Acne Specialist in Houston, TX
Acne is a common skin condition that impacts individuals of all ages. Although acne is most common in adolescents, it can also affect adults, especially women going through hormonal changes. The key to treating acne is finding the right solution for your unique skin type. Not everyone responds to the same type of treatment, which is what makes acne difficult to address. At Beautopia, we take a comprehensive approach to treating your acne within 3-5 months by diagnosing the type of acne you have, customizing proper home care products, acne treatments and lifestyle/diet coaching.
Acne Scarring
Acne can be a devastating disorder – not only is it frustrating to have active acne in the form of spots, redness and pustules, these lesions can leave their mark in the form of scars and dark spots.
Icepick: Looks like an ice pick has been pressed into the skin. It is generally small in diameter, but can be shallow or deep. These can often be treated with a series of chemical peels, microneedling or the Microneedling with PRP . 4-6 treatments are needed for best results.
Box: Looks somewhat like a chicken pox scar with more rounded edges. It can be small or large in diameter and is fairly deep, though not usually as deep as icepick scars. These can often be treated with a series of chemical peels, microneedling or the Microneedling with PRP. 4-6 treatments are needed for best results.
Rolling: Looks like a smooth indentation in the skin. These scars can be deep or shallow, but are generally more shallow. Since this type of scarring is very deep combination treatments are recommended for best results. Microneedling and the Microneedling with PRP facial can help with the appearance but would need 6 treatments. You will need to contact your dermatologist or plastic surgeon for additional treatments such as laser resurfacing, fillers, and or scar excision AKA punch excision.
Hypertrophic: Otherwise known as keloids which are the excess growth of scar tissue at the site of a healed skin injury. These types of scars usually take a more aggressive medical modality to see results.

Acne Treatments
We will want to see you every two weeks for an acne treatment. It typically takes about 6-8 treatments over a 3-4 month period of time to get you mostly to completely clear. Your Acne Specialist will:
- Assess what type of treatment your skin needs when you come in. They will also assess how your home care regimen will be adjusted so that your skin does not over-adapt and stop responding.
- Perform an acne treatment with extractions.
As you get clear, your treatments will become shorter – there just won’t be as many extractions to do.
After your acne is under control, you will simply need to maintain your home care products to keep clear.

Body Acne Treatments
Acne on the body is assessed the same way as on the face. We still test the skin for sensitivity and tolerance to products. Often, the back needs stronger products because the skin is thicker and less sensitive than on the face.
