Do I need to do anything to prepare for my cystic acne treatment?

The only step we recommend taking before your cortisone injections is to wash your face with gentle cleansers. During your session, we clean your skin to ensure it’s completely free of dirt, makeup, and oil, but washing beforehand helps speed up the process. You can even do this at our clinic, as we provide complimentary, medical-grade cleansers.

Am I a good candidate for a cystic acne treatment?

Arcadia, AZ, has brought us plenty of patients who struggle with cystic acne. There’s no such thing as “too severe” to us, which means you’re an ideal candidate even if you have many cystic blemishes. Even if our cortisone injections aren’t enough to fully treat your skin, we can create a more thorough care plan. Beyond cortisone injections, we may include specialized chemical peels that help eliminate acne-causing bacteria. In addition, these peels can reduce current breakouts by removing the topmost layers of damaged skin.

When should I come in for cortisone injections?

If you’ve tried treating cystic acne at home but found no success, we recommend scheduling an appointment with us as soon as possible. Treating your current cysts can help us craft a care routine that prioritizes defending against future breakouts. When it comes to cystic acne treatment, Arcadia, AZ’s Look Lab is your destination for trustworthy, medical-grade skin care.

The Med Spa and Kennedy came highly recommended by my close friend. When I arrived the reception was very welcoming. The Spa decor is chic & soothing. Kennedy clearly is a professional at her craft, she really listened to my needs and made recommendations and explained everything in great detail. I immediately felt comfortable with Kennedy. We aligned on my goals and came up with a plan. I’m very excited & happy with how well everything went. This was visit #1 of what I feel will be a long partnership in my self care.
