If you’re searching for advanced acne treatments in San Diego that do more than mask symptoms, keep reading. We’ll walk you through the most effective treatments, how they work, and what makes our holistic approach different.
Understanding the Root Causes of Acne
Acne is typically caused by clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. But the real root often runs deeper. Hormonal imbalances, stress, diet, gut health, and environmental toxins can all contribute to breakouts.
Unlike many traditional acne clinics that treat only the visible signs, Daily Glow Spa takes a comprehensive view of the body. Dr. Nguyen evaluates lifestyle, underlying health conditions, and skin health to create a strategy that treats acne from the inside out.
Top Advanced Acne Treatments We Offer in San Diego
1. AviClear™ Acne Laser Therapy
As one of the few spas in San Diego offering AviClear, we’re excited to provide a FDA-cleared laser treatment that targets the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for oil production. By reducing sebum output, AviClear addresses acne at its source.
- Non-invasive
- Safe for all skin tones
- Requires no downtime
- Improves skin texture over time
2. Chemical Peels for Acne and Scarring
Our medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, helping clear clogged pores and diminish acne scars.
We offer:
- Salicylic acid peels for oily and acne-prone skin
- TCA peels for post-acne pigmentation
- Jessner peels for cystic and inflammatory acne
Results can be seen after just a few sessions, with minimal downtime.
3. Acne-Focused Microneedling
Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production. When combined with acne-fighting serums or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), this treatment improves acne scars, skin texture, and pigmentation.
This is ideal for those with:
- Ice-pick scars
- Boxcar scars
- Enlarged pores
- Dull skin tone from post-acne inflammation
4. LED Light Therapy
We use blue light to kill acne-causing bacteria and red light to calm inflammation. LED therapy is painless, effective, and especially useful for clients with sensitive skin or active breakouts.
Recommended as an add-on or standalone therapy, it’s suitable for all skin types and safe for regular use.
5. Customized Medical-Grade Skincare Plans
Unlike over-the-counter products, our medical-grade skincare solutions are clinically tested and physician-approved. Dr. Nguyen builds a custom plan using active ingredients such as:
- Retinoids for cell turnover
- Azelaic acid for inflammation
- Benzoyl peroxide for bacteria control
- Niacinamide for calming redness
These regimens are adjusted monthly based on your skin’s progress.
Why Daily Glow Spa is Different
Many acne treatments fail because they focus only on symptoms. At Daily Glow Spa, we understand acne can be the result of internal imbalances, including hormonal shifts, gut health issues, or even environmental stressors.
We support your healing through:
- Holistic consultation with Dr. Nguyen
- Functional assessments to identify triggers
- Lifestyle and nutritional guidance
- Clean, evidence-based ingredients and technologies
We don’t just target pimples—we restore skin health and balance from within.
Acne Treatment for All Ages and Skin Types
Acne doesn’t just affect teenagers. Many adults struggle with hormonal acne, maskne, or acne caused by stress and medication. Our treatments are safe and effective for:
- Teens: We guide them through skincare education and gentle treatments.
- Adults: We address hormonal and lifestyle triggers with precision.
- All skin tones: Our devices and products are tested to be safe for melanin-rich skin, preventing hyperpigmentation or irritation.

We take the time to educate you, answer questions, and ensure you feel empowered to care for your skin long-term.
Common Questions About Acne Treatments
How long before I see results?
While some treatments offer visible changes after one session, most clients notice dramatic improvement within 4–8 weeks, especially with a full regimen that includes at-home care.
Can I combine multiple treatments?
Yes. In fact, many of our clients get the best results from combining AviClear, chemical peels, and skincare to tackle acne from multiple angles.
