Acne Center MAIN HOOK
Acne doesn’t clear itself. It clears with the right treatment.
Our dermatologists treat acne with medical and laser therapies designed to stop breakouts, reduce scarring, and keep skin clear.
Local Hook + AI FOCUS
Acne is a medical condition that affects patients of all ages, skin types, and backgrounds—not just teenagers. At Lucid Dermatology in Queens, NY, we treat acne with a clinical, personalized approach that targets the underlying causes, not just surface symptoms.
Our dermatologists combine medical expertise, prescription therapies, and advanced in-office treatments to deliver clear, lasting results while minimizing the risk of scarring.
Clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and mild breakouts that often begin in the teen years but can persist into adulthood if left untreated.
Cyclical or persistent breakouts, commonly along the jawline and lower face, driven by hormonal shifts and rarely controlled by over-the-counter products.
Deep cysts, nodules, or chronic inflammation that can damage the skin permanently without early dermatologic intervention.
Addressing Patient Doubt
Every new acne patient begins with a thorough dermatologic assessment. We examine your skin, review your history, and identify the factors contributing to your breakouts.
From the first visit, we identify your acne pattern, underlying drivers, and risk factors for scarring or pigmentation.
Assess acne type, severity, and distribution
Review prior therapies and current medications
Identify triggers influencing breakouts
Investigate internal contributors and optimize routines
Setting Patient Expectations
We customize every treatment plan based on your acne type, skin tone, and goals.
Prescription treatments used to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and control acne from the inside and out.

I found out about Lucid after some research, and decided to come in after seeing many positive reviews. I met with Ms. Sana Chowdhury, PA, who is amazing! My main concerns were acne and visible hyperpigmentation I’d been dealing with for years. I was put on a regimen that led to major improvements in both issues in just a few months.
My acne is under control and the dark hyperpigmentation I’d had for many years is almost completely gone. Staff is also super friendly and helpful. I’m very pleased with my experience and results so far, highly recommend.

Yes. Many of our acne patients travel from other NYC boroughs and Long Island to receive care at Lucid Dermatology due to our experience treating persistent, adult, and scarring acne.
Yes. Our dermatologists treat acne every day and consistently help patients achieve clearer skin by combining medical care, laser treatments, and structured maintenance plans tailored to each patient.
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin, leading to inflammation and bacterial overgrowth. Hormones, genetics, stress, and lifestyle factors can all play a role.
Acne often returns when treatment only targets one factor instead of oil, inflammation, bacteria, and hormones together. Long-term results require a structured, multi-layered plan.
Blackheads are open clogged pores, whiteheads are closed clogged pores, and cystic acne forms deeper, painful lesions that carry a higher risk of scarring.
Most patients begin to see improvement within 4–8 weeks, with continued progress over several months depending on acne severity.
Inflammatory acne responds best to a combination of prescription medications and in-office treatments such as laser therapy to calm inflammation and prevent scarring.
Yes. Diet, stress, and lifestyle habits can influence acne severity and recurrence.
Yes. We offer pregnancy-safe acne treatments and avoid medications that are not appropriate during pregnancy.
Early treatment of inflammation, avoiding picking, and timely medical care are the best ways to prevent acne scarring.
Scar treatments typically start once active acne is controlled, often after 8–12 weeks.
Yes. PRP helps stimulate collagen and improve healing, often enhancing the results of microneedling for acne scars.
Yes. Medically supervised peels can help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and support ongoing acne treatment when used appropriately.
Although microneedling is primarily used for acne scarring, it can be used as maintenance for those without acne scarring as it improves texture, promotes collagen production, and reducing fine line and wrinkles.
Hormonal acne often appears along the jawline and chin, flares cyclically, and is more resistant to basic skincare, requiring targeted medical treatment.
Some patients achieve long-term remission, while others need maintenance care. Consistent treatment and prevention are key to lasting results.
Fungal acne causes small, uniform bumps and requires antifungal treatment rather than traditional acne medications, making proper diagnosis essential.
Heavy oils, pore-clogging ingredients, and harsh scrubs can worsen acne and irritation.
A consistent routine with gentle cleansing, targeted active ingredients, moisturizing, and sun protection works best.
OTC products often can’t treat deeper inflammation, hormonal triggers, or resistant acne that requires medical care.
Yes. Once acne is controlled, treatments like laser, microneedling, peels, and PRP can safely improve tone and texture.
Yes. Treatments are carefully adjusted to minimize irritation and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes across all skin tones.
