Acne doesn’t just affect teenagers—it impacts people of all ages, skin types, and lifestyles. At Kucumber Skin Lounge, we take a personalized, whole-skin approach to treating acne, focusing not only on clearing active breakouts but also restoring long-term skin health. With expert treatment specialists in Seattle, Bellevue, and Bellingham, we tailor every acne solution to your skin’s unique needs.
Acne is a common skin condition caused by clogged pores, bacteria, oil buildup, and inflammation. While it's often thought of as a teenage problem, adult acne is just as real—and just as frustrating. At Kucumber Skin Lounge, we focus on targeted, medical-grade acne treatments that treat both the symptoms and root causes of acne.
Our approach combines proven therapies like chemical peels, medical facials, and advanced laser technology to help you get clear skin without the trial-and-error guesswork. From mild congestion to deep, painful cystic breakouts, we develop a plan that supports skin healing, controls future flare-ups, and helps you feel confident again.
Once active breakouts subside, many people are left with lingering reminders—pitted scarring, pigmentation, or uneven texture. Treatments like Microneedling, Morpheus8, Laser Skin Resurfacing, and VI Peels can help remodel damaged skin and fade dark spots. Learn more about Microneedling or Laser Resurfacing for acne scars.
Managing ongoing breakouts means calming inflammation, killing acne-causing bacteria, and balancing oil production. Treatments like our HydraFacial, Chemical Peels, and Medical-Grade Skincare deliver deep exfoliation and hydration while clearing clogged pores. For more stubborn cases, we often combine treatments to stop breakouts in their tracks and prevent future ones. Learn more about HydraFacial.
Bacne is common, especially for athletes, teenagers, or anyone dealing with high sweat and oil buildup. It’s also one of the most overlooked areas of acne care. We treat back acne with a mix of deep-cleansing back facials, LED light therapy, and targeted exfoliating peels to keep pores clear and reduce inflammation. Treatments are fully customizable depending on severity and skin sensitivity.
Blackheads form when oil and dead skin clog pores and oxidize at the surface. While they’re not inflamed like pimples, they still stretch pores and roughen skin texture. Gentle treatments like Dermaplaning, HydraFacials, and salicylic acid peels help dislodge the buildup and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. These treatments can also be used regularly to keep skin smooth and balanced.
Cystic acne is deeper, more painful, and often hormonal. These breakouts form under the surface and don’t always come to a head, making them tough to treat with over-the-counter products. At Kucumber, we combine high-frequency therapies, medical peels, and advanced skin-balancing protocols to calm inflammation and prevent scarring. In some cases, we’ll refer you to prescription options if needed for internal support.
Dry, flaky skin can make acne worse, especially if your skin overproduces oil to make up for the dryness. It’s a common cycle. We use hydrating facials, barrier-repairing masks, and moisturizing peels to restore skin balance and reduce redness without clogging pores. Hydrated skin heals faster, feels better, and is more resistant to breakouts in the long run.
Pores often look larger when they’re clogged, inflamed, or surrounded by oily skin. Treatments like RF Skin Tightening, Resurfacing Lasers, and HydraFacial Extra Strength Pore Cleansing help tighten the look of pores while keeping them clear. With regular treatment, you’ll notice smoother skin texture and a more even glow.
Teen skin is unique—it’s often oily, fast-changing, and sensitive to both hormones and skincare products. We offer teen-safe facials, acne-safe chemical peels, and gentle exfoliation to help clear breakouts while educating teens on how to care for their skin at home. The goal is to get clear skin while building good skincare habits early.
Dealing with acne can feel like a full-time job. Our acne treatments take the pressure off your routine and give your skin the reset it needs. We go beyond quick fixes to support long-term skin health and confidence.
Benefits of Treatment:
If you’re breaking out regularly, seeing new scars form, or just can’t get your skin to calm down, this is for you. Our acne treatments are designed for teens, adults, and anyone struggling with breakouts, blackheads, or congestion. Treatments are safe for most skin types and tones.
We’ll go over any medical considerations during your consultation. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking certain medications, we’ll adjust the plan to keep your skin safe and supported.
Before any treatment, you’ll sit down with a Kucumber specialist for a detailed skin analysis and plan. We’ll ask about your history with acne, products you’ve used, and what’s helped—or hasn’t. Bring your current skincare routine if possible—it helps us fine-tune your plan.
There’s usually no major prep required, but we may ask you to avoid exfoliating or using active products (like retinol) a couple of days beforehand.
Treatment depends on what your skin needs, but most sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes. Some involve extractions, exfoliation, or light therapy. For more advanced treatments like microneedling or Morpheus8, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable.
You’re in and out the same day, and we’ll make sure you leave with a home-care plan and product recommendations to keep the results going.
Results show up differently depending on the treatment. Some people see fewer breakouts within a week. Others notice clearer texture or fading scars after a few sessions. With acne, consistency is key—many treatments work best when done in a series or combined with at-home skincare.
You might experience mild redness, peeling, or dryness depending on the treatment, but downtime is usually minimal. Stick to gentle cleansers, avoid picking, and follow our aftercare tips for best results.
