At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery and The K Spa, we understand that acne is more than a skin condition—it’s a personal journey that affects your confidence, daily interactions, and overall well-being. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in aesthetic and medical skin treatments, our practice offers a comprehensive and medically-informed approach to acne care. Located in the heart of Buckhead, we serve patients across the Atlanta metro area, including Midtown, Brookhaven, Decatur, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Atlanta Patients Trust Kalos for Acne Treatments
Medical Expertise that Matters
Unlike typical med spas or skincare clinics, Kalos is a physician-led practice. Dr. Stong holds dual board certifications from the American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He trained under Dr. Andrew Jacono, one of the most respected facial plastic surgeons in the country, and brings both surgical precision and aesthetic insight to every patient’s skincare journey.
Comprehensive Acne Care, Tailored to You
Whether you’re a teenager dealing with hormone-driven acne or an adult struggling with stress- or environment-related breakouts, our team builds a treatment plan rooted in your skin’s unique needs. With decades of combined experience in advanced laser technology, skin resurfacing, and facial aesthetics, our clinical team collaborates directly with Dr. Stong to ensure your regimen is safe, strategic, and personalized.
Deep Understanding of Atlanta’s Skin Challenges
The Atlanta area’s humid climate, air pollution, and fluctuating seasonal temperatures all play a role in increasing oil production and skin irritation. Our team understands these regional factors and adjusts treatment protocols accordingly. Atlanta’s high pollen count and urban stressors also make skin conditions like acne more persistent—especially among adults.

What Makes Kalos Stand Out for Acne Patients in Atlanta
Medical Oversight & Personal Connection
Our patients benefit not only from cutting-edge technology but from expert hands and caring guidance. Dr. Stong is involved in the treatment planning process, particularly for patients with scarring, chronic breakouts, or those seeking treatment post-dermatology referrals.
Recognition and Results
Dr. Stong is consistently named a Castle Connolly “Top Doctor” for facial plastic surgery—a peer-nominated honor that reflects his medical integrity and patient outcomes. At Kalos, we don’t follow trends; we follow clinical evidence. Our focus is long-term results with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.
Atlanta-Centered Solutions
We don’t rely on generic skin care advice. Our strategies are built for Atlanta’s real-world conditions, schedules, and environmental challenges. Whether you’re a college student at Georgia Tech or a busy executive in Buckhead, we create a plan that works for your day-to-day life.
