Acne Treatments

Acne is a difficult condition to improve. It requires addressing four components:

  • Excess oil production
  • Bacteria
  • Inflammation
  • Dead Skin Cells

In order to address these four components, different treatment modalities are incorporated to formulate an effective treatment plan. IPL treatments are combined with chemical peels, facials and microdermabrasion to treat all aspects of acne. Physician directed skin care is imperative to combat oil production, control pH levels and kill bacteria.  Our 10 Step Acne Program attacks acne on all four sides.


This 10 step acne program is designed to focus on the four causes of acne: Excess Oil Production, Bacteria , Dead Skin Cells and Inflammation. The program is designed for moderate cases of acne. Based upon your health, care, and genetics and previous treatment for acne more steps may be needed to improve this condition. A take home skin care system is crucial to the success of your treatment and should be followed as directed by your aesthetician. A good diet, exercise and sleep will enhance the results of your treatment.
