What Causes Acne & Acne Scarring?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages and skin types. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to breakouts ranging from mild blackheads to deep, painful cysts. Left untreated, acne can leave behind lasting reminders in the form of:
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) — dark marks or discoloration left behind after a breakout heals, most common in medium to darker skin tones.
Acne Scars — textural changes in the skin caused by damage to the deeper layers during severe or repeated breakouts, including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
Active Acne — ongoing breakouts driven by excess oil production, bacteria, hormones, or inflammation.
The good news? At Royal You Med Spa in Madison WI, we offer effective treatments for all three.
Our Acne Treatments
Candela PicoWay® Laser — Target Active Acne & PIH
The Candela PicoWay® laser uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to address acne at multiple levels. PicoWay reduces inflammation, targets acne-causing bacteria, and breaks down post-inflammatory pigmentation — all with minimal downtime and discomfort.
PicoWay is safe for all skin tones and particularly effective for fading the dark marks left behind after breakouts. Most patients see noticeable improvement in skin clarity and tone after just a few sessions.
Candela Matrix™ RF Microneedling — Resurface & Rebuild
The Candela Matrix™ RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin from within. This makes it one of the most effective treatments available for acne scarring — reducing the appearance of textural damage while tightening and smoothing the skin.
The Matrix™ uses ultra-fine, gold-plated needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. This dual action triggers the body’s natural healing process, gradually improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of acne scars over a series of treatments.
Glytone Chemical Peels — Exfoliate, Clarify & Brighten
- Our Glytone Chemical Peels are a powerful complement to laser and microneedling treatments for acne. Medical-grade chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin, unclogging pores, reducing excess oil, and fading post-acne discoloration.
For acne-prone skin we commonly recommend:
- Mandelic Gentle Radiance Peel — ideal for sensitive or first-time peel clients with mild acne
- Jessner Bright + Clear Peel — targets post-acne marks, oily skin, and stubborn pigmentation
- Glycolic Signature 30 Peel — improves skin tone, refines texture, and decongests pores
Dr. Ruiz will assess your skin and recommend the best peel for your unique needs during your consultation.

Botox FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the type and severity of your acne concerns. Active acne may respond in 3–6 PicoWay sessions, while acne scarring with Matrix RF typically requires 3–4 treatments for best results. Dr. Ruiz will outline a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
Is acne treatment painful?
Most patients find our treatments very tolerable. PicoWay feels like a mild snapping sensation and Matrix RF microneedling may cause mild warmth and pressure. Topical numbing can be applied before treatment to maximize comfort.
Can I treat both active acne and acne scars at the same time?
Yes — in fact combining treatments often delivers the best results. Dr. Ruiz will advise on the right sequence and timing for your specific skin concerns.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal for most treatments. PicoWay may cause mild redness for a day or two. Matrix RF microneedling may cause redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours. Chemical peels may cause light flaking for several days depending on strength.
Are these treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. PicoWay is one of the few lasers safe and effective for all skin tones. Matrix RF and Glytone peels can also be customized for a wide range of skin types. Dr. Ruiz will assess your skin carefully before recommending any treatment.
What is the difference between acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to flat dark marks or discoloration left after a breakout — these are not true scars and often respond well to PicoWay and chemical peels. Acne scars involve textural changes in the skin and typically require Matrix RF microneedling for the best improvement.
