, it promotes collagen production and faster healing.
Benefits include clearer skin tone, reduced pigmentation, and stronger antioxidant defense.
Collagen-Boosting Treatments
For those dealing with scars or dullness, collagen therapies like HIFU and RF microneedling are highly effective. They stimulate natural collagen, tighten skin, and repair texture from within.
At Midas, we also provide collagen nutrition support through amino acids, vitamin C, and minerals to strengthen results internally.
Different wavelengths of LED light target specific concerns. Blue light kills bacteria and reduces inflammation, while red light enhances healing and promotes collagen growth. LED therapy is safe, non-invasive, and ideal for all skin types.
IV Skin Rejuvenation
Customized IV drips combining glutathione, vitamin C, and essential nutrients provide deep nourishment from within. These infusions detoxify the body, strengthen immunity, and improve skin texture and tone.
