Acne treatment at Neoderma in Anaheim starts by sorting what you have: active breakouts, cysts, flat red or brown marks, or indented scars. Breakouts are calmed first with a medical-grade home regimen, the $225 Anti-Acne Facial, the Vi Peel and Kenalog injections for cysts. Scars come next, with Secret RF microneedling at $1,500 a session, over a series.

Does this sound familiar?
If you have dealt with acne for a while, at least one of these is probably yours. Here is how Neoderma approaches each.
“Nothing from the drugstore has worked.”
Neoderma's plans start with your skin rather than a product shelf. A 3D skin analysis guides a medical-grade home regimen from lines that are often sold only through practices like Neoderma, and in-office treatment helps calm breakouts faster.
“I've had these scars for years.”
With indented scars, the type of scar matters most. Rolling scars generally reward treatment the most, boxcar scars improve (the deepest are the most stubborn), and icepick scars resist the most. Neoderma would rather tell you that at the consultation than promise more than skin can deliver.
“I can't tell what I'm looking at.”
That's the right place to start. A lot of what people call acne scarring is flat discoloration that fades with time and sunscreen, so sorting marks from true scars first keeps you from paying for collagen work you don't need.
Is it a breakout, a mark or a scar?
A lot of what looks like acne scarring is really flat discoloration from a healed breakout, and it needs different care from a true, indented scar. Sorting one from the other comes first, and it can save you from paying for the wrong treatment.
Active acne
Breakouts
A pore plugged with oil, bacteria and dead skin, with inflammation around it. Breakouts don't stop at puberty.
Matched at NeodermaFacials, Vi Peel, LED therapy, Kenalog injections for cysts and a home regimen
Flat mark
Red marks (PIE)
A flat pink or red spot where a pimple healed. The surface stays level: it is leftover widened capillaries, not lost tissue, so it isn't a true scar.
Matched at NeodermaTime and daily SPF first, then gentle resurfacing and calming facials
Flat mark
Brown marks (PIH)
A flat brown or tan spot: extra pigment laid down during the inflammation. It is more common, and slower to fade, on deeper skin tones.
Matched at NeodermaPicoWay Resolve, Vi Peel and pigment-regulating skin care
Indented scar
Rolling scars
Broad, shallow, wave-like dips with soft edges, tethered to the tissue below, so the cheek looks undulating rather than pitted.
Matched at NeodermaSecret RF microneedling, the strongest match
Indented scar
Boxcar scars
Wider dips with steep, defined sides and a flat floor, like a small crater.
Matched at NeodermaSecret RF microneedling plus resurfacing; the deepest ones are stubborn
Indented scar
Icepick scars
Narrow, deep pinpoint pits, as if the skin had been pricked with a fine tool.
Matched at NeodermaThe most resistant type: usually a combination or referral-level technique, assessed in person
A 30-second check at home: stand at a mirror with one light source off to the side, such as a window or a lamp, and turn your face slowly. Flat marks fade from view as the angle changes; indented scars throw small shadows. How to tell acne scar types apart
What helps active breakouts?
At Neoderma, most of the work on breakouts happens at home, with a medical-grade regimen from SkinBetter Science or ZO Skin Health, chosen after a 3D skin analysis. In-office treatment helps calm things down faster.
- Medical-grade skin care at home. A SkinBetter Science or ZO Skin Health regimen, matched to your skin.
- Anti-Acne Facial, $225. A deep clean for congested skin, with extractions, a calming clay tea-tree mask and blue-light LED.
- DiamondGlow, $215. A medical-grade facial that exfoliates, lifts out congestion and infuses clarifying serums.
- Vi Peel, for face and back acne. The Purify tier ($375) is made for acne-prone, oily skin.
- LED therapy. Blue light against the bacteria behind acne, red light for collagen.
- Kenalog injections for cystic acne, from $100. A cortisone shot that calms an inflamed cyst, often within 24 to 48 hours.
What helps acne scars?
Indented scars are missing collagen, so they need treatment that rebuilds it. Neoderma matches the treatment to the scar:
- Secret RF microneedling, $1,500 a session. Radiofrequency through fine needles remodels collagen at the floor of the scar: the closest match for rolling scars, paired with resurfacing for boxcar scars.
- Exceed microneedling, $425 a session. For milder texture and early scarring.
- PicoWay laser, $200–$600 a session. Takes on the discoloration acne leaves behind, and softens scars.
- Carboxytherapy. Tiny injections of medical-grade carbon dioxide, used to improve acne scar tissue over a series.
Expect a series, with the bigger change in indented scars showing two to six months after it. The realistic goal is meaningful improvement (softer, shallower, more even scars), not perfectly smooth skin.
Why do many acne plans combine treatments?
Because acne rarely leaves just one thing behind. Breakouts, marks and scars can share the same face, and most people have a mix of scar types. Neoderma offers combination therapy, pairing treatments in one plan:
Secret RF + PicoWay
Used in sequence: Secret RF rebuilds collagen in indented scars, and PicoWay takes on color and overall texture.
Secret RF or Exceed, or both
Your provider matches you to one microneedling device or to a combination of the two.
Secret RF + LED therapy
Each Secret RF session is finished with LED therapy, to calm the skin and help it recover faster.
In-office care + home regimen
Treatments reset the skin, and a medical-grade daily regimen keeps building on them between visits.
Order matters: active acne is calmed first and scars come after, because every new inflamed spot can leave a fresh mark or scar. Why scar treatment waits for active acne
What does acne treatment cost in Orange County?
Neoderma publishes its prices, so you can plan before you book. Your own plan comes as a transparent estimate before any treatment.
Before you book: what people ask about acne treatment
Six short answers, each linked to the page that covers it in full.
Do you treat cystic acne?
Yes, with Kenalog injections: a cortisone shot into an inflamed cyst that calms it and flattens it, often within 24 to 48 hours. Injections start at $100.
Do you treat back acne?
Yes. Neoderma uses the Vi Peel on back acne as well as on the face, and back pricing is part of your estimate at the consultation.
Are red or brown acne marks scars?
Usually not: flat red and brown marks are discoloration, with no lost collagen underneath. Both often fade on their own over months with daily sunscreen.
What works for rolling and boxcar scars?
Secret RF microneedling is Neoderma's core treatment for both, remodeling collagen at the floor of the scar over a series. Boxcar scars often add a resurfacing treatment.
What does acne treatment cost?
The Anti-Acne Facial is $225 and Kenalog injections start at $100; for scars, Secret RF is $1,500 a session and Exceed $425. You can spread the cost with Cherry or CareCredit financing.
Is the consultation free?
No. The consultation is $50, credited toward treatment if you proceed within two weeks of the consultation. You get a transparent estimate before any treatment.
