Acne Treatment

Personalized Care for Every Stage of Acne

Dealing with acne can be challenging, whether you're facing occasional breakouts or more severe, persistent cases. At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive acne treatment approach that’s tailored to your unique skin type and concerns. Our goal is to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin by addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of acne, offering effective solutions for lasting improvement.

Customized Acne Treatment Plans

No two cases of acne are the same, which is why we create personalized treatment plans based on the type and severity of your acne. Our dermatologists carefully assess your skin to develop a strategy that works for you, targeting everything from mild blackheads and whiteheads to more severe cystic or inflammatory acne.

Mild to Moderate Acne: For individuals experiencing common acne breakouts, including blackheads, whiteheads, and pustules, we offer treatments designed to reduce oil production and minimize inflammation.

Severe and Persistent Acne: If you suffer from deeper, more painful cystic acne or chronic breakouts that haven’t responded to over-the-counter treatments, we provide advanced therapies to control and improve even the most stubborn cases.

Targeted Medications for Clearer Skin

One of the key components of effective acne treatment is the use of prescription medications tailored to your skin’s needs. Depending on your condition, we may prescribe topical or oral medications to reduce acne-causing bacteria, decrease inflammation, and promote skin cell turnover.

Topical Treatments: These include creams, gels, or lotions containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and antibiotics that help to unclog pores and reduce breakouts. We carefully choose products that match your skin type to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Oral Medications: For more severe cases, oral antibiotics or other medications like isotretinoin (Accutane) may be recommended to control acne from within, reducing bacteria and inflammation that cause painful cysts and nodules.

Hormonal Therapies: For those whose acne is influenced by hormonal fluctuations, especially adult women, hormonal treatments such as birth control pills or spironolactone can help regulate oil production and improve skin clarity.

In-Office Acne Treatments for Enhanced Results

In addition to at-home medications, we offer a range of in-office treatments to accelerate your acne-clearing journey and improve skin health. These treatments are designed to reduce active breakouts, prevent future flare-ups, and address issues like scarring or hyperpigmentation that acne often leaves behind.

Chemical Peels: A chemical peel helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores by using a special acid solution to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, clearer skin underneath. This treatment can also help lighten dark spots left by previous breakouts.

Laser and Light Therapy: Using advanced laser and light technologies, we target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of acne scars. These treatments are effective for both active acne and long-term skin texture improvement.

Microneedling: Ideal for reducing acne scars and improving skin texture, microneedling stimulates collagen production to heal damaged skin and promote a smoother, more even complexion.

Extractions: For patients with clogged pores, we offer professional extractions to safely remove blackheads and whiteheads without damaging the skin, reducing the risk of infection or scarring.

Long-Term Acne Management

Achieving clearer skin is just the beginning—our team is dedicated to helping you maintain it long-term. We provide ongoing support and monitoring to adjust your treatment plan as your skin evolves, ensuring your acne stays under control. Our goal is to not only treat your current breakouts but also prevent future flare-ups for lasting results.

Customized Skincare Regimens

In addition to prescription treatments, we believe that a well-designed skincare regimen is essential for managing acne. Our dermatologists will recommend the right combination of gentle cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers, and sunscreens suited to your skin type to keep your pores clear and your skin healthy without causing irritation.

Addressing Acne Scars

For many individuals, acne can leave behind unwanted scars or dark spots. Our clinic offers specialized treatments to minimize the appearance of acne scars and restore your skin’s smooth texture. From microneedling to laser therapy, we have a range of options to improve the look of post-acne marks, leaving you with more even-toned skin.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots left behind after a breakout can be treated with brightening agents like hydroquinone or vitamin C serums, along with laser treatments to even out skin tone.

Acne Scarring: Textural changes from severe acne, such as pitted scars, can be treated with microneedling or fractional laser treatments to encourage new collagen formation and smooth out the skin.
