Our advanced BBL (BroadBand Light) treatment uses powerful light energy to target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The specialized light technology effectively destroys acne-causing bacteria, reduces redness and inflammation, and stimulates the body's natural healing process for clearer, healthier skin with minimal downtime.
Our gentle, non-ablative ClearSilk laser treatment delivers targeted heat beneath the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production while reducing acne, inflammation, and redness. This comfortable "lunchtime treatment" requires no downtime and is safe for all skin types, providing progressive improvement with each session for a clearer, more vibrant complexion.
Non-invasive blue light technology targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin's surface, while red light promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production for faster recovery.
Our expert providers create a custom treatment plan combining advanced laser technologies to address acne scarring. Depending on your specific scar type, we utilize BBL or ClearSilk for redness, and Halo, Profractional or Contour TRL Laser treatments for texture improvements, creating smoother, clearer skin with lasting results.

Get a deeper-level analysis of your skin with our proprietary SOM Skin Scan. Advanced VISIA imaging technology helps us provide you with a truly customized treatment plans based on your unique skin profile.
All treatments are overseen by Dr. Saami, our double board-certified dermatologist who combines training from Harvard and Johns Hopkins with years of clinical experience in treating even the most challenging acne cases.
Regardless of your age or skin type, your acne treatment will safely meet your unique needs with protocols specifically calibrated to address all types of acne without causing irritation or dark spots.
Begin with a thorough 45-minute consultation where we'll assess your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. Our SOM Skin Scan will visualize beneath the surface of your skin to identify the root causes of your acne.
Based on your skin analysis, we'll develop a customized acne treatment plan uniquely designed for your specific skin type and concerns, ensuring the most effective approach for your individual needs.
On treatment day, your practitioner will prepare your skin and apply the appropriate treatments. Most sessions take between 15-45 minutes depending on the area being treated. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to maximize your results.
Most acne protocols involve a series of treatments for optimal results. Your customized plan will outline the recommended number of sessions (typically 4-6) and intervals between treatments to progressively improve skin clarity and prevent future breakouts.
The SOM Method is our unique approach to acne treatment that begins with understanding your complete skin history and concerns before designing a personalized path to clear skin.
We integrate evidence-based dermatological treatments with advanced technologies to deliver measurable improvements in acne conditions while addressing underlying factors that conventional treatments often miss.
Our providers undergo extensive training in acne-specific protocols. We focus on both immediate clearing and long-term prevention, delivering treatments that work with your body's natural healing processes.
Our comprehensive approach doesn't just mask symptoms—it restores your skin by addressing root causes of acne, helping you achieve balanced, healthy skin rather than temporary fixes that lead to recurring cycles of breakouts.
We treat all types of acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, papules, nodules, and cysts. Our comprehensive approach addresses acne on the face, back, chest, and other body areas for patients of all ages.
Most patients require a series of 4-6 treatments for optimal results, though this varies based on your acne severity and skin type. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan outlining the recommended number of sessions for your specific condition.
Our acne treatments are designed with your comfort in mind. BBL treatments include integrated cooling technology for enhanced comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth or brief tingling. For more sensitive areas, we offer additional comfort measures.
Yes! Our treatments are calibrated to safely and effectively treat all skin types and tones. Our providers adjust protocols based on your unique skin characteristics to ensure optimal results without causing hyperpigmentation or other unwanted side effects.
Many patients notice improvements after their first treatment, with redness and inflammation often reducing within days. However, complete clearing typically requires a series of treatments. Most patients see progressive improvement over 2-3 months as their treatment plan unfolds.
Most of our acne treatments involve minimal to no downtime. BBL and ClearSilk treatments allow you to resume normal activities immediately. You may experience mild redness for a few hours after treatment, but this typically resolves quickly.
While topical products work at the surface level, our treatments target acne deep within the skin. BBL technology actually destroys acne-causing bacteria at the source, reduces oil production, and calms inflammation from inside out—addressing all factors that cause acne rather than just managing symptoms.
Pricing varies depending on the treatment options selected, the number of sessions needed, and your unique skin condition. During your SOM consultation, we'll create a customized plan and provide transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
At SOM, we combine dermatologic expertise with advanced technologies for a comprehensive approach to acne. Every treatment is customized to your skin profile and specific concerns. We offer a clinical setting with concierge-level care, ensuring you always receive the highest quality treatment on your journey to clear, confident skin.
