Acne Scar Treatments

For the 50 million people who cope with acne, sorting through the numerous acne treatments available can be frustrating and overwhelming. Our team of licensed skin care professionals have been helping patients treat both active acne outbreaks and the scarring that can result from lesions. We want to help you feel better about your complexion and ultimately, about yourself.

At Schweiger Dermatolgy Group, we take a holistic approach, meaning we consult one on one with patients in order to determine the best course of action. Beyond the actual treatment options, we also want to help you create a skincare regimen that works, and that will lead to healthier skin, acne-free skin.

Cortisone Injections

For dealing with pimples that occur right before that big event, senior prom, or even your wedding. Injected directly into the pimple, these shots will take down the inflammation in 24-48 hours.

Blue Light Treatment (Photodynamic therapy)

A blue light activates a topical medication which then helps to kill bacteria, and also shrinks oil-producing glands in the skin.

Microneedling

Laser rejuvenation is typically the go-to treatment for sun damage, wrinkles and acne scars, but microneedling offers a low-tech alternative to laser therapy and can deliver a near perfect complexion with a few sessions.

Microneedling with PrP

In order to minimize aging and restore a naturally youthful look, many of our patients have enjoyed positive results through microneedling with platelet rich plasma (PRP).

Chemical Peels

For age spots, discoloration, wrinkles, or mild scarring, chemical peels can be an effective technique for restoring a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. Administered by our experienced staff, chemical peels involve a solution being applied to the patient’s face.

Extractions

Extractions involve the use of a sterile tool to extract contents of a pimple. This is done typically for whiteheads or blackheads and is not generally performed on cystic type acne.
