Acne

Our experts specialize in all types of acne forms and severity levels, taking a holistic and patient-centric approach to treating acne. Our goal is not only to manage the current condition but also to prevent future outbreaks. Each treatment plan is personalized, considering factors like skin type, lifestyle, and past treatments.

1. Acne Skincare Regimen

Start with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to target acne and excess oil. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week with salicylic acid or AHAs to keep pores clear. Moisturize with a lightweight, oil-free formula and never skip sunscreen to protect your skin and prevent scarring.

2. Professional Acne Treatments

Light Therapies: Advanced procedures like photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be used to target and destroy bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

I&D (Incision & Drainage): Medical extractions remove stubborn or painful acne lesions to alleviate discomfort and minimize scarring.

Facials and Chemical Peels: Using acne-targeting products and regimens help maintain a healthy complexion and reduce the risk of future breakouts.

3. Topical Acne Treatments

Dermatologists often prescribe benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, or topical antibiotics to help reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and control bacterial growth. For a quick acne fix, try benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to clear pores. Retinoids like adapalene speed up cell turnover, while topical antibiotics help reduce inflammation in more severe breakouts.

4. Oral Acne Medications

In cases of moderate to severe acne, oral antibiotics, contraceptives, or spironolactone can target acne from the inside out. Isotretinoin (Accutane) offers a powerful solution for severe acne.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

This innovative treatment uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes acne scars, and enhances overall skin tone.

Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars

Unlike older CO2 lasers, Total FX uses fractionated beams to treat columns of skin rather than whole areas. This technique offers a shorter recovery time and less discomfort during the procedure, while still delivering maximum results in a single treatment. The laser destroys the outer skin layer and heats the underlying skin, stimulating collagen production over time.

Peels for Acne Scars

Our chemical peels offer numerous benefits, including exfoliation of dead skin cells, reduction of fine lines, treatment of sun damage, correction of uneven skin tone, smoothing of texture, reduction of brown spots, and effective treatment for certain types of acne.

Subcision for Acne Scars

Subcision offers a non-surgical solution by breaking down underlying scar tissue, stimulating collagen production, and restoring skin’s natural texture and smoothness.

Morpheus8 for Acne Scars

This revolutionary treatment combines radiofrequency technology with microneedling to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. The dual-action approach effectively reduces wrinkles, improves skin texture, and enhances overall firmness.
