Acne 

At Atlanta MediSpa, we specialize in effective, customized treatment for acne, acne scarring, and rosacea for both teens and adults. Whether you're struggling with hormonal acne, cystic breakouts, or rosacea flare-ups, our experienced medical team, led by Dr. Debra Atkins, will create a personalized plan based on your skin’s specific needs. Common causes of acne include hormonal changes, stress, diet, genetics, and improper skincare—many of which we address during your initial consultation.

​

We offer a range of advanced, results-driven treatments for acne and acne scars, including:

  • Medical-grade skincare regimens – Target and manage acne at the source with physician-recommended products tailored to your skin type.

  • Oral medications for persistent acne – Treat more severe or hormonal acne from within, under expert medical supervision.

  • Microneedling for acne scars – Stimulate collagen production to smooth and reduce the appearance of scarring.

  • Chemical peels to resurface skin – Improve skin texture, unclog pores, and fade dark marks left behind by acne.

  • IV therapy to support skin health from within – Deliver essential vitamins and hydration to improve overall skin clarity and healing.

Topical Acne Treatments

  • Benzoyl Peroxide – Kills acne-causing bacteria and breaks down pore-clogging oils.

  • Salicylic Acid – Unclogs pores and gently exfoliates dead skin cells.

  • Azelaic Acid – Reduces inflammation and bacteria, often used for acne and rosacea.

  • Retinoids (Tretinoin, Adapalene, Tazarotene) – Boosts collagen and speeds up cell turnover to prevent clogged pores.

  • Topical Antibiotics (Clindamycin, Erythromycin) – Helps reduce inflammation and oil production.

  • Combination therapy (Benzoyl Peroxide + Antibiotics) – A powerful duo for controlling bacteria and sebum.

  • Microdermabrasion – In-office exfoliation to remove dead skin and reduce clogged pores.

  • Blu-U Light Therapy – A non-invasive LED treatment that targets acne-causing bacteria.

Acne Scarring Solutions

    • Breaks up scar tissue gradually with minimal downtime

    • Requires a series of treatments for best results

  • Fraxel Laser Resurfacing

    • Uses energy-based channels to target deeper scar tissue

    • More intensive than microneedling, but often yields faster results

    • Fills deep acne scars and divots using a subcision technique

    • Adds volume and smooths uneven texture
