Persistent acne breakouts and the scars they leave behind can feel frustrating and difficult to control. That’s why we created DA Acne, a complete, multi-layered protocol that goes beyond any single treatment. By blending the power of DiamondGlow® dermal infusion, professional chemical peels, Cutera® Excel V™ Laser Genesis, and Lumenis® M22™ fractional resurfacing, DA Acne tackles acne from every angle.
Acne is rarely one-dimensional, which is why single treatments often fall short. That’s why we created DA Acne, our signature multi-technology approach that treats acne at every stage. This protocol combines the best of resurfacing, exfoliation, and advanced laser science to deliver clearer, healthier-looking skin.
With DiamondGlow®, we clear clogged pores, exfoliate, and infuse clarifying serums to help prevent breakouts. Chemical peels smooth discoloration, fade scars, and reset texture. Cutera® Excel V™ Laser Genesis calms inflammation, targets acne-causing bacteria, and reduces redness, while Lumenis® M22™ fractional resurfacing rebuilds collagen, softens scars, and refines skin tone.
By addressing acne from multiple angles, both at the surface and deeper layers, DA Acne delivers results you can see and feel.
Real Patients – Real Results
The first step in the DA Acne experience is getting to know you. We’ll talk about your skin’s history, the type of acne you’re experiencing, and what your goals are for your skin so we fully understand what you’re looking for.
From there, we’ll build a custom treatment plan and get to work revealing that clear, bright, beautiful skin. Your plan may include facial treatments, laser treatments, and changes to your at-home skincare routine. We’re huge on education here, so we’ll walk you through every step and give you the tools and info you need to enjoy acne-free skin for good.
At Destination Aesthetics™, we offer a full range of advanced acne treatments, including chemical peels, laser therapies, microneedling, and medical-grade skincare, customized to clear breakouts, reduce scarring, and promote healthy, balanced skin.
DiamondGlow™ is a multifaceted facial that exfoliates your skin’s surface, extracts blockages, and infuses your skin with medical-grade serums, all with no downtime. We recommend it for acne treatment because it’s especially effective for clearing up pore congestion. On top of the extractions themselves, the pore clarifying SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion serum clears out excess oil and debris in your pores without excessively drying your skin.
The Cutera® Excel V Laser Genesis treatment kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces red pigmentation in the skin. One of the primary causes of acne is excessive oil produced by overactive sebaceous glands. The laser’s controlled heating not only shrinks these glands but also stimulates collagen production to help with acne scarring and large pores.
An effective at-home routine is essential when it comes to keeping acne at bay. Our DA™ Skin Acne collection contains products specially formulated to treat acne on the face and body. Best-selling products include:
On our premium skincare site, you’ll also find products for skin brightening and exfoliation, such as the DA™ Skin Exfoliating Pads and the SkinMedica® Lytera® 2.0 Pigment Correcting Serum.
We often recommend chemical peels or a photofractional laser treatment with the Lumenis® M22™, which combines IPL and fractional resurfacing to correct pigmentation, boost collagen, and smooth skin texture for a more even, refreshed complexion.

Thank you for your positive feedback about our practice! Jessica has been in the aesthetic industry for over 8 years and continues to give the best experience possible! All our best, Destination AestheticsPosted on Arielle MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recently switched to Jessica, because my prior work was done by someone no longer working in Elk Grove. I’ve always been happy at destination aesthetics. The one time I didn’t come here I ended up with lop sided eyebrows and had to come back for destination to fix it. They always keep your follow up appointment. They always make you comfortable. Jessica had extensive knowledge of the laser facial and best sunblock options.

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3-6 DA Acne treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart, depending on acne severity and skin response. During your consultation, our aestheticians will create a personalized treatment schedule based on your specific skin concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments every 2-3 months help sustain clear skin results and prevent future breakouts.
You should avoid makeup for at least 4-6 hours after DA Acne treatment to allow your skin to begin the healing process properly. After this initial period, you may apply gentle, non-comedogenic makeup if needed. We recommend using mineral-based cosmetics and avoiding heavy foundations for the first 24 hours to prevent pore congestion during recovery.
DA Acne treatments effectively address hormonal acne by targeting bacterial inflammation and improving overall skin health through deep cleansing and laser therapy. While hormonal acne requires ongoing management, regular DA Acne treatments can significantly reduce breakout frequency and severity. Our aestheticians may recommend combining treatments with appropriate skincare products for comprehensive hormonal acne management.
DA Acne treatments are generally well-tolerated with most patients describing sensations as mild pressure during DiamondGlow® extraction and brief warming during Excel V laser therapy. Our aestheticians adjust treatment intensity based on your comfort level and skin sensitivity. Any discomfort is temporary and significantly less than traditional acne extraction methods or aggressive chemical peels.
Initial improvements in skin clarity and reduced inflammation typically become visible within 1-2 weeks after your first DA Acne treatment. Full results develop gradually over the course of your treatment series, with most patients seeing significant improvement after 2-3 sessions. Consistent treatment following our recommended schedule ensures optimal acne clearing and long-term skin health benefits.
DA Acne treatments can be customized for sensitive skin types through adjusted treatment intensity and specialized serum selection during DiamondGlow® therapy. Our experienced aestheticians perform thorough skin assessments to determine the safest approach for reactive skin conditions. We often recommend patch testing and gradual treatment introduction for patients with known sensitivities or inflammatory skin disorders.
Preparation for DA Acne treatment includes avoiding harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and strong acne medications for 3-5 days before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or other products that could interfere with treatment effectiveness. Our team will provide specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential complications.
Final results from your complete DA Acne treatment series typically develop 4-6 weeks after your last session, allowing time for skin renewal and collagen remodeling processes. Most patients notice progressive improvement throughout their treatment series, with the most dramatic changes occurring after completing the full recommended protocol. Maintenance treatments help preserve these results and continue improving skin health long-term.
