Acne can leave behind more than memories. Stubborn scars and lingering redness often continue long after breakouts fade. If you have tried creams and at-home remedies without success, medical-grade facials may offer the solution. Clinical facials go beyond relaxation to target skin concerns with proven science.

At Chesapeake Vein Center & MedSpa, board-certified vein specialist and surgeon Dr. Surya Challa leads a practice that combines advanced medical expertise with aesthetics. Accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), Dr. Challa is highly experienced in medical skin treatments that restore confidence while improving overall skin health. 

How Clinical Facials Improve Acne Scars

Acne scars can vary in depth, color, and texture. Clinical facials, especially Environ® treatments, are designed to penetrate deeper than standard spa facials. By encouraging skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, these facials help smooth uneven areas and soften visible scars. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, professional treatments like facials can significantly reduce the appearance of post-acne marks.

Reducing Redness With Medical-Grade Care

Persistent redness often comes from inflamed skin or broken capillaries. Clinical facials utilize targeted ingredients to soothe irritation and fortify the skin’s barrier. Treatments may also include light therapy or serums rich in antioxidants to reduce visible redness. With regular sessions, many patients notice a more even skin tone and fewer flare-ups.

Benefits of Clinical Facials for Problem Skin

Customized facials offer multiple benefits for reducing acne scars and alleviating redness. Patients can expect improvements through:

  • Collagen stimulation: Supports smoother texture and minimizes scar depth.
  • Pigment correction: Reduces discoloration left behind by past breakouts.
  • Skin hydration: Restores balance to prevent dryness or irritation.
  • Reduced inflammation: Calms redness and strengthens skin resilience.

Each session works cumulatively, meaning results improve over time with consistent care.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your facial begins with a detailed skin analysis to identify your main concerns. From there, a custom plan is created using Environ® products and proven medical techniques. Most sessions last about an hour, and patients typically see brighter, smoother skin immediately. Mild redness may appear but usually fades within a day, leaving a natural glow in its wake.
