Acne Treatment Manhattan Beach | Zeeba Medical
Acne isn’t just a “teen problem,” and it’s almost never caused by a single trigger. Hormones, inflammation, diet, stress, gut health, and skincare habits all intertwine. At Zeeba Medical in Manhattan Beach, we take a whole-person, integrative approach to calm breakouts, fade scars, and prevent future flares. From medical-grade chemical peels and PRP microneedling to zinc supplementation, intramuscular (IM) nutrition therapies, and microbiome testing, your plan is tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Conventional Medical Therapies (When Needed)
In-Office Dermatologic Treatments
Professional Chemical Peels
Medically supervised peels use acids like glycolic, salicylic, or TCA to exfoliate dead skin, unclog pores, and soften post-acne pigmentation. We select the right peel depth and type for your skin tone, sensitivity, and goals. “Light” peels have minimal downtime; deeper peels may cause a few days of visible shedding.
PRP Microneedling for Acne & Scars
✦ Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) concentrates your body’s own growth factors. When combined with microneedling, PRP can:
✦ Stimulate collagen to remodel acne scars
✦ Reduce inflammation and speed healing
✦ Improve overall texture and tone
✦ Most patients see best results with sessions every 4–6 weeks.
LED Light Therapy & Laser Resurfacing
Blue and red LED wavelengths target acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. Fractional lasers can resurface scarred areas, smooth texture, and even tone—often used in combination for synergistic results.
Targeted Zinc Supplementation
Zinc regulates sebum and calms inflammation. Many acne sufferers are deficient. After reviewing your diet and labs (if needed), we guide dosing (commonly 30–60 mg elemental zinc daily in short courses) and ensure copper balance.
Intramuscular (IM) Nutrition Therapies
✦ Quick nutrient boosts support skin healing, immunity, and detox pathways. Popular shots include:
✦ Vitamin B complex & B12 – energy, methylation support
✦ Glutathione – antioxidant power for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
✦ Amino acid blends – tissue repair and collagen support
These injections aren’t stand-alone cures but can amplify results when paired with lifestyle and topical care.
Microbiome & Functional Testing
Your skin often reflects your gut. For stubborn or cystic acne, we may recommend:
✦ Comprehensive stool microbiome testing to assess dysbiosis, candida, and inflammatory markers
✦ Food sensitivity or hormone panels when clinically indicated
We use results to personalize probiotics, diet shifts, and herbal protocols.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching
✦ Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory eating (think Mediterranean-style meals)
✦ Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or algae oil
✦ Hydration, sleep hygiene, and stress management (breathwork, yoga, adaptogens when appropriate)
✦ Non-comedogenic skincare routines (we’ll help audit your products)
