At Minarets Medical Group, we offer a comprehensive range of acne treatments designed to target and address various types of acne lesions effectively. Our experienced dermatologists employ a personalized approach, tailoring treatment plans to suit each patient’s unique needs based on their skin type and the severity of their acne.
These include over-the-counter and prescription gels, creams, and lotions containing active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, salicylic acid, and antibiotics. Topical treatments reduce oil production, unclog pores, and eliminate acne-causing bacteria.
This minimally invasive procedure involves gently exfoliating the skin’s surface using a device with a diamond-tipped or crystal exfoliating tip. Microdermabrasion helps unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, reduce age spots, improve overall skin texture, and reduce fine lines.
Acne laser treatment and light-based therapies are advanced treatments that target acne by destroying bacteria, reducing oil production, and promoting skin healing. This non-invasive treatment can help improve the appearance of acne and reduce the risk of scarring.
Chemical peels, including our specialized acne facial, involve applying a chemical solution that exfoliates the skin’s outer layer and promotes the growth of new, healthier skin. It can help improve the skin condition by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and smoothing skin texture.
If you continue to experience acne well into your 20s, 30s, and beyond, you might have adult-onset acne, persistent acne, and aging skin.
If you are susceptible to hormonal changes, this can trigger acne during menstruation or pregnancy or if you have conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
If your acne is moderate to severe, characterized by large, painful cysts or nodules beneath your skin, you may need more intensive treatment to prevent scarring and other complications.
If you have a family history of acne, you might be more prone to developing it yourself.
While stress doesn’t directly cause acne, it can exacerbate it by influencing hormonal levels and other body processes.

Here are the benefits of our acne treatment:
Effective acne management helps minimize acne scarring and blemishes resulting from acne breakouts. Treatments like acne scar removal can also aid in the healing process of existing scars, making them less noticeable.
The recovery process after acne treatment varies by type and individual skin problems. Topical treatments can cause mild irritation, redness, or dryness, which usually lessen as the skin adapts. Oral medications might lead to sensitivity to sunlight and increased risk of sun damage, dryness, and gastrointestinal upset, necessitating regular acne specialist visits for management. Laser therapy patients may experience several days of redness, swelling, and sunburn-like sensations, requiring sun avoidance and sunscreen use. Chemical peels differ in recovery; light peels cause brief redness and scaling, while deeper peels require longer recovery with more intense peeling. Microdermabrasion has minimal downtime, typically only slight redness and dryness, managed with gentle skin care and moisturizers. Specialized procedures like corticosteroid injections or extractions can lead to temporary redness or swelling, and following post-procedure care instructions is essential. Adhering to dermatologist guidance is necessary for effective healing and side effect management.
The cost of acne treatment ranges from $10 to $600 or more, depending on factors such as the type of treatment recommended, the severity of your acne, and the number of sessions required. At Minarets Medical Group, we prioritize transparency in pricing and strive to offer affordable options for our patients.
