How it works
Understanding your breakouts
Acne develops when follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, with inflammation contributing to red bumps and deeper lesions. Blackheads, whiteheads, and painful nodules call for different care.
A consistent home routine is the foundation. Established treatments include benzoyl peroxide and topical retinoids; a dermatologist can select medication for persistent, painful, or scarring acne. Cosmetic appointments can support selected congestion concerns, but do not replace that medical plan.
At ELLEMES, we review your current products and treatments before discussing facial care or a suitable peel. Once breakouts are controlled, we can consider a separate plan for acne scars and lingering marks.

“I see Christian for microneedling and wouldn’t do it anywhere else. She’s helping me with my acne scarring, and this is the clearest my skin has ever looked! If you’re after an effective treatment, go see Christian.”
“I found Lauren when I wanted to address some old acne scarring. We started with a hydro-facial and moved on to microneedling, and I can see and feel improvements in my skin’s appearance and texture.”
“I’ve seen so many people for acne and scarring for as long as I can remember, and Lauren has been the most helpful in giving me noticeable results — and a plan that makes me believe I’ll finally get the results I want.”
“After just two of my three scheduled microneedling sessions, my skin has been completely transformed. Lauren’s expertise and deep knowledge of corrective skincare are immediately apparent.”
“I’ve been seeing Lauren for Vivace RF microneedling. She has 10+ years of solid experience, tailors each treatment to target problem areas, and is both thorough and knowledgeable.”
“I’ve gotten multiple different lasers for scarring done by Christian, and she is the absolute best! She really invests in you and making sure you’re happy with your skin.”
