Acne in Washington DC

A Case Study

Transformative Acne Treatment Results at Derma-Radiance & Wellness

A high school student visiting from Washington DC sought our help for severe acne and acne scarring. Three months ago, his initial “before” photo showed multiple inflamed breakouts and visible marks. After a custom plan of acne facial treatments and a medical-grade home routine, results were visible in as little as two to three weeks. By three months, both he and his family praised the improvement—“so much better.” He’s now scheduled for microneedling for mild scarring and continues his home care regimen.

A Young Man’s 3-Month Acne Journey

From Frustration to Confidence

The dramatic transformation above shows just how life-changing and uplifting expert acne care can be. This young man traveled from Washington DC to visit Derma-Radiance & Wellness, seeking a solution to persistent acne and acne scarring that affected both his appearance and self-esteem. The “Before” image was taken three months prior to the “After”—a span marked by meaningful progress and renewed confidence.

Treatment Goals: Clearer Skin and Faded Scars

His main goals were to clear active breakouts and minimize the appearance of stubborn acne scars that had developed over time. Serki, our outstanding acne specialist, designed a completely individualized plan of care. This involved a series of targeted acne facial treatments, expertly chosen for his skin type, alongside a regimen of medical-grade acne skincare products for him to use at home.

Fast-Tracked Progress and Visible Results

Within just two to three weeks, he noticed real changes—less irritation, fewer breakouts, and skin that simply felt healthier. By the end of his third month, the visible scarring had faded dramatically and his complexion appeared balanced, smooth, and clear. Both he and his family were thrilled, expressing how much better he felt and looked.

Ongoing Support and Lasting Care

To maintain and further enhance these results, he’ll continue using our recommended medical-grade products at home and will schedule future microneedling procedures to further address any residual scarring. This ongoing support is a cornerstone of the Derma-Radiance & Wellness promise: real, lasting care for every step of your journey.

"I had the absolute best experience at Derma Radiance & Wellness! Serkie was incredible—she walked me through every step of the process and checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable. I initially went in for microneedling to treat dark spots, and after a thorough consultation, Serki also recommended an acne peel. My skin hasn’t felt this good in years, and thanks to her, I’m rebuilding my confidence as I head into the new school year. I truly can’t recommend Derma Radiance & Wellness enough!"
