Overview

What Is the ClearSkin Acne Protocol?

At The Piazza Center, the ClearSkin Acne Protocol combines several proven in-office treatments — HydraFacial, blue light and laser therapy, manual extractions, and chemical peels — into a curated program built around your skin. Active acne rarely responds to a single treatment alone, so our team pairs these modalities together over a multi-month protocol designed to calm breakouts, reduce inflammation, and leave skin clearer and healthier.

Treatments Involved

A multi-pronged
approach to acne.

Taking on active acne requires more than one tool. Each ClearSkin protocol draws from the following treatments, combined and sequenced to fit the severity of your breakouts.

  1. 01

    HydraFacial

    A multi-step treatment combining gentle exfoliation, painless pore extraction, and nourishing serums to hydrate and calm the skin.

  2. 02

    Blue Light Therapy

    Targets the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.

  3. 03

    Laser Therapy

    Targets acne-causing bacteria, shrinks oil glands, and reduces inflammation — addressing both active blemishes and the scarring they can leave behind.

  4. 04

    Extractions

    Manual removal of clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads to clear the skin’s surface.

  5. 05

    Chemical Peels

    Exfoliates the outermost layers of skin, unclogging pores and reducing inflammation at its source.

Protocol Options

Built Around Your Acne’s Severity

01

Best For Mild Acne

3-Month Protocol

Monthly sessions pairing a Premium HydraFacial with Blue Light LED for bacterial reduction, manual extractions, and a SkinBetter chemical peel.

No downtime.

02

Best For Mild-to-Moderate Acne

6-Month Protocol

Three ClearSkin Acne Facials alternated with three VI Peel treatments across six months, for deeper correction than the 3-month protocol alone.

03

Best For Aggressive Acne With Cysts

6-Month Advanced Protocol

Three ClearSkin Acne Facials alternated with three BBL Forever Clear laser treatments, plus one VI Peel, for more resistant cystic acne.

protocol online.

Results

What to Expect From Your Results

Because each protocol is tailored to your skin, results build gradually across your sessions as inflammation calms, active breakouts clear, and skin tone evens out.

Maintaining a consistent at-home skincare routine between visits, as recommended by our team, helps preserve your results after your protocol is complete.
