Benefits Of Visiting An Acne Specialist in Santa Monica
More Options for You
We understand your skin and your acne are unique, so we offer a variety of treatments that can be personalized to fit your needs.
Incredible Results
Our specialized acne treatments can give you stunning results—leading to diminished scarring, smoother skin, and a clearer complexion to enhance your natural beauty.
Healthy Skin
While also addressing acne and acne scarring, many of our treatments also stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to stronger, healthier skin overall.
Consultation
To start, you’ll sit down for a consultation with our acne specialist in Santa Monica. Here, you’ll discuss your medical history, current concerns, and goals for treatment.
After inspecting your skin, your provider will determine which acne treatment is the best for your skin type. From there, we’ll answer any questions you may have about what to expect and schedule your appointment.
Procedure
We offer a range of effective acne treatments, such as a cortisone shot for cysts, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, dermaplaning, microneedling, chemical peels, and more. Each type of treatment provides its own benefits for clearer, smoother skin. With these treatments, you can:
- Eliminate the acne (even during an active outbreak)
- Destroy acne-causing bacteria
- Reduce or eliminate acne scars
- Clean out pores
- Remove dead skin
- And more!
Recovery
Most of our acne treatments are minimally invasive or noninvasive—with no surgery required—and have little to no downtime. Every single treatment will have its own recovery time. If there is downtime associated with your chosen treatment, your provider will keep you informed.
At the time of your consultation with your acne specialist in Santa Monica, you may discuss any potential side effects of each treatment option and their respective recovery times. At Younique, we take pride it making sure your treatment and aftercare match your lifestyle to give you the best solutions for your concerns.

What are some of the common locations for acne treatment?
We treat acne wherever it occurs, which is commonly found on the:
- Neck
- Face
- Back
- Shoulders
Acne doesn’t always stop once you leave your teen years—it can continue well into adulthood. For both adults and teenagers alike, acne is a common skin condition that develops when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria get trapped in pores. Breakouts vary based on the person, location, and severity. Your acne specialist in Santa Monica can help you determine the best course of treatment for you.
No matter what type of acne you’re dealing with or where it might be, we provide an array of treatment options to help. Something like a chemical peel may help lessen inflammation, decrease papules, and eliminate blackheads.
How does acne cause scarring?
Acne scarring happens when acne bursts just below the surface of the skin. Think about a small pipe that slowly gets clogged over time; a similar phenomenon is happening with a clogged pore. Anything that tries to pass through that clogged pore gets backed up, which inflames the skin—causing a pimple to be born. But if that pipe bursts, it can do some damage.
Scars caused by acne are frustrating, and they can stand in the way of your confidence. No one should have to feel negatively about themselves because of acne scarring. In fact, acne scar reduction is one of our more common dermatology-related treatments. Here at Younique, we understand the “why” of acne scarring, and we effectively treat it with a number of methods to clear away scars and smooth your skin.
