Cristyn Watkins, MD · Answer

If you have acne and you are looking for the best solution to get help, then IPL photofacial may be a solution for you. More and more doctors are recommending IPL photofacials for patients with severe acne, as well as other conditions like sun spots and age spots (through targeting blood vessels), and fine lines.

Other options include: BBL Forever Clear, LED Light Therapy, medical skin care topical agents such as Retinol and Salicylic Acid, Microneedle, RF Microneedle, and Chemical Peels to name some that we offer. Another recommendation is a deep dive into your specific causes of acne with blood work and Functional Medicine.

Acne might not always have a cure, but it is definitely treatable with combination therapy.  With alternatives like oral antibiotics that can be harmful to some patients, these modalities are safe for acne removal.
