Clearer skin starts with the right approach.
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns in the U.S., affecting nearly 50 million Americans each year. At Elite Medi Spa in Bend, Oregon, we treat acne at every stage, from active breakouts to long-term scarring, using medical-grade treatments tailored to your skin, lifestyle, and goals.
Whether you’re struggling with persistent adult acne, oily congested skin, or acne scars that won’t fade, professional care can help you achieve clearer, healthier skin with long-lasting results.
While Elite Medi Spa also offers advanced treatments for acne scarring, this page focuses on treating active acne and preventing future breakouts.
Understanding Acne (And Why It’s Hard to Treat Alone)
Acne isn’t just surface-level. It can involve excess oil production, clogged pores, inflammation, and acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin. Left untreated, breakouts can lead to infections, uneven texture, and permanent scarring.
If over-the-counter products haven’t worked, it’s usually because they can’t reach the deeper layers of the skin where acne starts. That’s where professional treatments come in. We group acne treatments by what they treat and how intensive they are, so it’s easier to find the right fit.
Treatments for Active Acne & Oily Skin
These options focus on calming active breakouts, reducing excess oil, and preventing new acne from forming. They’re ideal for patients dealing with ongoing acne, oily or congested skin, frequent blackheads or whiteheads, or acne flare-ups caused by stress, hormones, or environmental factors. These treatments are especially well-suited for those who want clearer skin with minimal downtime and are looking for a proactive, maintenance-focused approach to acne control.

FAQ
Professional acne treatment does more than clear existing breakouts. In-office treatments help improve overall skin health by reducing inflammation, balancing oil production, and supporting long-term skin renewal. Patients often see a clearer, healthier complexion, fewer future breakouts, improved skin texture and tone, and reduced post-acne marks and discoloration. Many also experience a noticeable boost in confidence as their skin improves.

Yes. You may need to wait before starting acne treatment if you’ve had neurotoxin or dermal filler injections within the past 10 days or a chemical peel within the last 30 days. Your provider will review your recent treatments during your consultation.
Absolutely. Acne is not a one-size-fits-all condition. At Elite Medi Spa, treatment plans are customized based on your skin type, acne severity, and goals. Your plan may include a combination of in-office treatments and medical-grade skincare to achieve and maintain long-term results.
