What Is Vanish Acne Treatment?
Acne is the most common skin issue in the United States, and tackling it can often feel like a prolonged and challenging process. In many cases, it leaves behind visible signs, such as redness, cysts, pustules, and inflammation, which can lead to infections and lingering scars.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon is equipped to treat and eliminate acne effectively. A proper skincare routine helps manage and prevent future breakouts. However, even with the best care, some patients may still experience acne scars, serving as a persistent reminder of their battle with this skin condition.
Fortunately, our skilled surgeon offers solutions to address both active acne and its scarring. With our advanced acne treatment options, you can achieve clearer skin and reduce the appearance of scars for good.

Vanish Acne Treatment Procedure
For patients dealing with more severe or deep acne scars, our Vanish Acne Treatment may be the optimal choice. Although it is more invasive than other options like laser treatments or microneedling alone, the results can be truly transformative.
This treatment involves a subcision technique, which releases the scar bands tethered to the skin, improving the appearance of acne scars. To enhance results, subcision is paired with laser resurfacing, which further refines the skin’s texture and minimizes scarring. This procedure is typically performed in our Traverse City office in our accredited surgical facility utilizing local anesthetic with the option of IV sedation.
Since every patient’s acne scarring is unique, we recommend a consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment.
For ongoing acne breakouts, our team at Copper Aesthetics offers noninvasive skincare and laser treatments. Additionally, we provide specialized skin care products and customized systems to not only clear existing acne but also prevent future breakouts, ensuring long-lasting results.
