The Acne Reset Protocol: Why We Never Treat Acne with One Device
Active acne has three simultaneous drivers: excess sebum, bacterial colonization, and inflammation. Treating only one of them produces partial results. Here is how we address all three at once.

The Problem with Single-Device Acne Treatment
Active acne is driven by three simultaneous processes: excess sebum production, Cutibacterium acnes colonization, and chronic low-grade inflammation. An effective protocol must address all three — and that requires combining modalities that work at different biological levels.
Component 1: Medical Management (Inside)
Every patient in our Acne Reset Protocol begins with a physician-directed medical assessment. Depending on severity, this may include topical retinoids, topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics, or hormonal management. Medical management addresses the systemic and hormonal drivers that no device can reach.
Component 2: DPL Photofacial (Bacterial + Inflammatory)
Dynamic Pulsed Light therapy targets two acne drivers simultaneously. The 415nm blue light wavelength destroys C. acnes bacteria. The 560nm yellow-green wavelength reduces vascular inflammation, calming the redness and swelling associated with active inflammatory lesions.
Component 3: RF Microneedling (Sebaceous Gland Remodeling)
RF Microneedling delivers bipolar RF energy at the depth of the sebaceous glands, selectively reducing gland activity and addressing the sebum overproduction that drives acne at its source. Simultaneously, the collagen remodeling prevents the formation of atrophic acne scars.
Component 4: SkinCeuticals Medical-Grade Skincare
The protocol is supported by a physician-selected SkinCeuticals regimen including Blemish + Age Defense, Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50, and Phyto Corrective Gel.
