Active acne is a common skin condition marked by inflamed pimples, pustules, and cysts that develop when oil and dead skin cells clog pores, allowing bacteria to thrive. It can cause discomfort, redness, and long-term scarring if untreated.

First-line care typically combines medical-grade skincare to regulate oil production and clear pores with in-office treatments such as light chemical peels or IPL/BBL to target inflammation and bacteria. For deeper or more stubborn acne, microneedling or RF microneedling may be introduced to support healing and prevent future scarring. Treatment plans are individualized, often combining at-home programs with staged office procedures for long-term control and healthier skin.

Suitable for individuals with mild to severe breakouts who are seeking to reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and improve overall skin clarity.
