acne and acne scarring

Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that can affect patients at any stage of life from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Because acne presents in several distinct forms, accurately identifying the type or combination of types affecting your skin is the essential first step in creating an effective treatment plan.
One of Dr. Doyle’s areas of clinical focus is acne. She trained under Dr. Alan Shalita, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern acne treatment, whose work helped establish foundational acne therapy. This training informs a thoughtful, evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s skin and long-term goals.
Once active acne is well controlled, attention can be directed toward improving the appearance of any residual acne scarring.
Red (erythematous) acne scars may be improved with a carefully curated topical/oral regimen and select laser treatments designed to reduce redness and promote skin clarity.
Textural acne scars can be addressed with treatments such as traditional microneedling, Genius® RF microneedling, and certain laser technologies to stimulate collagen and refine skin texture.
Our approach emphasizes precision, balance, and gradual improvement supporting healthier skin.
