Acne Treatment at VDCmed
At VDCmed, we offer comprehensive, science-based acne treatments tailored to your skin type, acne severity, and underlying causes. Our approach may include advanced therapies such as medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, photodynamic therapy (IPL or laser), microneedling, and acne-focused facials. Each treatment plan begins with a personalized consultation and skin analysis. We also educate you on proper home care to prevent breakouts and support long-term skin health. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, clear active acne, and minimize scarring—for clearer, healthier skin with lasting results.
How you prepare
To prepare for acne treatment at VDCmed, avoid sun exposure and stop using active skincare ingredients like retinoids or acids 7-10 days before your session. Come with clean, makeup-free skin, and let us know about any medications or health conditions. Avoid other facial treatments a week before, and stay well-hydrated for best results.
Asks about your medical history
Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions and any medicines you are taking or have recently taken. You also might be asked about previous cosmetic procedures you’ve had and how you react to sun exposure. For example, do you burn easily? Rarely?
Does a physical exam
A physical exam is performed before acne treatment at VDCmed. The provider assesses your skin type, acne severity, presence of inflammation, and any underlying conditions. This helps customize the most effective and safe treatment plan for your skin.
Reviews Your Treatment Expectations
The provider also talks with you about your expectations—discussing your skin goals, treatment options, and what results you can realistically achieve. This ensures a personalized approach and clear understanding before starting treatment.
What you can expect
During your acne treatment, you may experience mild redness, dryness, or peeling as your skin adjusts. Treatments work to reduce inflammation, clear breakouts, and prevent new acne from forming. Results usually become noticeable after several sessions, with clearer, smoother skin and reduced scarring over time. Your provider will guide you through each step and customize care for the best long-term outcome.
