Acne & Breakouts
Calmer, clearer skin with a plan made for you.
What it is
Acne happens when pores clog with oil and dead skin and bacteria cause inflammation. It can show as blackheads, whiteheads, red bumps or deeper, painful spots, and it affects adults as well as teens.
Treating acne well usually means calming active breakouts, keeping pores clear and preventing marks. In-clinic treatments work best alongside a consistent home routine. Severe or cystic acne may also need prescription treatment.

How we plan it
We start by looking at the type of acne, what triggers it and what you've tried. Plans usually combine a series of in-clinic treatments with a home routine, and we adjust as your skin responds.
Once breakouts are under control, we can treat the marks and scars they leave behind.
Skin care at home
The right cleanser, exfoliant and moisturizer make a big difference. We carry options for oily and acne-prone skin.
Frequently asked questions
Can adults get acne?
Yes. Adult acne is common, especially around the chin and jaw, and is often linked to hormones.
How long until my skin clears?
Most plans take several weeks to show steady improvement. Skin renews in cycles, so consistency matters.
Should I treat active acne or scars first?
Active breakouts first. Some scar treatments, like microneedling, aren't done over active acne.
Do I need a prescription?
Sometimes. Moderate to severe acne may need prescription treatment, and we'll tell you if that's the case.
