Breakouts, Be Gone.
The Best Acne Treatments in Rockville & North Bethesda
Acne doesn’t care if you’re 14 or 42. It shows up uninvited—on your chin, your chest, your back—and it overstays its welcome.
At Shore Dermatology, we don’t just treat acne. We get to the root of it, stop it from coming back, and restore confidence (with science, not guesswork).
Welcome to clear skin, custom-built.
Why You’re Breaking Out (And What You Can Do About It)
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to acne. That’s why our first step is figuring out the why.
Is it hormonal? Stress? Clogged pores? Post-pandemic maskne? Maybe a mix of all of the above?
We’ll assess your skin, your history, and your triggers—then design a treatment plan that actually works.
Our Acne Arsenal: What We Offer in Rockville
Prescription-Strength Topicals
Think of this as your customized offense against breakouts—stronger than what you’ll find at Sephora, and tailored for your skin.
Tretinoin and other retinoids
Benzoyl peroxide combos
Sulfur-based options for deep, cystic acne
Oral Medications
Because sometimes acne is more than skin deep.
Spironolactone – for hormonal acne (hello, jawline breakouts)
Antibiotics – for short-term control of inflammation
Isotretinoin (Accutane) – for severe, scarring acne when nothing else works
We’ll walk you through risks, results, and what to expect—no pressure, just clarity.
Healite II Red Light Therapy
Yep, light can fight acne. Our LED phototherapy system (Healite II) reduces inflammation, speeds healing, and kills acne-causing bacteria. No pain. No downtime. And it’s FDA-cleared.
Pro tip: Great for teens and adults who want a non-medicated add-on—or need to calm flare-ups fast.
Cortisone Injections
Got a cystic zit before a big meeting, wedding, or date? We’ve got a shot for that. One tiny injection = inflammation gone in 24–48 hours.
Medical-Grade Skincare Regimens
We carry only what’s clinically proven. No trendy fluff, no miracle mud masks—just real ingredients that deliver.
Glycolic acid pads
Salicylic + niacinamide combos
SPF you’ll actually want to wear
We help you build a daily routine that fights breakouts and protects your skin barrier.
Acne Scars? We Treat Those Too.
Clearing acne is Phase 1. Phase 2 is smoothing, fading, and healing the aftermath.
