Acne and Acne Scarring
Acne and acne scars can be frustrating, but you don’t have to live with them. At Cortina, our dermatology team offers customized treatment plans to manage breakouts, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture.
We offer a variety of treatment plans for hormonal, cystic and all types of acne. Our team provides compassionate and personalized care to figure out the root cause of your acne and treat it effectively.
Treatment Options
Topical & Oral Medications
Our board-certified dermatologists offer prescription-strength topical and oral medications tailored to your skin type and acne severity. These treatments work by reducing inflammation, controlling bacteria, regulating oil production, and preventing future breakouts. Options may include:
- Topical retinoids promote skin cell turnover to unclog pores.
- Antibiotics can reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.
- Hormonal treatments regulate oil production for hormonal acne.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use medical-grade acids to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, and improve acne-prone skin. Depending on your skin’s needs, we offer light to medium-depth peels with ingredients such as:
- Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to dissolve oil and debris.
- Glycolic acid gently resurfaces the skin, improving texture and clarity.
- TCA peels target post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Regular treatments can reduce active breakouts, fade dark spots, and enhance overall skin radiance.
Microneedling & PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. When combined with PRP (your body’s own growth factors), this treatment smooths acne scars and improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and large pores.
With minimal downtime, microneedling + PRP is an incredibly effective way to rejuvenate acne-damaged skin.
