If you are searching for personalized solutions to deal with persistent breakouts, there is great news! There are treatments a dermatologist can offer that actually work.

So, are fast and effective acne treatments for same-day relief possible? Here’s what you need to know.

First, Let’s Be Clear About How Quickly You Can Get Rid of Acne

Depending on the severity of your skin condition, it can take four to six weeks to see significant improvement. So, fast and effective acne treatments for same-day relief aren’t very realistic.

However, for mild to moderate acne, you may see improvement from treatments such as a cortisone shot within about 24 hours. Keep in mind, it may take a combination of therapies to achieve clear skin.

A same-day visit with a board-certified dermatologist is almost always possible so you don’t have to delay finding relief!

While Fast and Effective Acne Treatments for Same-Day Relief May Not Give You Immediate Results, You Can Experience Symptom Improvement Soon With These Options

  • Chemical peels: Available at different depths including light, medium, and deep, a chemical peel involves applying a special solution to your skin that exfoliates it to remove dead cells and debris from clogged pores. The process improves skin texture and reduces blemishes over time.
  • Facials: Professional-grade facials can be customized to deeply cleanse your skin, removing dirt, oil, and impurities. Regular facials can be a wonderful asset to your skincare routine and reduce acne flare-ups by calming inflammation and promoting healthier skin.
  • Light therapy (blue/red): Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, while red light helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This combination therapy can significantly improve acne and prevent future breakouts.
  • Microneedling: During this procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production. Microneedling reduces acne and scarring, and it improves the overall appearance of the skin.
