Break Free From Breakouts

Struggling with acne can be frustrating, especially when it affects your confidence and self-esteem. Because acne is complex, you deserve a treatment plan that is personalized to your unique skin type and addresses the underlying causes, whether it’s hormonal changes, stress, medications, or environmental factors. Managing acne and preventing scarring requires a comprehensive approach tailored to your specific needs. At Mountain Dermatology Specialists, we provide physician-directed care and a full range of treatments designed to clear your skin and restore your confidence.

Prescription Treatments:

Depending on the severity of your acne, our dermatologists may recommend topical treatments, oral antibiotics, hormone therapy, or oral retinoids, like Accutane. These medications target the root causes of acne, such as clogged pores, inflammation, and bacterial growth.

Minimally Invasive In-Office Treatments:

For those needing a boost beyond prescription medications, we offer advanced in-office treatments to accelerate skin clearing and reduce the risk of scarring on your face or body.

Deep Pore Cleansing Facials

These treatments help unclog your pores and remove impurities from the skin, ensuring that acne medications penetrate more effectively. 

Blue Light Therapy

This treatment reduces inflammation and targets acne-causing bacteria on your face or body.

Chemical Peels

By exfoliating your skin this treatment promotes cell turnover, helping to clear pores and reduce acne lesions.

Extractions

Mechanical removal of whiteheads and blackheads, which can be hard to treat with medications alone.

Microdermabrasion

The DiamondGlow® exfoliation treatment gently and deeply cleanses acne-prone skin while improving your texture.

BBL Laser Therapy

Treatments for Acne Scarring

For many, scarring is a lasting reminder of acne. At Mountain Dermatology Specialists, we offer several cutting-edge treatments to reduce acne scarring and restore your skin texture.

Pulse Dye Laser 

The Vbeam pulsed dye laser treats skin conditions such as scarring left by acne by emitting a burst of light to target blood vessels and other areas of your skin reducing redness and discoloration in scars.

Microneedling with PRP

This is a popular choice for improving the texture of acne scarred skin by stimulating collagen production.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

An advanced laser treatment designed to improve the texture of acne scars and stimulate skin renewal.

Intralesional Injections

For thicker or painful scars, steroid and chemotherapy injections can reduce their size and alleviate discomfort.
