If over-the-counter products haven't cleared your skin, a physician-supervised approach addresses what they can't. Modern Wellness Clinic offers medical acne treatment in Summerlin, Las Vegas.
The majority of over-the-counter acne products work by killing surface bacteria or gently exfoliating dead skin cells. Both are reasonable strategies for mild, infrequent breakouts. They fall short for persistent acne because they don’t address the sebaceous gland activity driven by androgens, the inflammatory cascade that converts a clogged pore into a painful cyst, the bacterial strains that have developed resistance to common topical antibiotics, or the hormonal fluctuations — particularly in women — that make acne cyclical and predictable.
At Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas, we evaluate acne as the medical condition it is. For patients with moderate-to-severe or persistent acne, that means prescription-strength topicals and oral medications. For patients whose acne is hormonally driven, it means evaluating and addressing the hormonal root alongside the skin treatment. For patients with post-acne scarring, it means tissue repair with PRP and microneedling after the active acne is controlled.
Prescription topical treatments — including tretinoin, clindamycin, azelaic acid, and combination formulas — deliver significantly higher efficacy than OTC alternatives because the active concentrations and penetration depth are clinically calibrated. Your provider will prescribe the right combination based on your acne type, skin tone, and sensitivity profile.
Oral antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline) reduce inflammatory acne by targeting the bacteria responsible for inflammatory lesions and modulating the inflammatory response directly. They’re used when topicals alone are insufficient and are typically cycled to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Hormonal evaluation and management is one of the most underutilized tools in acne care. Women with cyclical acne, acne along the jawline and chin, or acne that worsened after coming off hormonal contraception frequently have a hormonal driver that no topical treatment will address without hormonal intervention. At Modern Wellness Clinic, we evaluate testosterone, DHEA-S, and other relevant markers for these patients and discuss appropriate options.
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels support acne management by improving skin cell turnover, unclogging pores, and reducing the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that often lingers after acne clears. Learn more on our microdermabrasion page.
PRP facial treatments are used for acne scarring — after the active acne is under control — to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve the texture and appearance of residual scarring. Learn more on our PRP therapy page.

Adult acne is increasingly common — and more likely to have a hormonal or stress-related driver than teenage acne. The skin is also different in adults: more prone to sensitivity, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and the concurrent signs of aging that make harsh acne treatments counterproductive. At Modern Wellness Clinic, adult acne treatment is calibrated to both clear the skin and support healthy skin aging simultaneously.
