Whether you’re dealing with stubborn breakouts, acne scars, or uneven texture, we’ll work with you to develop a customized at-home regimen that delivers real results.

Cosmetic Treatments for Acne

Chemical Peels: Our chemical peels are designed to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and reducing the appearance of acne scars. By removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, chemical peels help to clear up existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. These treatments are customized to your skin type and specific concerns, ensuring optimal results.

Microneedling: Microneedling is a powerful treatment for reducing acne scars and improving skin texture. By creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates collagen production and promotes healing. This results in smoother, more even skin and a reduction in the appearance of scars. For a more advanced microneedling treatment, we can pair it with PRP, Sculptra, or RF. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime, making it perfect for busy summer schedules.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL): IPL is a laser treatment that targets excess melanin in the skin, which can contribute to the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) often associated with acne scars. By breaking down melanin deposits, IPL helps to fade dark spots and discoloration, leading to a more uniform complexion. IPL can also target the blood vessels that contribute to redness and inflammation associated with acne scars. By constricting these blood vessels, IPL reduces redness and evens out skin tone, resulting in a smoother and more refined skin texture.

Custom Facials: Our customized facials are tailored to address your specific skin concerns, including acne. Deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions help clear clogged pores and reduce inflammation, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Regular facials can also help prevent future breakouts and maintain a clear complexion. Our signature facials for acne include the Acne HydraFacial, B-Acne HydraFacial for body, or the High Frequency Acne Spa Facial!

Blue Light Therapy for Acne: Blue light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to target acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface. By penetrating the skin and activating porphyrins, blue light effectively kills bacteria without harming surrounding tissues. This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate acne and can help reduce inflammation, minimize breakouts, and improve overall skin clarity.

Red Light Therapy for Acne: Red light therapy harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the skin. While primarily known for its anti-aging benefits, red light therapy also offers advantages for individuals with acne-prone skin. By stimulating cellular repair processes and increasing blood flow, red light therapy can help accelerate the healing of acne lesions, reduce redness, and improve skin tone and texture over time!
