Acne Treatment Plans

Patients often visit Skin Secrets after over-the-counter products or prior topical treatments have not adequately controlled persistent acne. The process may begin with an aesthetician evaluation to assess acne severity, the current skincare routine, and gaps in topical care.

Dr. Smith can then evaluate whether prescription treatment should be added. If a well-designed topical and prescription plan is not adequately controlling active breakouts, the team may discuss chemical peels or a series of light- or laser-based treatments as part of a broader plan.

For established acne scarring, Dr. Smith can evaluate whether in-office CO2 laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or a combined approach may be appropriate. Recommendations and results vary by scar type, skin characteristics, and treatment goals.
