Clear active breakouts and prevent new ones with medical aesthetic care.

About Acne Treatments

Acne isn't one condition — it's driven by a mix of excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Effective treatment addresses all four. At Miami Skin Spa our approach starts with a skin consultation to identify your acne type and triggers, then layers in-office treatments (peels, extractions, targeted facials) with an at-home regimen built for your skin.

Acne affects more than just your skin — it can impact your self-esteem. At Miami Skin Spa, we offer specialized acne treatments designed to tackle various types of active acne. Our team of experts, including Jasmine Vazquez-Mack, APRN-C, and Mariana Tolosa, PA-C, uses advanced, personalized approaches to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

If you have spent years cycling through over-the-counter cleansers, drugstore spot treatments, and home remedies that promise the world and deliver almost nothing, you already know that real acne care is not a single product. It is a layered plan that meets your skin where it is right now, adjusts as your skin changes, and protects the progress you make along the way. That is the philosophy our medical team brings to every consultation, every peel, and every home-care recommendation we make in Brickell.

What Acne Treatment Entails

Our acne treatments go beyond the surface. We start with a personalized consultation to understand your skin's unique characteristics, addressing everything from persistent pimples to stubborn, recurring breakouts. Your treatment plan may include chemical peels, laser therapy, and targeted serums to treat active acne and prevent future breakouts.

Because acne is rarely caused by a single trigger, our consultation is intentionally thorough. We talk through your medical history, your hormonal cycle if relevant, the products in your current routine, the foods you eat regularly, and the patterns you have noticed in your own breakouts. That conversation tells us whether your acne is being driven primarily by hormones, by clogged pores from comedogenic products, by inflammation, or by some combination of all three — and that is what determines which in-office treatments we layer together.

What "Personalized" Actually Means Here

Personalization is not a buzzword in our practice. Two patients can walk in with what looks like identical breakouts and walk out with completely different plans:

  • One may benefit most from a series of VI Peels to clear deep congestion and rebalance oil production
  • Another may respond better to a clarifying HydraFacial followed by extractions and a custom home regimen
  • A third may need both, sequenced over several weeks, with adjustments after each visit
  • Our team revisits your plan at every appointment so we can step up, scale back, or change direction based on how your skin is responding.

    Benefits of Acne Treatment

    At Miami Skin Spa, we view skincare as a holistic journey. Our acne treatment promotes overall skin wellness for a lasting and transformative experience.

    Boost Your Confidence

    By addressing the root causes of acne, our treatments help you regain your confidence with clearer skin. Acne does not exist in a vacuum — patients tell us the way they feel about their skin shows up in how they show up at work, on dates, in photos, and in the mirror every morning. Clearing active breakouts is the first step in giving you that confidence back.

    Get Personalized Care

    Each plan is tailored to your specific acne concerns, ensuring effective, long-lasting results. We do not run anyone through a generic protocol. Your plan is built around the type of acne you have, your skin type, your tolerance for downtime, and your timeline.

    Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Our treatments offer visible results with minimal downtime, so you can quickly get back to your routine. Most of the in-office treatments we use for active acne — peels, facials, extractions, and HydraFacial — let you walk back into your day with little more than a slight flush.

    Enjoy Long-Term Results

    We provide you with the knowledge and aftercare strategies to maintain your skin's health and prevent future breakouts. Clearing active acne is only half the work. The other half is keeping it from coming back, which is why your home regimen and lifestyle adjustments are built into every treatment plan from day one.

    The Procedure

    Your acne treatment journey begins with a detailed skin consultation to discuss your skin history and goals. Based on your unique needs, we may recommend a combination of treatments, such as:

  • VI Peel: A medical-grade chemical peel that exfoliates and stimulates collagen production to reduce active acne and calm inflammation.
  • HydraFacial: A gentle yet effective treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates, helping to minimize pore congestion and improve acne-prone skin. Learn more on our HydraFacial service page.
  • Clarifying Facials with Extractions: Our targeted facials combine deep cleansing, professional extractions, and acne-calming serums to manage active breakouts.
  • How We Sequence Treatments

    For most patients, we layer treatments rather than rely on one alone. A common starting cadence looks like this:

  • Initial consultation: to identify your acne drivers and skin type
  • First in-office treatment: — typically a peel or HydraFacial, depending on what your skin can tolerate
  • Home regimen launch: with medical-grade cleansers, actives, and SPF
  • Follow-up visit at 2–4 weeks: to assess response and adjust
  • Maintenance plan: once active breakouts are controlled
  • This rhythm gives your skin time to respond between treatments and gives our team a chance to fine-tune your home regimen as your acne calms down.

    Recovery Time

    Most acne treatments involve minimal downtime. You can expect to return to your daily activities quickly, with guidance on post-treatment care to ensure optimal and lasting results.

    After a VI Peel, you can expect light flaking that begins around day 3 and resolves within about a week. HydraFacials and clarifying facials have essentially no downtime — most patients head straight back to work or out with friends after their appointment. Whatever you have done, our team sends you home with specific instructions on cleansing, sun protection, and which products to pause for the next several days.

    Who is a Candidate for Acne Treatment?

    Our acne treatments are suitable for individuals of all ages and skin types, dealing with mild to severe acne. Ideal candidates are those seeking a holistic and long-term approach to clear, healthy skin.

    That includes:

  • Teenagers: dealing with classic adolescent breakouts driven by hormonal shifts and excess oil
  • Adults in their 20s and 30s: with hormonal acne along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks
  • Patients with PCOS or thyroid-related skin changes: who need a coordinated approach
  • People with sensitive or reactive skin: who have not tolerated harsh over-the-counter actives
  • Patients who have tried prescription routes: and want to add in-office care to support their progress
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, certain treatments are not appropriate, and we will adjust your plan accordingly. Our specialists will walk you through what is and is not safe at your consultation.
