5 Reasons to Choose Professional Acne Treatments Over Drugstore Products in Myrtle Beach

June 30, 2025

Struggling with breakouts can be frustrating—especially when you've tried every cleanser, spot treatment, and serum in the skincare aisle. While drugstore products promise clear skin at a low price, they often fall short when it comes to real, lasting results.


At Sculpt Skin Solutions in Myrtle Beach, we specialize in professional acne treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs. If you're tired of wasting money on products that don't work, here’s why professional care is the game-changer you've been looking for.


1. Customized Treatments for Your Skin Type


Most over-the-counter products are one-size-fits-all. But acne isn’t just one condition—it can be caused by hormones, bacteria, clogged pores, inflammation, or a combination of all four. What works for oily teenage skin likely won’t work for adult hormonal acne.


At Sculpt Skin Solutions, we assess your skin type, acne severity, lifestyle, and underlying triggers before building a custom treatment plan. Whether it’s mild comedonal acne or deep cystic breakouts, we target the cause—not just the symptom.


2. Advanced Technology Yields Faster Results


Our clinic uses advanced modalities like:


  • Aerolase Neo Elite: A powerful yet gentle laser treatment that targets acne-causing bacteria and inflammation without harming the skin.

  • HydraFacial: Deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses acne-fighting serums in one session.

  • Microneedling with PRP: Stimulates collagen and reduces post-acne scarring over time.

These treatments penetrate deeper than creams or cleansers and accelerate healing—giving you faster, more visible results.

3. Medical-Grade Skincare That Works

You won't find our product lineup on drugstore shelves. We use medical-grade formulations with higher concentrations of active ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and niacinamide. These are clinically proven to work and are backed by science—not marketing hype.


Even better? We guide you on exactly how to use them so you don’t overdo it or strip your skin barrier.

4. Real Results with Fewer Side Effects


Many drugstore acne products cause:


  • Redness

  • Flaking

  • Over-drying

  • Worsened breakouts due to purging or reaction

Our professional treatments are designed to work with your skin—not against it. We monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed to avoid irritation and support your skin’s natural healing cycle.

Plus, we can treat all skin tones safely and effectively with lasers like Aerolase—no risk of pigmentation damage.


5. Support, Education, and Confidence


One of the biggest differences between professional and drugstore acne treatment? Support.

When you partner with Sculpt Skin Solutions, you're not alone. We’re here to educate you on:


  • Why your skin is breaking out

  • What your triggers might be (including lifestyle or diet)

  • How to build a skincare routine that works long-term

And when your skin improves? So does your confidence. We've seen it time and time again.
