Acne

Acne isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is our approach to treating it. Whether you're dealing with your first breakout in middle school or acne that's stuck around or started in midlife, we'll build a plan around your skin type, your triggers, and your goals.
Acne happens when hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or deeper cysts. It's incredibly common and definitely treatable.
Acne is driven by a mix of excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, inflammation, and hormones. Genetics play a role too, and hormonal shifts like puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or conditions like PCOS can trigger or worsen breakouts at any age.
From topical retinoids and prescription-strength cleansers to oral medications, hormonal therapy, and in-office treatments like chemical peels or extractions, we offer options for every severity level. We also discuss potentially contributing lifestyle factors including skincare, stress, sleep, and diet.
If over-the-counter products haven't worked after a few months, if breakouts are painful or leaving marks/scars, or if acne is affecting your confidence, it's time to come in. Early treatment can prevent scarring so don't wait it out!
