A Smarter, Root-Cause Approach to Clear Skin

Acne can affect more than just your skin. At Summit Med Spa, we take it seriously and treat it thoroughly. Whether you’re just beginning to explore treatment or have already tried countless over-the-counter solutions, our medical team provides a plan that focuses on results, safety, and long-term clarity. 

Led by our nurse practitioner and physician, your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, which may include blood work if necessary. From there, we create a plan tailored to your skin and health history. We prescribe oral medications such as isotretinoin or doxycycline when appropriate and help guide you through every step of the process. 

If you’ve already used acne medication in the past, we can assess whether restarting makes sense. No matter your starting point, we’re here to help you get answers and feel confident moving forward. Schedule your consultation today and begin your journey to clear, healthy skin.

More Than Surface-Level Treatment

What Is Acne Treatment?

Acne treatment at Summit Med Spa is a physician-directed plan designed to address both visible breakouts and the underlying internal factors that contribute to them. Whether you’re dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, cystic acne, or scarring, we focus on both the symptoms and the root causes. 

We begin with a full consultation and may include blood work to explore potential hormonal or systemic imbalances. Based on your needs, our providers may recommend prescription treatments, such as isotretinoin or doxycycline. If you’ve already used these medications before, we will evaluate your history to determine the next steps safely. 

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each treatment plan is developed in collaboration with our nurse practitioner and physician to deliver lasting results through personalized medical care.

Comprehensive Treatment, Thoughtfully Applied

How Acne Treatment Works

The process begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we learn about your acne history, health background, and lifestyle. We may recommend blood work to understand better internal contributors, such as hormonal imbalances or inflammation. These insights help shape the treatment plan that’s right for you. 

Prescription medications are then considered. Isotretinoin is typically used for severe or treatment-resistant acne. It works by reducing oil production, calming inflammation, and preventing clogged pores. For moderate to persistent cases, doxycycline is often prescribed. It targets bacteria and inflammation within the skin. 

For new patients, we follow evidence-based protocols to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you’ve been on acne medication before, you may qualify to begin treatment more quickly. Your plan is adjusted over time based on your results and how your skin responds. Care is overseen by both a nurse practitioner and a medical doctor who is dedicated to your progress and comfort.

If your acne has not improved with over-the-counter products, or if it is painful, scarring, or affecting your confidence, prescription treatment may be appropriate. We’ll assess your condition during a consultation.

What’s the difference between isotretinoin and doxycycline?
