More Balanced Skin
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that can appear as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, or deeper cystic breakouts. Over time, repeated inflammation can disrupt the skin, leading to acne scars such as uneven texture, discoloration, or indentations. At AderaMD Aesthetics, we approach acne and acne scars with intention, identifying contributing factors, protecting the skin barrier, and using proven treatments like chemical peels, SkinPen microneedling, Forever Clear BBL, ResurFX laser treatments, and medical-grade skin care to restore clarity.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Acne & Acne Scars:
- Active breakouts, including whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed blemishes
- Cystic or deeper lesions that may feel tender or painful
- Persistent redness or post-inflammatory discoloration
- Uneven skin texture or roughness
- Depressed or indented areas where breakouts once occurred
- Enlarged or congested pores
- Skin sensitivity or imbalance following repeated inflammation
Your Acne & Acne Scar Treatment
Every plan at AderaMD Aesthetics begins with a thoughtful consultation. We take time to understand your skin history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and goals, and then curate a treatment strategy that restores balance. Acne and acne scars require precision and the right sequencing of treatments. By combining clinical insight with proven technologies, we create a personalized roadmap to calm inflammation, refine texture, and support long-term skin health.
Treatment Options
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate the skin at a controlled depth. This process loosens dead skin cells, clears clogged pores, reduces acne-causing bacteria, and encourages fresh, healthy skin turnover. Over time, peels help soften discoloration and smooth uneven texture left behind by past breakouts. By stimulating renewal from the surface down, peels create a clearer, brighter canvas and help prevent future congestion.
SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen microneedling creates precise, microscopic channels in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing response. As the skin repairs itself, it produces new collagen and elastin: key building blocks for smoother, stronger skin. This process helps soften acne scars, refine texture, and improve overall tone without adding volume or altering facial structure. Microneedling also enhances the skin’s ability to absorb nourishing serums, amplifying results over time.
Medical-Grade Skin Care
Medical-grade skin care delivers active ingredients at concentrations proven to affect real change within the skin. These formulations work beneath the surface to regulate oil production, calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and support consistent cell turnover. When used correctly, they help control active breakouts while gradually improving discoloration and texture from prior acne. Medical-grade skin care ensures your in-office treatments work harder.
Forever Clear® BBL Treatment
Forever Clear BBL uses advanced light energy to target multiple causes of acne at once. The treatment helps eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce active inflammation, and calm the redness that often lingers after breakouts. It also supports clearer skin by gently warming the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging healthier circulation and faster healing. Over time, Forever Clear can reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts while improving overall tone for a more even, balanced complexion.
ResurFX™ Laser
ResurFX is a non-ablative laser treatment that resurfaces the skin by stimulating collagen renewal without removing the outer layer. By delivering controlled heat beneath the surface, it helps smooth uneven texture, soften acne scarring, and improve discoloration left behind from past breakouts. This collagen-building process strengthens the skin’s structure over time, creating a firmer, smoother appearance. ResurFX is ideal for patients who want visible texture improvement with minimal downtime and gradual, natural-looking results.
Acne & Acne Scars FAQs
Why Do Some Breakouts Leave Scars While Others Don’t?
Scarring typically occurs when inflammation penetrates deeper layers of the skin. Cystic or persistent acne is more likely to disrupt collagen, leading to texture changes or indentations. Picking or squeezing blemishes can increase this risk.
Can Acne Scars Be Treated Years Later?
Yes. Even long-standing acne scars can be improved. Modalities like microneedling and targeted resurfacing stimulate collagen production, helping the skin rebuild itself. While scars don’t disappear overnight, meaningful refinement is absolutely achievable.
Do I Need to Change My Skincare Routine?
Almost always. Treating acne successfully requires alignment between in-office treatments and what you use at home. We curate a medical-grade skincare regimen to regulate oil, calm inflammation, and support skin renewal without unnecessary steps.
