What is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns we treat at Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa. All of us have struggled with acne or an outbreak at one point or another, but lasting acne can have a significant impact on how we see ourselves. Acne is the term used to describe blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or any clogged pores that occur on the face or body. These clogged pores can occur for a variety of reasons, like stress, diet, hormones, medications, genetics, and much more.
Normally, minor acne will resolve on its own, especially once we become adults. However, some people suffer from continuous acne problems well into their later stages of life. In more severe cases, acne can lead to permanent scarring and dramatically affect your confidence in your skin.
You may have struggled to treat acne at home using products you find in the store or online. Acne can be notoriously difficult to treat and can require an expert, multi-pronged approach. Here, you can find cutting-edge treatments designed to help you enjoy clear skin without worry.
Who Is a Candidate for Acne Treatments?
If you’ve struggled with acne and found no real results, you can benefit from acne treatment with our skincare experts. During a consultation, we’ll have a lengthy discussion about your past history with acne, treatments and products you’ve tried, and your overall habits. From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan, including lifestyle changes, products, and treatments.

What Acne Treatments Can Help With
Acne treatment isn’t just about reversing breakouts – it’s about preventing them in the first place. We can help improve the health of your skin and make it less likely to become clogged with oil, dirt, and makeup, reducing the frequency of your breakouts. As for acne scars, we can reduce their appearance and lessen the impact of severe acne. Reducing the severity and frequency of your breakouts can mean fewer acne scars form in the future, too. In short, professional acne treatment is the best way to get your skin smooth and clear with long-term results.
Treatments for Acne in Greater Milwaukee
Although prescription retinoids can be effective for acne treatment, not everyone wants to use them. We offer state-of-the-art alternatives designed to show real results and improve the overall health of your skin.
Alma Hybrid
Alma Hybrid laser combines the benefits of CO2 resurfacing and non-ablative rejuvenation, meaning you can treat your skin at multiple depths at once. The CO2 laser can remove the top layer of skin, promoting regrowth and exfoliating swollen, clogged areas. At the same time, the non-ablative energy can support the growth of new collagen, filling in acne scars and improving your skin’s overall health and hydration. Due to its hybrid mechanism, downtime is minimal.
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are highly effective at exfoliating away dead and damaged skin cells that contribute to breakouts. It works by applying a concentrated chemical solution to the skin (containing potent active ingredients such as glycolic acid). After a few days, the skin begins to peel, revealing a healthy new layer of skin underneath. It’s an ideal way to control oil and get rid of any breakout-causing particles or cells. Chemical peels can even be made more powerful to reach further into the skin and help reset deep acne scars.
Cleansing Therapeutic Facials
Although you can get facials at any day spa, our medical-grade therapeutic facials can help combat acne like no other. Our skincare specialists can develop a personalized facial that tackles your unique concerns with the biggest names in physician-grade skincare. Regular cleansing therapeutic facials can help set your skin up for success and manage breakouts before they even start.
Medical Grade Skincare
We offer some of the leading brands and products in medical-grade skincare. Although you can find products for acne at the drug store, these products are often limited in their potency and effectiveness because they don’t require oversight from a medical practitioner. Our medical team can help you find the products and the results you need to build out a skincare regimen that works.
Scarlet SRF Microneedling
Scarlet SRF is the next generation in microneedling. Microneedling is one of the most prominent and effective options for acne scars because of its ability to break up scar tissue and promote the growth of new collagen. Scarlet SRF improves on traditional microneedling by reducing downtime and boosting collagen growth even further through short-pulse radiofrequency energy. If you have severe acne scars, Scarlet SRF is one of our most effective solutions.
