Acne Treatment

The best place to figure out how to start healing your acne and acne scarring is to book a New Client Consultation + Treatment to sort out your personal acne history, products, and create a treatment plan designed for your unique skin type, tone and lifestyle considerations.

Our approach to acne treatments

A combination of dietary and lifestyle modifications with a proper skin-care regimen will provide the best result of success in eliminating your acne. We often work in conjunction with our client’s dermatologists as well.  You don’t have to choose one or the other. Topical skin-care procedures and products are extremely effective in helping to reduce breakouts, pigmentation and scarring. However, as a stand-alone treatment for chronic or serious acne, skin-care products are not usually successful long term. Acne care is not one-size fits all. What works well for one person may not be best for someone else.

Trying to address skin-care problems on your own can be very frustrating. If you have acne, seeking professional advice will produce faster results and can save you a lot of money. Clinical aestheticians have a higher level of education and training allowing them to provide deeper cleansing and exfoliation methods through specialized products and procedures designed for corrective treatment and visible results.

There are many benefits to working with a Celebrity Skin and using professional products. The odds of clearing your acne will be much higher using an aesthetician than self-prescribing via Internet, drugstore or department store. Clinical aestheticians can work in conjunction with your dermatologist to expedite your results.  Aestheticians working in spas and salons typically perform your superficial, relaxing, spa-type facials. Not only will it not help your acne, but most likely it will make it worse. Spa facials have their place in skincare, just not with clearing acne.

New Client Consultation + Treatment

The New Client Consultation + Treatment allows extra time to help you get to the bottom of why you are breaking out and provide you with the tools to tackle it once and for all. Bring all of your questions, current skin care products, makeup, list of medications, and vitamins for a comprehensive consultation.

Please bring your actual products, not pictures, of your products to this appointment.

If you skip this first step, you will be missing a big piece of the complicated acne puzzle. Chronic acne is rarely cured with products and treatment alone. It is important to have a comprehensive plan that addresses acne from the inside-out AND the outside-in. The service may include The Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Chemical Peel Facial + Light Therapy with Celluma Light Therapy.

Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Chemical Peel Facial + Light Therapy

The Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Chemical Peel Facial + Light Therapy addresses current acne and acne scarring simultaneously.  This treatment is designed to reduce breakouts while working on smoothing acne scarring and the post-inflammatory pigment (PIH) acne often leaves behind. Steam, extractions, microdermabrasion alone or in conjunction with Chemical peels and Celluma light therapy for acne are great options for reducing acne and acne scarring. They stimulate collagen and elastin, which softens and smoothes acne scars, making them less noticeable. The Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Chemical Peel Facial + Light Therapy is ideal for men, women, teens, skin of color, and sensitive skin.

• If you are a teenager, you can book the Acne Facial For Teens With Celluma Light Therapy 
• If you have active acne and acne scarring on other areas of the body like the chest and upper shoulders or your back, book the Back Facial With Celluma Light Therapy
• If you have acne scars and hyperpigmentation/brown spots left over from past acne, book the EXPRESS Back Treatment with Celluma Light Therapy or the EXPRESS Back Treatment.
• If you have multiple areas of the body that have acne scarring and hyperpigmentation/brown spots, book a Body Chemical Peel.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

In addition to chemical peels and microdermabrasion, microneedling has been well-documented and researched as a safe and effective treatment for scar reduction (acne scarring, stretch marks, hypertrophic and surgical scarring), fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, pore reduction, improving rough skin texture, pigment irregularities, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling creates micro-punctures in the skin stimulating wound healing and producing new collagen and elastin. Special topicals like stem cells and growth factors can be infused into the skin to help regenerate new skin and reduce/soften scarring.

Our Microneedling Treatment Treatment can be performed on all areas of the body (face, neck, chest, arms, legs, abdomen) including hard-to-reach areas like around the eyes and nose.  This treatment includes microneedling, a light chemical peel and Celluma Light Therapy.  This dynamic trio speeds up progress and increases results. The risks and downtime involved with chemical peels and microneedling are minimal when compared to more invasive laser resurfacing treatments. They are also safe for darker skin tones, which have limited options for acne scar reduction treatments.

How Many Microneedling Treatment Treatments Do I Need?

It all depends on the severity of your acne scars. In general, expect to complete a series of 5 or 6 treatments. We also offer Microneedling Treatment packages. If you have deep acne scarring, the number of potential treatments is really unlimited. No one in this industry can give you a definitive answer or make promises. Beware of anyone who does. How well someone responds to acne scarring treatments also depends on many factors, including age, health and medications, to name a few.   What can be expected is to see improvement in your skin.

Medium Depth Peels For Acne Scarring

Celebrity Skin Medium Depth Chemical Peels, also known as mid-depth peels are a good option for acne and acne scarring. Medium-depth peels improve the texture, tone and clarity of the skin, reduce age spots, improve hyperpigmentation (including melasma), soften lines and wrinkles, help clear acneic skin conditions, reduce acne scars, and stimulate the production of collagen, for firmer more youthful skin.

These peels are “stronger” and travel “deeper” into the dermis than light/superficial chemical peels. Mid-depth peels have noticeable downtime (more flakes/bigger flakes) when compared to lighter peels. The VI Peel is another Medium Depth Peel we offer at Celebrity Skincare.

Although acne scarring appears more often on the face, almost any part of the body can be peeled and rejuvenated. We can peel your chest, shoulders, back and arms. The medium depth peel is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones, so long as the skin has been appropriately prepped beforehand with products and progressive peels.
