About Cystic Acne

Cystic acne produces large, inflamed nodules deep beneath the skin surface. These painful lesions can last weeks, resist over-the-counter treatments, and carry the highest risk of permanent scarring.

Professional management is essential for cystic acne — squeezing or picking causes further inflammation and scarring. We use targeted treatments to reduce inflammation, prevent new cysts, and protect your skin from lasting damage. Using Hollywood Spectra, Hydrafacial Vortex, we deliver precise, measurable improvement.
