Fortunately, our comprehensive teen and adult acne treatment programs combines the latest in acne treatment protocols with acne scar removal techniques and the best acne products to give you clearer looking skin at any age. Put an end to your frustration and wake up with the confidence that comes with clearer skin. We’ll also teach you how to maintain clearer skin.

We have a range of therapies from low priced cosmeceutical acne remedies, often effective as stand-alone therapies for mild acne vulgaris, to the addition of more aggressive treatment regimens for tougher cases. More aggressive regimens may include prescription drugs, radiofrequency therapy, photodynamic therapy and scar resurfacing – scar removal.

These include laser therapy for color correction, lasers for textural roughness. Ice pick acne scars can usually be greatly improved with TCA CROSS therapy. Acne subcision surgery (not covered by insurance) is usually helpful for broader atrophic scars (recessed below the level of the surrounding skin). Patients with severe scarring are often treated with a combination of laser therapy (including the PicoSure laser and the Vbeam pulsed dye laser),eMatrix radiofrequency, TCA CROSS and/or subcision surgery. Most of these treatments are suitable for any color or type of skin.

We can’t always promise a totally clear face, but almost all patients can be dramatically improved if they follow our program. Contact us and start your acne program today.

Step 2: Control Oil Production
During this step laser and light-based therapies are often used to decrease sebum (oil) production and inflammation. This often includes photodynamic therapy with levulinic acid and the Vbeam® Perfecta pulsed dye laser or another light to activate the levulinic acid. This will damage or kill the overactive oil glands that cause acne. Health insurance usually will not cover this procedure. However, prescription medications often reduce oil production and inflammation, and are usually covered.
