If you've decided it's time for professional help with your acne, you're in the right place. Beauty Studio by Hanna is based in Mount Pleasant, SC, and our licensed esthetician specializes in professional facials, including acne-focused treatments. On this page, I'll walk you through what you need to know and the treatment options available at the studio.
Understanding Your Skin
Let's quickly walk through the main types, causes, and the most obvious mistakes that cause acne.
Types of Acne
What Causes Acne
- Hormonal balance. Depending on your hormones, how much oil your skin produces is going to be different for everyone. The most obvious shift is puberty, but hormones can trigger breakouts at any age.
- The wrong skincare routine. Being too aggressive, constantly switching products, or mixing the wrong active ingredients can throw your skin out of balance.
- Products that are too heavy. Creams or SPF that are too rich for your skin type can clog pores and make breakouts worse.
- Inflammation & bacteria. A clogged pore creates the perfect environment for C. acnes bacteria to multiply, which triggers inflammation.
- Stress. Raises your stress hormones, which can increase oil production and inflammation.
- Diet. A lot of sugar, refined carbs, and certain dairy products can make acne worse for some people.
- Serious hormonal imbalance or genetic predisposition. For some, acne runs deeper than lifestyle. Working with a professional esthetician, you'll find the best path for your skin, and if needed, you'll be referred to a dermatologist.
Common Mistakes That Cause Acne
- Not removing makeup before bed
- Over-cleansing until skin feels tight
- Layering too many actives at once
- Using a moisturizer or SPF that's too heavy
- Scrubbing with physical exfoliants
- Picking at breakouts
- Switching products constantly

Real Reviews From Real Clients
Your First Visit
If you're not sure where to start, book a Custom Facial as your first appointment. Here's what that means: at our first session, we'll get to know each other, I'll take a look at your skin, we'll talk, and I'll decide which treatment is the most productive one for you at this stage, one that already gives you a first result. We'll also talk through what your ongoing treatment could look like. It all depends on your specific concern and where your skin is right now. I work with everything from early breakouts to post-acne scarring.
You're always welcome to bring your skincare to your first visit, or just take photos of it ahead of time. I'll walk you through how it's working for your skin specifically: what to cut, and what's actually worth keeping. The goal isn't to sell you a shelf of new products. It's to get the ones you already own working together properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Adult hormonal acne is actually one of the most common things I see in the studio, especially in women with oily or combination skin. If you're in Mount Pleasant and dealing with this, I'd love to help, call me at (843) 499-5444 or book a first visit online.
This depends a lot on your skin and how consistent you are with your at-home routine. Most clients see improvement from the first session, with a full plan built over several visits. You can always take a look at the treatments we offer to get a sense of what might fit.
You can book online through our booking platform, choose the treatment you're interested in, and pick a time from our live calendar. If you're not sure yet, book a Custom Facial as your first visit. You're also welcome to call me directly if that feels more comfortable.
In the studio, I usually reach for BioRePeel, CO2 Carboxy, Red Carpet Facial, HydroDermabrasion, or Microchanneling, depending on your skin. If you're in Mount Pleasant, come in so we can figure out exactly what your skin needs.
Not always. Teenage acne is a normal part of hormonal changes, and in most cases it's better to wait it out rather than overload the skin with too many products, which usually damages the skin barrier and makes things worse. That said, if breakouts are painful or look severely inflamed, please see a dermatologist. This is also often when interest in makeup picks up, so removing it properly matters. You're welcome to come in together with a parent, bring your skincare, and we'll figure out what's actually right for your skin right now.
Over-cleansing and using products that are too harsh for the skin, which damages the skin barrier and makes acne worse instead of better.
I'll give you a simple, tailored routine after your first visit, based on what your skin actually needs.
