Our Advanced Acne Treatments
We offer a wide range of acne treatment options tailored to your unique skin needs and goals. Your provider will assess your skin and develop a custom treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:
Acne Shot (Cortisone Injection)
Target stubborn, inflamed acne lesions like cysts and nodules with this quick, effective treatment. Cortisone injections help reduce inflammation and accelerate healing, often minimizing the size and discomfort of lesions within 24–48 hours.
Microneedling
This minimally invasive treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and diminish the appearance of acne scars. Microneedling also supports healthier skin over time, making it an excellent long-term option for acne-prone individuals.
Chemical Peel
By exfoliating the top layers of the skin, chemical peels clear out clogged pores, reduce oil buildup, and soothe inflammation. The result is smoother, clearer skin with a visible reduction in breakouts and discoloration.
BBL Photofacial
Using advanced broadband light technology, this treatment targets acne-causing bacteria while reducing inflammation and redness. It’s a powerful option for those experiencing active breakouts and post-inflammatory redness.
Halo Laser
Combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, Halo is an innovative laser treatment that effectively resurfaces the skin. It’s particularly beneficial for reducing acne scars, refining pores, and improving skin tone and texture.
MicroLaserPeel / NanoLaserPeel
These precision laser peels gently remove the outermost layers of skin, promoting regeneration and improving the appearance of acne scars. They’re ideal for patients seeking smoother skin and a brighter complexion without extensive downtime.
Medical & Aesthetic Support for Acne
In addition to in-office procedures, we incorporate medical-grade treatments to manage active acne and maintain long-term results:
Prescription Medications
When appropriate, we offer oral and topical prescriptions, including:
~ Antibiotics such as Minocycline and Doxycycline to reduce inflammation and control bacteria
~ Hormonal therapy such as Spironolactone, commonly prescribed for hormonal or adult-onset acne
~ Topical retinoids and customized compounded treatments for enhanced skin cell turnover
Subcision with Biostimulatory Add-On
Subcision is a minor procedure that releases deep acne scars tethered under the skin. This treatment is often enhanced with a biostimulatory filler (such as Sculptra® or Radiesse®) to boost collagen and improve skin texture long-term.
Hydrafacials
These gentle yet effective facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with nourishing serums—ideal for acne-prone and congested skin types.
CO2 Lift Masks
This innovative, non-invasive carboxytherapy mask hydrates, soothes, and detoxifies the skin, making it a great complement to acne treatment plans.
Nutrafol Skin
We also offer Nutrafol Skin, a clinically backed supplement designed to support clear, healthy skin from within. Nutrafol Skin targets the underlying causes of acne—such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation—with medical-grade botanicals and nutrients that promote balanced skin and improved clarity over time. It’s a powerful addition to our inside-out approach to acne care.
