Quick answers to questions you may have

What is microneedling and how does it help with acne?

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, promoting collagen production. It helps reduce acne scars, improves skin texture, and can also prevent future breakouts by enhancing skin health.

How many microneedling sessions are needed for acne treatment?

For best results, most people require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend the right number of sessions for you.

What is a PRP treatment, and how does it help with acne scarring?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and regenerate skin. When injected into acne scars, it helps reduce their appearance and improve skin texture over time.

How long does it take to see results from PRP treatment?

Results typically start to show 3 to 4 weeks after treatment, with continued improvement over 2 to 3 months as collagen production increases.

What chemical peels do you offer for acne treatment?

We offer a range of chemical peels, including light, medium, and deep peels, depending on the severity of your acne. Chemical peels exfoliate the skin to unclog pores, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and fade acne scars. Your provider will recommend the most suitable peel for your skin.

What are the side effects of chemical peels?

Side effects are usually mild and temporary. After a chemical peel, you may experience redness, dryness, or peeling of the skin. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

How long will it take for the acne medication to work?

Prescription medications like Adapalene, Benzoyl Peroxide, and Spironolactone may take a few weeks to show noticeable results, depending on the medication. Consistency with application is key to achieving the best outcome.

Can I continue my skincare routine during acne treatment?

While undergoing acne treatments, you may need to adjust your skincare routine. After Microneedling, PRP, or Chemical Peels, your skin may be sensitive, and it’s essential to use gentle products that promote healing. Your provider will recommend the best skincare routine for your skin type.

How long does acne treatment take?

Microneedling and PRP sessions typically last about 30 to 60 minutes. Chemical Peels take 20 to 30 minutes. Prescription medications will be part of your at-home routine, with results usually visible in 4 to 6 weeks.

Who is a good candidate for acne treatment?

Anyone struggling with acne, acne scarring, or uneven skin texture is a good candidate for acne treatment. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal acne, cystic acne, or scars from past breakouts, our treatments can help improve the health and appearance of your skin.
