Contact usBoth. We treat active breakouts with corrective peels, deep-cleansing facials, and professional extractions, and we address acne scars with microneedling and laser resurfacing. Many clients do a combination as their skin improves.
For most acne scarring, microneedling is a leading option — it stimulates collagen to smooth pitted and rolling scars. ClearLift laser resurfacing and tone-correcting peels also help. The best choice depends on your scar type, which we assess at your consultation.
Active acne often improves over a series of treatments across several weeks. Acne scars improve more gradually — typically over 2–3 months as new collagen forms — and continue improving with each session.
Yes. Performed by a trained esthetician, professional extractions safely clear clogged pores and blackheads without the damage and scarring that at-home picking can cause.
Usually, yes — a simple, consistent homecare routine is a big part of clearing acne. We will recommend products and habits tailored to your skin, and keep it realistic so you can stick with it.
It depends on your plan. A single corrective peel or facial costs less than a scar-focused series of microneedling or laser sessions — the treatments involved and the number of sessions drive the total. Your free consultation ends with an exact quote and a plan matched to your budget.
We tailor treatments to be safe and effective for a range of ages and skin tones. Some treatments are adjusted for sensitive or deeper skin to avoid irritation or discoloration — we will plan accordingly at your consultation.
