Let’s Talk About Real Solutions for Acne and Acne Scarring

Professional Care at Midwest DERMaesthetics

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns treated in dermatology—affecting teens and adults of every age. At Midwest Dermatology, our board-certified physicians, PAs, and nurse practitioners treat acne at its root with medically sound evaluation and care plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

At Midwest DERMaesthetics, we take that same clinical approach to the next step—helping calm active breakouts, reduce redness, and restore clarity and balance to skin affected by acne and scarring. Our treatments are designed to complement medical care or serve as a gentle, effective option for those with milder acne or who prefer a more natural approach.

The products we recommend are always professional-grade, oil-free, and carefully selected for acne-prone skin—free from the fragrances and additives that can worsen breakouts. That’s a big difference from many over-the-counter “acne solutions,” which can look elegant but often contain ingredients that work against clear, healthy skin.

At Midwest DERMaesthetics, your acne care is guided by expertise, backed by science, and personalized for lasting results.

Every Acne Plan Begins with a Skin Care Consultation

Because acne can be influenced by oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, hormones, lifestyle habits, or even the products used at home, every acne patient starts with a Skin Care Consultation.

During this appointment, licensed aestheticians assess:

• Type and severity of acne
• Skin sensitivity
• Current product usage
• Lifestyle factors
• Previous treatments and responses
• Presence of scarring or discoloration

Patients may also book a Consult & Treat appointment, allowing the aesthetician to evaluate the skin and choose the most appropriate treatment on the same visit.

Professional Acne Treatment Options

Our acne treatment menu includes clinical-grade services that clear congestion, calm inflammation, and support a healthier skin barrier.

Acne Peel

A light chemical peel designed to support cell turnover, clear active breakouts, and refine pores with minimal downtime.

Deep Pore Acne Treatment

A corrective treatment including cleansing, professional-grade products, extractions, a targeted treatment mask, and finishing products. Frequently recommended by Midwest Dermatology physicians.

Acne Oxygen Facial

Uses targeted oxygen infusion to reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation, supported by enzymes and antioxidants.

Back Treatment

Targets acne on the back—an area that’s difficult to treat at home. Includes cleansing, extractions, masques, and blue or red-light therapy.

Acne Clarifying HydraFacial

A HydraFacial for oily or congested skin. Deeply cleans clogged pores and uses clarifying solutions with blue-light therapy to calm breakouts and reduce inflammation.

Extractions Only

For patients needing targeted clearing of clogged pores, we offer extractions as a standalone service—performed manually or with HydraFacial technology.

New Option: VI Peel – Purify with Precision + Peptides

For acne-prone skin needing deeper resurfacing, we now offer the VI Peel Purify with Precision + Peptides—a specially formulated clarifying chemical peel designed specifically to treat acne and acne-related discoloration. This advanced treatment targets clogged pores, calms inflammation, improves texture, and promotes clearer, more even skin. It’s now available at both Midwest DERMaesthetics locations — and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!

 Treating Acne Scarring with SkinPen

When breakouts improve but scars remain, SkinPen® microneedling offers a proven path to smoother, more even skin. As the first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen is clinically shown to improve the appearance of acne scars safely and effectively—with little to no downtime.

The treatment works by creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. As new collagen and elastin form, scar tissue remodels from within—gradually softening indented scars, refining texture, and restoring a more balanced surface. Over a series of treatments, patients often notice skin that looks smoother, firmer, and more radiant overall.

Because SkinPen is a medical-grade device, a consultation is required before booking. This ensures your aesthetician can assess your skin type, scar pattern, and treatment goals—and determine whether microneedling is the right choice for your complexion.
