Options offered in Chicago
Treatments for acne available locally
| Treatment | Chicago clinics | Typical cost in Chicago | When it is the right call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microneedling1–2 days of redness, similar to a mild sunburn | 82 | $220–$770per session | The first-line treatment for the pitted scars acne leaves behind. Collagen remodeling over three to six sessions softens rolling and boxcar scars. Do it once the breakouts are controlled, not during them. |
| Chemical PeelA few hours (light), about a week (medium), about 2 weeks (deep) | 77 | $110–$660per session | The workhorse for active, non-cystic acne. Salicylic and combination peels unclog pores, reduce oil, and fade the red and brown marks breakouts leave. A series of four to six, spaced weeks apart, is where results show. |
| Laser Skin Resurfacing1–2 days (non-ablative) up to 1–2 weeks (ablative) | 63 | $550–$3,850per session | The strongest option for deeper or older acne scars. Fractional lasers rebuild texture more aggressively than microneedling, with real downtime to match. |
| BBL Photofacial1–3 days of redness; brown spots darken then flake off over 7–14 days | 58 | $440–$990per session | Targets the persistent red marks and visible vessels active acne leaves behind. Useful once the skin has calmed and the redness is what remains. |
| HydraFacialNone. Your skin looks glowing immediately | 50 | $165–$385per session | Gentle extraction and hydration with no downtime. Good for congestion, blackheads, and maintenance between peels. Not a treatment for inflamed or cystic acne on its own. |

FAQ
Acne in Chicago: common questions
How many clinics in Chicago treat acne?
82 clinics on ClinicCompass in Chicago offer at least one treatment for acne, between them carrying 34,021 Google reviews. The most widely offered option locally is Microneedling (82 clinics), followed by Chemical Peel (77).
What does acne treatment cost in Chicago?
It depends on the treatment. Microneedling runs about $220–$770 per session; Chemical Peel runs about $110–$660 per session; Laser Skin Resurfacing runs about $550–$3,850 per session. Chicago pricing is about 10% above the national average. Every clinic quotes after a consultation, so treat these as the range to expect rather than a menu price.
Which Chicago clinic is best for acne?
By Google rating weighted by review volume, Glazer Dermatology (4.9★ across 2,280 reviews), Aesthetic Beauty Lounge, Inc (5★ across 832 reviews), Illinois Dermatology Institute - Northbrook Office (4.9★ across 1,164 reviews) lead the Chicago list. Rankings are editorial and never sold.
Should I see a med spa or a dermatologist for acne?
It depends on severity. Cystic, nodular, or scarring acne needs a dermatologist and usually prescription medication, because no facial or peel treats inflammation at that depth. Mild to moderate congestion-driven acne, and the marks and scars left after acne is controlled, are exactly what med spa peels, extractions, microneedling, and laser do well. Many people use both: the dermatologist to control it, the clinic to repair what it left.
Can acne scars be removed completely?
Improved substantially, not removed. Rolling and boxcar scars respond well to microneedling and fractional laser over a series, and most people see their scars become shallow enough to be hard to notice. Deep ice-pick scars are the most stubborn and sometimes need individual treatment. Anyone promising scar-free skin is overpromising.
