Acne Treatments

At Anh Vu, M.D., we offer a range of acne treatments to provide the comprehensive care patients need to reduce acne and eliminate acne scars. Patients in the St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, and Daytona Beach areas can rely on Dr. Anh Vu for safe, effective acne treatments.

What Are Acne Treatments?

Acne treatments are specially designed procedures that target the causes of acne and eliminate acne from the skin. Most of these procedures work by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin where acne occurs and encouraging healthy, undamaged skin to take its place. These treatments can also help shrink pores and eliminate blackheads, both of which usually need attention in patients with acne.

What Acne Treatments Are Available?

At Anh Vu, M.D., we offer only the most effective acne treatments to help patients achieve the best possible results. These treatments currently include:

Harmony Rejuve Facial

The Harmony Rejuve Facial is our signature facial treatment, tailored to each patient’s individual goals. We customize this treatment specifically for acne. This facial includes a deep cleansing, followed by extractions to clear the pores. The treatment ends with a gentle exfoliating massage, leaving the skin refreshed and renewed.

Salicylic Peel

The salicylic peel uses salicylic acid, which penetrates and clears pores. A series of salicylic peels helps patients with acne because clogged pores can be a leading cause of breakouts.

High Frequency Treatment

High frequency treatment uses a safe, high-frequency electric current on the skin. This treatment eliminates toxins and acne-causing bacteria in the skin. It also exfoliates dead skin cells and increases collagen production for added benefits.

VI Acne Peel

The VI acne peel uses benzoyl peroxide, helping patients see improvement in acne-prone skin in just seven days. This treatment is effective for patients as young as 12 and is virtually painless. We recommend dermaplaning immediately before and a Harmony Rejuve Facial 6 weeks after the peel.

Glycolic Peel

Glycolic peels treat acne by reducing pore size and decreasing skin oil. This treatment also encourages the exfoliation of dead skin cells and creates a radiant skin tone immediately following treatment.

How Are Acne Treatments Administered?

Facials and chemical peels are gentle, comfortable procedures that involve cleansing the skin and applying the desired treatment formula. High-frequency treatments are also quite comfortable and are administered using a special handheld device. These treatments typically take about an hour, though high-frequency treatments are much faster.

What Can I Expect After My Acne Treatment?

Most acne treatments cause exfoliation or peeling, so patients can expect some redness or tenderness for a few days after treatment. Once the redness fades, you will notice more vibrant skin and a reduced appearance of acne. Many patients have multiple acne treatments to achieve their desired results.
