Acne Treatment

Our dermatologists build a plan around what is actually driving your breakouts — hormones, barrier damage or bacteria — so your skin clears safely and stays clear.

What people say after
the second visit

★★★★★  4.9 · 612 reviews

“Ten years of adult acne and nobody had checked my hormones. Dr. Okafor did, changed one prescription, and my skin settled in four months.”

Hannah R.Northwest Portland

“She talked me out of the filler I came in asking for and booked me for resurfacing instead. It cost less and it was the right call.”

Priya N.Beaverton

“A mole on my shoulder changed shape. They saw me on the Thursday, biopsied it the same visit, and called me with results on Monday morning.”

Questions

Before you
book

Anything not covered here, call the clinic and ask for Maya at the front desk.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly with us. If your plan needs a referral for coverage, your primary care provider can fax one to (503) 555-0149 and we'll attach it to your file.

Is dermatology covered by insurance?

Medical visits — acne, eczema, rosacea, skin checks — are billed to insurance. We're in network with Providence, Regence, Aetna and Moda. Cosmetic treatments are self-pay and quoted upfront.

How long until I see a change?

Acne plans are reviewed at eight weeks. Pigmentation usually needs three laser sessions spaced a month apart. We book your follow-up before you leave so nobody drifts.

Do you treat darker skin tones?

Yes. Our lasers and settings are chosen for Fitzpatrick types I through VI, and Dr. Okafor's clinical focus is pigmentation and scarring in skin of colour.

What should I bring to the first visit?

Your insurance card, a list of every product you currently use on your skin, and any prescriptions you've tried before — including the ones that didn't work.

Can I get a same-week appointment?

Usually. We hold two slots each weekday for urgent skin issues and changing moles. Call before 9am for the best chance of a same-week slot.
