Our Acne Treatments
Forever Clear BBL (BroadBand Light)
BBL uses precise pulses of light energy to target the bacteria that cause breakouts, shrink oil glands, and calm inflammation, all without downtime. It's one of the most effective in-office options for persistent acne, rosacea, and active flare-ups. Most clients complete a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with visible improvement building over time. After treatment, some redness is normal and typically fades within a few hours.
Acne Cortisone Shots
Need relief fast? An acne cortisone shot — also called an intralesional corticosteroid injection — is a quick, targeted treatment for inflamed, cystic, or nodular breakouts. Your provider injects a small amount of diluted cortisone directly into the blemish, reducing swelling and redness within 24 to 48 hours. It's an excellent option for flare-ups before an event or for isolated lesions that aren't responding to topical treatments.
DermaSound Ultimate Acne Treatment
The DermaSound Ultimate Acne Treatment facial uses ultrasonic technology to deeply cleanse pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, and infuse skin with targeted serums without any abrasion or irritation. It's a gentle yet highly effective option for acne-prone skin, helping to decongest pores and reduce the buildup that contributes to breakouts. With no downtime and a calming experience, it pairs well with other acne treatments as part of a complete care plan.
What to Expect
Your provider will recommend the right combination of treatments based on your skin, your concerns, and your schedule. Some clients benefit from a single treatment type; others see the best results with a layered approach. We’ll check in with you throughout the process, adjusting as needed to keep your skin moving in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Forever Clear BBL is an advanced light therapy that treats acne at the source. It uses pulses of light to target the bacteria that cause breakouts, calm redness, and reduce inflammation.
The treatment is quick, gentle, and noninvasive. We use Forever Clear BBL as a laser treatment for acne in Royal Oak, MI, to provide relief for our clients.
While often compared to lasers and called a laser, BBL isn’t technically a laser. Instead, it uses light energy to reach the layers of skin where acne starts. The light targets bacteria, destroying it to reduce breakouts, calm inflammation, shrink oil glands, and encourage healing.
Most clients find laser treatments for acne very tolerable. You may feel a quick, warm sensation or a light snap against the skin as the light pulses. The treatment is gentle and noninvasive; many clients compare it to feeling a warm flash of light. Any discomfort is mild and fades.
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on the severity of your breakouts. Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 sessions of our laser treatment for acne in Royal Oak, MI. After your initial series, you may need to schedule occasional maintenance sessions to help keep your skin clear and balanced.
Some clients notice their skin looks calmer and less red within the first week. Breakouts start to improve after a few treatments, with clearer, smoother skin becoming more noticeable over the next several weeks. Because BBL works with your skin’s natural healing process, results continue to build over time.
Forever Clear BBL helps destroy acne-causing bacteria and calm active breakouts, but it doesn’t stop new acne from forming in the future. Most clients enjoy clearer skin for months after a series of treatments, especially with a good skincare regimen and maintenance sessions.
An acne cortisone shot is an in-office injection of diluted corticosteroid delivered directly into an inflamed blemish. It works by rapidly reducing swelling, redness, and pain in the treated area. Most clients see noticeable improvement within 24 to 48 hours. It’s ideal for cystic or nodular acne: the deep, painful kind that doesn’t come to a head on its own.
No. Cortisone injections are specifically for active, inflamed lesions. They’re not a cosmetic injectable and don’t change the structure of the skin. They’re a targeted, fast-acting treatment for a specific breakout.
DermaSound uses ultrasonic sound waves to exfoliate the skin’s surface and deep-clean pores without abrasion or heat. It’s particularly well-suited for acne-prone and sensitive skin because it clears congestion and removes dead skin cells without triggering irritation. We can pair it with serums chosen for your skin type to support healing and hydration.
Unlike traditional facials or dermaplaning, DermaSound uses sound wave technology rather than physical scraping or manual extraction. This makes it a gentler option for those who find mechanical exfoliation too harsh for compromised skin barriers, while still delivering thorough cleansing and resurfacing results.
Yes! In fact, combining treatments is often the most effective approach. For example, a cortisone shot can address an acute breakout while a series of BBL treatments manages ongoing acne at the source, and DermaSound facials help maintain clear, healthy skin between sessions. Your provider will create a customized plan based on what your skin needs most right now.
