Acne treatment for every skin tone
Deeper skin tones can be more likely to get dark marks after a breakout or after irritation. We choose peel strength, treatment settings and timing with that in mind, and we are glad to start gently. Every skin tone is welcome at Aesthetic Beauty Lab.
Acne treatment FAQ
What is the best acne treatment at a med spa?
It depends on your acne. For active breakouts, the Clarity Acne Facial or a VI Peel Purify is a good start. For clogged pores and oily skin, a Glytone salicylic peel or HydraFacial works well. For acne scars, SkinPen microneedling is the usual choice. We recommend a plan after looking at your skin.
How much does acne treatment cost in Apple Valley?
At Aesthetic Beauty Lab, the Clarity Acne Facial is $170, Glytone peels are $150 to $250 per session (the Salicylic peel is $250), the VI Peel is $350 or $900 for a series of 3, HydraFacial is $150 to $250, and SkinPen microneedling is $350 or $900 for a series of 3. Payment plans are available.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people see a difference after one visit, but acne usually responds best to a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, plus good home care. Your provider will suggest a schedule for your skin.
Can you treat acne scars?
Yes. For textured or pitted acne scars we use SkinPen microneedling in a series. For the flat dark marks that breakouts leave behind, chemical peels such as the VI Peel are often a better fit.
Is acne treatment safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when the treatment and strength are chosen carefully. We take extra care with peel strength and timing for deeper skin tones to lower the risk of dark marks, and we can start gently.
When should I see a dermatologist instead?
If your acne is severe, cystic, painful or not improving, see a dermatologist, who can prescribe medication. Our facials and peels can support that care, and we will time treatments around your prescriptions.
