Our acne treatments are often a good fit for people who are dealing with active breakouts, blemishes, and acne scars. Our team will evaluate your skin to determine the best approach for your needs.

Yes, both can play a role. Stress raises cortisol, which can prompt the skin to produce more oil, and hormonal shifts during puberty, your menstrual cycle, or menopause can lead to more persistent or cystic breakouts. Our treatments focus on calming and clearing the skin at the surface, and if your breakouts seem strongly hormone-driven, it is worth discussing that side with your doctor too.

Some shallower acne scars can fade noticeably over time, especially with treatments like microchanneling or chemical peels. Deeper scars may not disappear completely, but a series of targeted sessions can often soften their appearance and improve overall texture.

In many cases, yes. We often ask clients to pause retinol, glycolic acid, and other strong actives for about 3 to 5 days before treatments like chemical peels or microchanneling. We provide detailed pre-treatment instructions tailored to your routine, so you know exactly what to do.

Please read more information under each treatment page and what you should know before and after each treatment.

Diet and lifestyle can influence breakouts for many people. Common triggers include dairy, high-glycemic foods, poor sleep, and ongoing stress. Everyone's skin responds differently, so our team can help you notice patterns and suggest simple habits that may support your results alongside your treatment plan.

Often, yes. Adult acne tends to show up along the jawline and chin and can be more inflammatory and hormone-related than teenage acne. It can also be more stubborn, since adult skin renews more slowly. Our approach uses facials, peels, and microchanneling to target it at the surface, and we are glad to talk through what might be driving it.

Your skin is unique, and so is your acne. At your consultation, our team looks at the type, severity, and likely cause of your breakouts along with your skin type and lifestyle. From there we build a personalized plan that may include facials, chemical peels, microchanneling, and medical-grade home care to address current breakouts and help prevent future ones.
