Acne Treatment in Burlington
At Burlington Plastic Surgery, we understand that acne is more than a surface-level concern — it’s a condition that affects both appearance and self-confidence. Our medical acne treatments target the underlying causes of breakouts, including excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria, to promote clearer, more balanced skin.
Using advanced technologies such as blue light therapy, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare, our team creates a customized plan that addresses your specific type of acne and skin sensitivity — all under the supervision of experienced medical professionals.
Who this is for
Ideal for teens and adults experiencing persistent acne, hormonal breakouts, or acne-prone skin that hasn’t responded to over-the-counter products. Whether you struggle with inflammatory acne, clogged pores, or lingering redness from past breakouts, our treatments are designed to clarify and strengthen your skin from within.
What to expect
Your treatment journey begins with a professional skin assessment to determine the best course of action for your unique skin type and acne severity. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a series of in-clinic treatments alongside a customized home-care regimen. Most patients notice clearer, smoother skin after several sessions, with ongoing care focused on preventing future breakouts and improving skin texture over time.
BREAKOUTS, OIL, AND PERSISTENT REDNESS
Our acne treatments combine medical expertise with advanced technology to control breakouts, fade marks, and restore balance. Whether your concern is active acne or lingering post-acne redness, we create a treatment plan designed to help you achieve lasting clarity and confidence.
Our tailored acne programs do more than calm breakouts — they help you rediscover confidence in your skin. With every session, inflammation decreases, pores refine, and your complexion looks smoother and more even.
No two cases of acne are the same. Your treatment plan is fully customized to your skin’s unique triggers and sensitivities, ensuring visible, long-term improvement without irritation or dryness.

"After meeting her, I felt so calm and confident..."
Dr. Shih is the best! I was so anxious leading up to my appointment but after meeting her, I felt so calm and confident that I went to the right place. She immediately put me at ease, explained my situation and options, and answered all of my questions.
The surgery was a success, and I have my life back! The recovery was quick, I have almost no scarring, and full function back. She is truly gifted and I am so grateful. Her office was really nice, and the staff were lovely. All of the appointments were on time, and did not take a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Shih!
"Exactly what I was hoping for!"
I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Shih, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation, Dr. Shih's expertise and attention to detail put me at ease.
Dr. Shih and her assistant, Andrea, took the time to understand my goals and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are just fantastic—exactly what I was hoping for! Both Dr. Shih and Andrea were incredibly supportive and responsive at every step. They made the entire experience feel personal and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Shih for anyone considering this procedure!
"She changed my life!"
I am so grateful for Dr. Shih - she changed my life! Throughout the whole process from my first consultation, to the surgery, and the follow up care after the surgery, she was so warm, relaxed and reassuring.

Here are the most common questions we hear about Acne Treatments in Burlington
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, and certain skincare or cosmetic products can all contribute to breakouts. Understanding the root cause helps us create a targeted treatment plan.
We combine medical-grade skincare, professional exfoliation, and light-based therapies to reduce inflammation, clear pores, and prevent new breakouts. Every plan is customized to your skin type and severity to deliver safe, visible results.
Depending on your skin’s needs, your plan may include blue light therapy, chemical peels, medical facials, and prescription-grade skincare. These therapies work together to reduce oil production, kill acne-causing bacteria, and promote healthier skin.
Yes. All treatments are carefully adjusted for your skin type and tolerance level. We focus on balancing and strengthening the skin barrier to ensure comfort while achieving results.
While improvements may be seen after the first few sessions, most patients notice significant, lasting changes within 4–6 treatments combined with consistent home care. Dr. Shih will outline a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Yes. Many of our treatments help improve post-acne pigmentation and texture irregularities. For more advanced scarring, we may recommend complementary procedures such as laser resurfacing or microneedling for enhanced results.
Most acne treatments require little to no downtime. Mild redness or flaking may occur temporarily but typically subsides within a few hours to a day. You can return to normal activities immediately.
Acne is a chronic condition, so maintenance is key. With ongoing professional care, the right skincare regimen, and healthy lifestyle habits, you can keep your skin clear and minimize future breakouts long term.
While OTC products can help mild cases, they often lack the strength or customization needed for persistent or hormonal acne. Medical-grade treatments address deeper causes and deliver faster, more predictable results.
