Don’t Let Breakouts Control U
Stop letting acne write your story. While some people seem blessed with naturally flawless skin, others wage daily wars against stubborn breakouts that refuse to respond to drugstore remedies. The truth is, persistent acne requires more than over-the-counter solutions and wishful thinking. It demands professional-grade treatments that address the root causes of acne, restoring your skin’s natural balance and your confidence along with it.
Acne develops when the pores become clogged with dirt, oil and dead skin cells, which creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. This buildup causes various types of blemishes to appear on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. The most common types of acne are whiteheads and blackheads, but in severe cases, inflamed cysts or nodules can also develop.
Although often associated with puberty, acne affects people of all ages. In both teens and adults, acne breakouts can be triggered or worsened by:
Although it can be tempting, squeezing or popping pimples can make acne breakouts worse, pushing bacteria deeper in the skin and increasing the risk of scarring. Once acne scars appear, they remain long after the blemish has cleared and can be difficult to treat with home remedies.
Different types of acne can form simultaneously, each requiring specialized attention. Whiteheads appear when clogged pores remain closed beneath the skin’s surface. Blackheads occur when the pores stay open but become filled with debris.
More severe forms include papules, which are small pink bumps that feel tender to the touch, and pustules, inflamed lesions that can leave lasting marks if not treated properly. The most challenging types are nodules and cysts, large, painful bumps that develop deep within the skin and often lead to scarring without professional intervention

Our approach to acne treatment goes beyond temporary fixes. We focus on treating existing acne breakouts and the underlying causes to help you achieve clearer, healthier and more radiant skin. Under the guidance of Dr. William Umansky and Dr. Jeffrey Umansky, our team has carefully selected treatments that deliver both immediate improvement and long-term benefits.
Our experienced aestheticians perform deep-cleansing treatments that remove impurities, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. These therapeutic facials include extractions when appropriate, helping to clear existing breakouts while preventing new ones from forming.
Chemical peels accelerate your skin’s natural renewal process by removing dead skin cells and promoting healthy cell turnover. We offer varying strengths of peels, from gentle options for sensitive skin to more intensive treatments for stubborn acne. Regular peels not only clear active breakouts but also help fade the dark spots that often linger long after pimples heal.
The Hollywood Spectra laser is an FDA-cleared device that can help control acne by reducing oil production, killing acne-causing bacteria and minimizing the appearance of acne scars. One of the most popular treatments using this platform, the Hollywood Laser Peel, deep cleans the pores and shrinks overactive sebaceous glands, helping you achieve clear skin that lasts.
IPL delivers broad-spectrum light that penetrates deep into your skin, eliminating acne-causing bacteria while reducing the redness and inflammation associated with active breakouts. Those frustrating dark spots that remain after breakouts also respond beautifully to IPL therapy, gradually fading to reveal more even skin tone. Many patients notice significant improvement in both active acne and residual discoloration after just a few sessions.
Achieving clear skin requires consistent home care between professional treatments. Our team provides personalized skincare recommendations based on your specific skin type, acne severity, and treatment goals. We’ll help you establish an effective routine using medical-grade products that complement your in-office treatments without causing irritation or over-drying.
Every patient’s acne journey is unique, which is why we begin with a thorough consultation to assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our experienced team will examine your skin, review your medical history and explain which treatments will be most effective for your specific situation.
During your consultation, we’ll also discuss realistic expectations and create a timeline for your results. While some improvements may be visible after your first treatment, optimal outcomes typically require a series of sessions combined with appropriate at-home care. We’ll monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to keep you on track to clearer skin.
Most patients begin to see breakouts subside after a few weeks, with continued improvement over the following months. The key to success lies in consistency and a comprehensive approach that addresses active breakouts while preventing new ones from forming.
