Treatments for Acne
Explore our collection of results-driven treatments for both adult and teen acne.
What causes acne?
Acne develops when the hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Although acne most commonly affects teenagers, it can occur in people of all ages. Acne typically appears on the face, chest, upper back and shoulders because the skin in these areas have more sebaceous glands, which are connected to hair follicles.
Some triggers and aggravators of acne include hormonal changes during puberty or perimenopause; certain medications such as drugs that contain corticosteroids, testosterone, or lithium; consumption of carbohydrate-rich foods; and stress.
How can acne be treated?
There are a variety of ways to treat acne, from treatments such as lasers and peels to products like prescription creams and medical-grade skincare. In nearly every case, a combination of treatments and skincare will produce far better results than just treatments or skincare alone.
It is critical to take a methodical and scientific approach to treating acne, rather than experimenting with treatments and not being consistent with a plan. Some treatments or products that work well for one individual may not work, or can worsen the condition, for another individual. Because of this, our treatment and product choices are personalized based on your skin, and we will create a thorough treatment plan at your first visit based on our 90+ years of aesthetic experience.

Laser Treatments
Our vast array of laser technologies allows us to tailor the perfect treatment for each individual based on their unique case. Laser energy is directed into the skin using one of our advanced laser technologies, carefully selected by our team based on your skin, lifestyle, and goals. Lasers heats the skin, killing acne-causing bacteria, stimulating collagen production, minimizing imperfections, and revealing a glow.
Chemical Peels
Our proven acne-targeting peel formula reduces oil production in the sebaceous glands, removes dead skin cells, kills acne bacteria, and soothes inflammation. The unique formula targets acne without the harsh effects of traditional chemical peels. It also helps to eliminate scarring and pigmentation problems caused by acne. The peel is safe for all skin types and skin colors.
Acne Laser Facials
The power of laser meets the convenience of a facial. Laser Facials tailored for acne-prone skin target active acne to reduce oil production, calm inflammation, and kill acne-causing bacteria. These treatments are finished off with a Recovery Mask and LED Phototherapy to improve skin clarity, reduce inflammation, calm redness, boost hydration, and kill more bacteria.
IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses light energy to target active acne. IPL heats the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria while rejuvenating the skin’s overall appearance. Over the course of several sessions, you can expect a reduction of active acne.
Acne HydraFacial
A Signature Hydrafacial with a focus on deep cleaning, followed by 20 minutes of our advanced Dermalux LED Phototherapy to kill bacteria, improve skin clarity, and reduce redness and inflammation. A recent peer-reviewed clinical study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that bi-weekly Hydrafacials with LED Phototherapy improved acne skin concerns in 100% of study participants.
Medical-Grade & Prescription Skincare
A proper skincare regimen is important to maintain and enhance the results of the acne treatments. Our aesthetic experts will determine what medical-grade skincare is appropriate for your customized regimen.
