Acne Treatments

Schedule

At Capek Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, we offer science-driven treatments that go beyond surface-level solutions to target both active acne and the scars it leaves behind. Each plan is personalized to your skin’s needs, addressing breakouts, inflammation, discoloration, and textural changes for clearer, healthier skin.

What Causes Acne & Acne Scarring?

Acne develops when excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog pores, triggering inflammation within the skin’s follicles. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and certain medications can all play a role in how often and how severely breakouts occur.

When acne heals, the body’s repair process can sometimes damage deeper layers of the skin, especially with cystic acne or if blemishes are picked or popped. This can lead to scarring, uneven texture, and long-lasting discoloration.

Optimizing Results

For the best outcome, follow all post-treatment instructions, including proper cleansing, hydration, and sun protection. Consistency with your at-home regimen and maintenance treatments is key to preventing new breakouts and protecting your investment in clearer, smoother skin.

A combination of treatments and medications (prescribed by a dermatologist) may be the best course of action for optimal results. Your specific needs will be discussed during your consultation. Be sure to share any acne treatments you are already using, such as Isotretinoin (Accutane, Claravis and others), to avoid unexpected adverse interactions.

Chemical Peels

Professional chemical peels exfoliate the skin on a deeper level, clearing clogged pores and lifting away dead cells that contribute to breakouts. They also fade post-acne marks and even out skin tone for a brighter, more clarified complexion. Peels are customized to your skin type and goals, ranging from gentle to more intensive formulations.

Plasma Facial

Microneedling, performed with advanced systems like SkinPen®, creates tiny micro-channels in the skin that trigger natural collagen and elastin production. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood, healing is accelerated and results are amplified. A series of treatments is usually recommended for optimal, lasting results.
