About Dr. Craig Singer
Dr. Craig Singer is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in acne and acne scar treatment and founder of the Acne Center of Michigan in Bingham Farms, Michigan. The practice is dedicated to the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of acne and acne scarring using advanced medical, surgical, laser, and chemical peeling techniques tailored to each patient’s specific scar types.
Many patients who seek care at the Acne Center of Michigan have previously undergone treatments elsewhere without satisfactory improvement. Dr. Singer’s approach emphasizes careful scar analysis and defect-oriented therapy, in which each scar type is individually addressed using the most appropriate technique.
Rather than relying on a single procedure, treatment plans frequently combine complementary procedures such as subcision, CROSS techniques, punch excision, laser resurfacing, and chemical peeling to address the structural causes of acne scars.
Dr. Singer treats patients from throughout Metro Detroit, across Michigan, and from neighboring states including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, as well as patients traveling from Canada who seek advanced care for acne and acne scarring. He also receives referrals from dermatologists and other physicians throughout the region for patients requiring specialized evaluation and treatment of complex acne scars.
