Effective Acne Treatments in Detroit and Southfield, MI
Acne is not just a skin condition suffered by teens. Adult acne and acne scars leave some people feeling insecure about their appearance. Dr. Mariam Awada can help! Whether you suffer from active breakouts or lingering scars, our clinic provides customized acne treatments that target your specific skin concerns, helping you achieve a smooth, clear complexion.
Do You Suffer From Old or Active Acne?
At Dr. Beauty we provide advanced laser treatments that offer consistent, visible improvements in the skin with no downtime, minimal discomfort, and no risk. Acne, commonly described as zits, blemishes, spots, pimples, or breakouts, is an often uncomfortable condition that can start in childhood or adulthood. It affects the skin’s sebaceous (oil) glands, leading to red spots, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), or deep pimples when these glands become clogged. Acne can appear on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest. To help you regain clear, healthy skin, we offer a variety of cutting-edge clinical treatments, including lasers, facials, chemical peels, and other cosmetic treatment options. Dr. Mariam Awada and her team of licensed professionals are committed to helping you overcome your skin concerns with revolutionary treatments designed to help you look and feel your best.
Areas of Treatment
We treat acne across various body areas where breakouts and scarring are most common:
- Face: Acne typically affects the face and can be treated with laser, chemical peels, and facials to clear active acne and reduce scars.
- Neck: Acne often extends to the neck, and our treatments help reduce acne and improve skin texture.
- Shoulders and Upper Back: We address body acne, which can be especially common in these areas, using advanced treatment methods.
- Chest: Clear stubborn acne on the chest with our effective laser and peel treatments.
Active Acne Treatments
Our active acne treatments aim to reduce breakouts and prevent future ones. We recommend Dermalinfusion, a skin treatment that deeply cleanses pores and delivers serums directly to the skin to enhance the appearance of acne-prone skin. The goal of these treatments is to minimize scarring, reduce your acne, improve your skin’s appearance, and help you feel your best.
- Laser Treatments: Our state-of-the-art laser technology targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and speeds up the skin’s healing process, leaving your skin clearer and healthier.
- Chemical Peels: These exfoliating treatments remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of acne. Chemical peels are highly effective for treating active acne and improving overall skin texture.
Treating Old Acne Scars
Acne scars can often be more distressing than the breakouts themselves. At Dr. Beauty, we offer specialized treatments to reduce both deep and superficial scarring.
- Icon® Fractional: Helps resurface deep scars caused by acne, promoting collagen production and smoother skin texture.
- PicoWay® Resolve: Ideal for treating finer, more superficial scars and reducing pore size, giving you an airbrushed appearance.
What Should I Expect During My Treatment?
The treated area will be cleaned of lotions or makeup. Specific parameters are selected for each treatment depending on your skin evaluation, your skin type, and characteristics, and the extent of your skin damage to achieve optimal results. You will be lying comfortably while our licensed esthetician delivers a series of gentle pulses of a special light to the skin, in a non-invasive and safe manner. The procedure is typically very well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
