They can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment to get rid of acne. The main dermatological procedures are:

Procedural treatments are therapies performed by a dermatologist, health care practitioner, or esthetician. They are used in the treatment of mild to severe acne, depending on the treatment. Procedural therapies are meant to be supportive and used in conjunction with topical and/or systemic treatments.

Comedo extractions - Often performed by estheticians during a facial, comedo extractions involve gently coaxing plugs of sebum and cellular debris from the pore. By removing blackheads, milia, and soft closed comedones the overall number of breakouts can be reduced.

Microdermabrasion– A machine is used to spray fine crystals that exfoliate the skin deeply and loosen blockages in the pore. It is suitable for non-inflamed acne and is done in the dermatologist’s clinic.

Phototherapy– Utilizes laser to destroy P. acnes, the bacteria present in sebum, or to shrink the oil glands. It is done by a dermatologist and involves different kinds of light depending on the type of acne.

Light chemical peels– Chemical peels made from exfoliating agents like glycolic acid are used to exfoliate the skin deeply, so that dead cells are removed and the pores are cleared.

Corticosteroid injections– Dermatologists inject corticosteroid into cysts, to reduce inflammation and diminish the chances of scarring. These injections also allow speedy healing of serious lesions.
