Benefits from Your Acne Specialist in Los Angeles
Multiple Treatments
We have several treatments for different ages, skin types, and acne situations—for the perfect acne-fighting regimen.
Immediate Results
Depending on the treatment, you may see immediate results for cleaner, clearer skin and diminished scarring.
Skin Health
Many of our treatments not only address the acne, they improve collagen, elastin, lines, wrinkles, and more!
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique acne specialist in Los Angeles. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. They will also inspect your treatment area(s). Once your provider determines which acne treatments are the best course of action for your concerns and goals, your session(s) can be scheduled.
Procedure
The treatment or treatments deemed most effective for you can range from a cortisone shot for cysts, to laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, dermaplaning, microneedling, chemical peels, and more. Each acne treatment provides its own active defense against the symptoms and/or causes of acne. With many of these treatments, you can:
- Eliminate the acne (even during an active outbreak)
- Destroy the bacteria that cause acne
- Reduce or eliminate acne scars
- Clean out pores
- Remove dead skin
- And more!
Recovery
Each treatment has its own unique recovery process and possible downtime. None are surgical, most are minimally invasive or non-invasive, and many have no downtime at all.
As part of your consultation with your acne specialist in Los Angeles, you’ll be able to discuss the recovery time and any possible side effects of each treatment. Matching the treatment and its aftercare to your lifestyle and expectations provides the best solution for a return to clear, clean, radiant skin!

What are some of the common locations for acne treatment?
The most common areas are:
- Neck
- Face
- Back
- Shoulders
Regardless of the acne location or the acne condition that you are dealing with, we have a treatment that can help. A chemical peel will help decrease papules and the inflammation associated with them. It will also help eliminate blackheads.
Adult as well as teenage acne is a common skin condition. It develops when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria get trapped in pores, causing them to be inflamed. Actual breakouts can differ from person to person as well as the location and severity. Your Younique acne specialist can determine the best course of treatment for you.
How does acne cause scarring?
Acne scars are created when acne bursts below the surface of the skin. The deeper the burst pore is, the more likely there will be scarring. Just like anything, once a pore is clogged, things that used to travel through now start to back up. This inflames the skin, and a pimple is born. Whether teenage acne or adult acne, these backups are frustrating and can cause a great deal of angst.
One of the more common dermatology-related treatments our patients seek is acne scar removal. There are a number of possible treatments for acne scars to help make your face smoother, your back clearer, and help you look better and feel more confident.
