The MedBeautyLA Guide

Everything to Know About Acne Treatment

Clearer, calmer skin. Here is how we build a personalized acne plan, the in-office treatments we rely on most, and why what you do at home matters just as much.

A Personalized Acne Plan

At MedBeautyLA, we assess each client and curate a personalized acne treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, lifestyle, and skin type. A typical treatment plan entails a combination approach of in-office sessions paired with medical-grade at-home skin care, resulting in consistently clearer skin.

As a physician-owned medical spa, we only offer the most data-backed and clinically proven products and modalities, and our small, dedicated team of skin care professionals is here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Most Common In-Office Acne Treatments

Most acne plans at our Downtown LA office are built from a handful of proven treatments, chosen and sequenced for your skin:

Medical-Grade Skin Care at Home

We also carry a curated, hand-selected line of medical-grade skin care specifically designed to treat sensitive and acne-prone skin types. Your in-office sessions and your at-home routine work together, which is why every plan we build includes both.

The Acne Bootcamp

Don't forget to ask us about our Acne Bootcamp, which provides clients with an even more targeted approach to their acne plan. It combines several in-office treatments with medical-grade home care in one program, and you can compare it with our other programs on the skin care bootcamps page.

Getting Started

The key to clearer skin is time and consistency, and the first step is an in-person consult so we can assess your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which acne treatment is right for me?

The best treatment for you (medical-grade facials, targeted serums, laser treatment, etc.) will depend on a variety of factors, such as your Fitzpatrick type (how much melanin you have in your skin), your level of regular sun exposure, skin sensitivity levels, and more. This is why we always recommend coming in for an in-person consult so that we may assess your skin in person.

How long will it take to clear up my skin?

The key to clearer skin is time and consistency. We have some clients who begin to see results in as little as four weeks, and others whose skin can take closer to four months. No two clients are the same, so no two treatment plans or timelines are the same either. Most see significant improvement within four to eight weeks of starting treatment, while completely clearing acne typically takes three to six months of consistent treatment. Severe or cystic acne may take longer.

Why isn't my over-the-counter acne treatment working?

OTC products contain lower concentrations of active ingredients and can't address underlying causes like hormones or bacteria. Professional treatments use medical-grade products and target multiple acne factors simultaneously for better results.

Will professional acne treatment prevent scarring?

Yes! Professional treatment significantly reduces the risk of scarring by clearing breakouts faster and preventing deep, inflammatory acne that causes scars. Early intervention is key to preventing permanent damage.

Can you treat hormonal acne?

Absolutely! Hormonal acne requires a targeted approach combining professional treatments with proper skincare. We may recommend chemical peels, laser therapy, and specific products to control oil production and inflammation.

Is there any downtime with acne treatments?

Most acne treatments have minimal downtime. Facials have none, chemical peels may cause light peeling for 3-5 days, and laser treatments may cause temporary redness. We'll discuss what to expect with your specific treatment plan.

How much do acne treatments cost?

It depends on your plan. The Acne Facial is $355, the Perfect Derma Peelâ„¢ $355, an IPL photofacial $355. A cortisone injection for a single breakout is priced per treatment. The Acne Bootcamp, which combines several treatments, is $2,350.
