Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that usually manifests between the ages of 11 and 30, and most often around puberty when hormone levels begin to increase, causing the skin’s sebaceous glands to produce more oil and pores to become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Many women choose breast augmentation to improve the proportions of their bodies, give them the size breasts they have always wanted, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and boost their self-confidence.
These glands are located within the hair follicles and are responsible for keeping the skin hydrated. The oil is meant to travel through the follicles to the skin, but different conditions can interrupt that process, causing pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or deeper cysts. These breakouts most often occur on the face, chest, and back.
Contrary to popular belief, acne is not an indication that you do not take care of your skin. Most blemishes are caused by a combination of factors, and acne treatments must involve a multi-faceted solution to this complex cosmetic problem. Our procedures do just that.

The most professional, yet compassionate set of people I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Medina, Stacey and Christine are heaven sent! I literally followed Dr. Medina from Boston to Atlanta because he’s an excellent surgeon and will deliver hands down. Stacey will literally answer the phone in the middle of the night if you have any questions. Thank you all for contributing to making me feel alive again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best acne treatment?
There is no single “best” acne treatment that works for everyone, so the best acne treatment for you depends on your skin and what is causing your breakouts. Some people need treatments like chemical peels or microneedling, while others may only need to upgrade their skincare products. The experts at IBI Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can help determine the treatment that will be most effective for you and give you the results you want.
How long do acne treatments take to work?
Most people start to see changes within a few weeks, but the most significant results usually begin to appear after a series of treatments.
Do acne treatments hurt?
Some acne treatments may cause some discomfort, but these treatments are usually done after a numbing gel has been applied to the treatment area about 30 minutes in advance.
Some acne treatments are classified as non-invasive and do not involve any pain, while others are classified as minimally invasive. You may feel slight tingling, warmth, or pressure during certain procedures, but the numbing gel helps keep discomfort to a tolerable level.
Do acne treatments help with acne scars and dark spots?
Yes. Many treatments can improve both active acne and residual acne marks. They may help fade dark spots and make acne scars appear lighter and smoother.
How many acne treatments will I need?
It depends on your skin, how severe your acne is, and the treatment you are using. Some people need a few sessions, while others may need recurring treatments to keep their skin clear.
Is there downtime after acne treatments?
Many acne treatments have little to no downtime. You might experience some redness or mild peeling for a few days, depending on the treatment.
Can acne come back after treatment?
Yes, acne can return even after some treatments. If it is linked to hormones or oil production, you may require scheduled maintenance treatments and a good skincare routine to keep it under control.
