Acne Treatment Scottsdale

Acne is a common skin concern for people in many age groups. We offer a variety of professional strength acne treatments, which are scientifically formulated and individually customized to your needs. The goals of treatment are to reduce acne blemishes, improve skin clarity, and soothe skin inflammation and redness.

Acne Facials

A results-oriented facial is specially formulated for treating acne-prone skin. Natural fruit enzymes, antioxidants, and hydrating agents exfoliate the skin. This treatment helps to open clogged pores to get rid of acne spots. The result is a deep cleansing without causing redness and irritation.

Acne Peels

An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) chemical peel can be very helpful for people with acne. This natural fruit acid acts as an antiseptic, controlling the bacteria that cause acne spots. The exfoliation of the peel helps to remove dead skin cells and other debris that can clog pores, trapping bacteria and leading to acne spots.

For those with more severe acne, a deeper peel can help to provide a deeper cleansing and open clogged pores. This will require more downtime for recovery, but the results can be more dramatic.

IPL treatments can help to control bacteria that cause acne spots. The pulses of light stimulate a healing response in the skin that gets rid of the bacteria that clog pores and cause acne spots. It can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars, as well as treat redness or uneven pigmentation that can result from years of inflammation.
