Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the United States, affecting nearly 50 million Americans each year. Whether it’s the occasional breakout or chronic, cystic acne, struggling with blemished skin can take a significant toll on your self-esteem. At Skin Artisans, we understand how deeply acne can impact your confidence and your life. Our Advanced Practice Estheticians are here to help with years of experience in treating acne and the most effective treatments to clarify your complexion.
Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all. It comes in many forms, each with its own underlying causes. Fortunately, regardless of the kind of acne you’re experiencing, Skin Artisans offers advanced, results-driven treatments that are safe, effective, and most importantly, tailored to your unique skin needs. Your journey to clearer skin at Skin Artisans is not a solitary one. It’s guided by an Advanced Practice Esthetician who understands your unique skin and is with you every step of the way.
Let’s explore seven cutting-edge acne treatment solutions offered at Skin Artisans and how they can help you achieve the healthy, clear, and glowing complexion you deserve.
#1 – VISIA® Skin Analysis – Determine Your Acne Type & Triggers
Before beginning any treatment plan at Skin Artisans, we strongly encourage our patients to start with a complimentary VISIA Skin Analysis. This advanced imaging system evaluates your skin on a microscopic level, providing real-time data on oil production, pore size, bacteria count, pigmentation, and more. VISIA takes the guesswork out of acne treatment by helping our providers determine precisely what type of acne you have and what’s contributing to it. This allows them to personalize your treatment plan with solutions they know will be effective for your particular type of acne and even track and monitor your progress.
Why it matters: A clearer complexion begins with clarity about what’s really happening beneath the surface.
#2 – Medial-Grade Skincare – Personalize Your Skincare Regimen
Home care is crucial for managing acne effectively. In fact, getting professional acne treatments without reinforcing your progress from home with great skincare is like working out at the gym but eating only fast food. You won’t get the results you’re hoping for without fine-tuning your skincare regimen. That’s why we recommend only medical-grade skincare products that deliver powerful, science-backed ingredients deep into the skin. At Skin Artisans, we customize your regimen from top-tier lines like:
- Skin Artisans Skincare – Our signature line includes acne-targeted formulations that soothe inflammation, reduce bacteria, and keep pores clear.
- iS Clinical® – Known for gentle yet potent botanically-based solutions that balance oil production and reduce redness. Favorites for acne include the Cleansing Complex and Active Serum.
- CLENZIderm MD® by Obagi – A powerful, prescription-strength system with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that penetrates deep into pores to clear stubborn acne and prevent future breakouts.
Why it matters: Effective at-home care extends and enhances the results of your in-clinic treatments. Clear skin starts and ends with consistency.
#3 – DiamondGlow® – Cleanse, Extract, Infuse Your Way to Clearer Skin
This 3-in-1 treatment is a game-changer for acne-prone skin. DiamondGlow exfoliates the top layer of skin to prevent clogged pores, performs painless extractions to remove built-up oil and debris, and infuses the skin with customized serums—such as salicylic acid and other acne-fighting ingredients.
Benefits:
✔️ Deep pore cleansing
✔️ Smoother, clearer skin texture
✔️ Reduced blackheads and breakouts
Why it matters: DiamondGlow not only helps with current breakouts but also prevents future ones by keeping pores clean and balanced.
#4 – VI Peel® – Chemical Peels That Clear Acne ANYWHERE On Your Body
Especially effective for treating back acne, hyperpigmentation, and post-acne scarring, the VI Peel utilizes a powerful blend of ingredients to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin at a deeper level. It’s fantastic for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that results from acne, can be applied virtually anywhere on the body, and is safe for most skin types, offering noticeable results in just one session.
Benefits:
✔️ Smoother, brighter skin
✔️ Lightened acne scars and discoloration
✔️ Reduced active breakouts on the face, neck, chest, back, and even arms
Why it matters: Acne doesn’t just affect your face—treating areas like the chest and back can restore your confidence from every angle.
#5 – Sciton Forever Clear® – Blue Light That Battles Bacteria
This non-invasive, no-downtime treatment utilizes blue light therapy to target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin’s surface, and yellow light therapy to calm and soothe inflammation. It’s completely safe for all skin types and can even be used during the summer months. Forever Clear® is ideal for teens and adults alike.
Benefits:
✔️ Targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria
✔️ Calms inflammation
✔️ Quick, comfortable treatments
Why it matters: Forever Clear offers a gentle solution that doesn’t compromise your summer fun or sun safety and is appropriate for all skin types.
#6 – ClearSilk® by Sciton – Results Without the Downtime
ClearSilk is a gentle laser treatment that targets redness, inflammation, and the overall texture of acne-prone skin. It’s ideal for those dealing with the aftermath of acne, such as scarring or uneven skin tone. It can be used on virtually any skin type or color.
Benefits:
✔️ Smooths uneven texture
✔️ Fades acne scars
✔️ Enhances skin clarity and radiance
Why it matters: Treating acne isn’t just about preventing breakouts—it’s also about healing and rejuvenating your skin afterward to improve tone and texture.
#7 – SkinPen® Microneedling – Scar Revision That Works
Once breakouts are under control, SkinPen Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and skin renewal. Over time, the appearance of acne scarring is significantly improved, and the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned.
Benefits:
✔️ Visibly reduces acne scarring
✔️ Improves skin texture and tone
✔️ Minimal downtime, maximum impact
Why it matters: You deserve to look in the mirror and love the skin you’re in—even after acne. With our transformative treatments, you can look forward to a future with visibly reduced acne scarring, improved skin texture and tone, and minimal downtime but maximum impact on your confidence.
