Acne and scarring caused by acne is a common problem experienced by adolescents and adults alike. Caused by fluctuations in hormones as well as the aging process, acne causes issues beyond the physical. Your self-confidence, body image, and social life may all be negatively impacted by acne.
If you are tired of dealing with acne and acne scars and you've tried all the remedies and treatments without results, there's hope. At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we take an expert, science-backed approach to treating active acne and residual scarring with customized treatment plans designed to meet your skin’s unique needs.
Acne is more than just breakouts—it can cause inflammation, redness, and long-term skin damage if left untreated. At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we target active acne using medical-grade solutions that help control oil production, reduce bacteria, and prevent future breakouts.
Have you tried a lot of the over-the-counter acne treatments out there? Have you noticed that they either don’t work at all or that they work for a little while and then stop helping? While many of those products can provide some relief, they aren’t as powerful as prescription options.
Some of the most exciting and potentially effective acne treatment options available are laser and light therapies. Aerolase’s Blue Light Therapy uses advanced 650-microsecond laser technology to target acne-causing bacteria while reducing redness and inflammation.
This treatment is safe for all skin tones, painless, and requires no downtime, making it an ideal solution for ongoing acne management. By harnessing different wavelengths and types of light, your skin can start looking better quickly!
Our custom facials for acne-prone skin provide a deep-cleansing, skin-renewing approach to managing breakouts while promoting clearer, healthier skin. At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, our acne facials are personalized to your skin’s needs, combining medical-grade exfoliation, extractions, and targeted treatments to reduce excess oil, unclog pores, and calm inflammation.
Whether you're dealing with mild breakouts or persistent acne, our expert providers use professional-strength products and advanced techniques to support clearer, more balanced skin over time.
Even after acne clears, scars and skin texture irregularities can remain. Our advanced acne scar treatments work to restore smooth, even skin by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
Topical treatments can be one of the most effective ways to help treat acne and acne scarring. By actively treating the skin directly, we may be able to help turn your skin into the soft, beautiful skin you deserve. TCA Cross (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is an advanced chemical reconstruction technique used to treat deep acne scars such as boxcar and ice-pick scars. A high-concentration TCA solution is carefully applied to each scar to stimulate collagen remodeling, leading to smoother, more even skin over time.
Subcision is a minimally invasive treatment that releases tethered acne scars from underlying skin layers. A fine needle is inserted beneath the scar to break up fibrotic bands, allowing collagen to form and lift the indentation over time. Subcision is highly effective for rolling scars and is often combined with microneedling or laser resurfacing for optimal results.
Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, triggering collagen and elastin production for skin renewal and scar improvement. This treatment is excellent for mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, and skin texture concerns.
Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, triggering collagen and elastin production for skin renewal and scar improvement. This treatment is excellent for mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, and skin texture concerns.
RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, boost collagen production, and improve deeper acne scars. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients with moderate to severe scars and mild skin laxity.
For dramatic scar reduction, we offer CO2 and Erbium laser skin resurfacing, which removes damaged outer layers while stimulating new collagen growth. This method is highly effective for textural acne scars and skin tone irregularities.
At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we create personalized treatment plans based on your skin type, acne severity, and scarring concerns. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a single procedure or a combination approach to achieve optimal skin rejuvenation.
