ACNE TREATMENT IN ORLANDO
Acne is more than “just breakouts.” It can be hormonal, inflammatory, congestive, or driven by skin barrier disruption—and it often requires more than random products to resolve.
At The Phoenix Clinique, we create customized acne treatment plans designed to clear active breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent future flare-ups—while protecting your skin barrier and improving overall skin health.
​
With us, acne treatment is approached strategically—calming inflammation, clearing congestion, and strengthening the skin barrier so results are long-term, not temporary.

OUR APPROACH
With the multitude of acne treatments available, finding the right approach often involves individual assessment and planning. It's essential to consult with a dermatology expert to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on the severity and underlying causes of your acne. Whether opting for over-the-counter remedies, prescription medications, or professional procedures, the goal is to address both existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts, ultimately restoring confidence and promoting healthy skin.
ACNE
TREATMENTS
lifestyle & routine
Healthy Diet: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can support overall skin health. Avoiding excessive sugar, dairy, and processed foods may also help reduce acne and inflammation.
​​
Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate acne flare-ups, so practicing relaxation techniques and other stress management practice can benefit your skin.
​​
Regular Skincare Routine: Establishing a consistent skincare regimen with gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection can help maintain clear skin and prevent breakouts.
professional procedures
Chemical Peels: Our skin experts can perform chemical peels using acids like glycolic acid or salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and improve acne.
​
Microneedling, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, has gained recognition for its ability to improve various skin concerns, including acne. During microneedling, a device equipped with fine needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. This process stimulates collagen production and enhances skin regeneration, leading to smoother texture and improved tone. microneedling addresses both active acne and the lingering effects of past breakouts, leading to clearer, more radiant skin.
prescription therapies
Topical Retinoids: Derived from vitamin A, prescription-strength retinoids can unclog pores, promote cell turnover, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
​
Oral Antibiotics: Antibiotics such as tetracycline or erythromycin may be prescribed to control acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
​
Birth Control Pills: For women with hormonal acne, certain oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestin can regulate hormone levels and improve skin clarity.
​
Isotretinoin (Accutane): Reserved for severe, treatment-resistant acne, isotretinoin is a potent oral medication that reduces oil production, shrinks oil glands, and prevents acne recurrence.
medical grade skin care
Medical grade skin care products for acne are specially formulated with potent ingredients designed to effectively target and treat acne-prone skin. These products typically contain clinically proven active ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and glycolic acid, which work synergistically to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and control excess oil production. Unlike over-the-counter products, medical grade formulations are often more concentrated and undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and efficacy. Incorporating medical grade skin care products into a daily skincare routine can help individuals combat acne, improve skin texture, and achieve a clearer, healthier complexion.
FAQ
​
What causes acne?
Acne can be triggered by a combination of factors including clogged pores, excess oil production, inflammation, bacteria, hormones, stress, diet, and skincare products that don’t support your skin barrier. That’s why the best results come from treating acne based on your specific acne type—not guessing.
​
Do you treat adult acne and hormonal acne?
Yes. Adult acne and hormonal acne are extremely common—especially breakouts along the chin and jawline. We treat acne with a customized plan designed to calm inflammation, clear congestion, and reduce future flare-ups while protecting the skin barrier.
​
How long does it take to clear acne?
Most clients start noticing improvement within 4–12 weeks, depending on acne severity and consistency with treatment + skincare. Acne is rarely a one-appointment fix—real results come from the right plan, done consistently.
​
What acne treatments do you offer at The Phoenix Clinique?
Your treatment plan may include a combination of:
-
Chemical peels to exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve tone
-
DiamondGlow facials to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and refine texture
-
BioRePeel for glow, congestion support, and minimal downtime
-

-
Medical-grade skincare routines to prevent future breakouts and support long-term skin health
We choose your treatment plan based on your acne type, skin sensitivity, and goals.
​
Do chemical peels help acne?
Yes. Professional chemical peels can reduce congestion, help clear clogged pores, and improve texture and post-acne discoloration. They’re one of the best options for acne-prone skin when performed at the proper strength and frequency.
​
Does microneedling help acne scars?
Microneedling can be very effective for acne scarring and uneven texture by stimulating collagen remodeling. If you have active breakouts, we focus on calming inflammation first before moving into scar-focused treatments.
​
What’s the difference between acne scars and acne marks?
Great question—this matters because treatment is different.
-
Acne marks are discoloration (red or brown spots) left after a breakout heals
-
Acne scars are texture changes caused by collagen loss or tethering under the skin
Marks often respond well to peels and skincare, while scars typically require collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling.
​
Can you help with acne on the back or chest?
Yes. Body acne is common and treatable. We can recommend a plan based on the area involved, inflammation level, and skin sensitivity, and guide you on both in-clinic options and homecare support.
​
What should I avoid if I have acne-prone skin?
Common acne triggers include:
-
Over-exfoliating or using too many active products at once
-
Heavy pore-clogging skincare or makeup
-
Picking at blemishes (increases scarring + pigmentation)
-
Skipping SPF (worsens marks and post-acne discoloration)
We’ll guide you toward a routine that treats acne while keeping the skin barrier healthy.
​
Do I need a consultation first?
If you’re unsure what acne type you have or what treatments are best, a consultation is the fastest way to get a personalized plan. We’ll assess your skin, discuss your history and current routine, and recommend the most effective approach for your goals.
