At SOM Aesthetics, our expert providers offer a comprehensive range of acne treatments combining advanced technology, medical-grade skincare, and personalized protocols. From cutting-edge light and laser therapies to chemical peels and specialized skincare regimens, each treatment is customized to address your specific concerns with precision and effectiveness.
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.

Our dermatology experts will assess your unique needs and create a personalized treatment plan that may include topical or oral medications, including Accutane, to target the root causes of your acne and prevent future breakouts.

The Som Method
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.
