If you’re struggling with acne or acne scarring and want a medically guided, minimally invasive treatment that delivers real results, The K Spa in Buckhead is your trusted destination. As a physician-led medical spa founded by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong—Atlanta’s only facial plastic surgeon dual board-certified in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology—The K Spa offers advanced, personalized chemical peel treatments that are rooted in science, safety, and visible results. We serve patients across Metro Atlanta, including Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Decatur, and Midtown.
I had my first chemical peel done at The K Spa and they made my experience a great one. They were very informative, quickly responded to any questions or concerns I had, and even did a follow up call to make sure everything was going well. You can tell they really want the best for their clients health and experience and do a great job at it.
Chemical Peels: What They Do and How They Help
Chemical peels are a proven solution for both active acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or scarring. By using exfoliants such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or botanical enzymes, we break down the bonds between dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote collagen regeneration.
Types of Acne-Focused Peels We Offer:
- Light Peels — Best for active breakouts, blackheads, and surface pigmentation. Zero to minimal downtime.
- Medium Peels — Targets superficial scarring and deeper congestion. Some redness or flaking may occur.
- Deep Peels — Ideal for pitted scars and textural irregularities. Longer recovery, but more dramatic results.
Our treatments are designed to safely improve your skin’s clarity, tone, and texture over a series of visits, often spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Patients see significant improvement in both acne reduction and scar fading with ongoing care.
Acne in Atlanta: Climate, Lifestyle & Local Skin Concerns
Atlanta’s hot, humid summers and growing urban pollution levels can contribute to persistent breakouts and delayed skin healing. Sweat, sunscreen buildup, and environmental irritants often clog pores and inflame acne-prone skin. At The K Spa, we tailor chemical peels to address these local challenges, offering exfoliation that clears clogged pores, removes damaged surface skin, and rejuvenates the complexion—all while supporting your skin’s natural healing processes.
Your Treatment Journey at The K Spa
We begin every appointment with a comprehensive consultation, during which our medical aesthetician evaluates your skin’s condition, discusses your concerns, and reviews your medical history. Based on this assessment, we develop a treatment plan that may include:
- Custom chemical peel series (light, medium, or deep)
- Pairing with PRP microneedling for deeper scars
- Medical-grade skincare to maintain results at home
- Ongoing maintenance peels for prevention and glow
Our team works with you to ensure every step of the process feels informed, comfortable, and empowering. Because we understand that acne impacts confidence as much as skin health, we offer guidance and honest expectations at every stage.
