Clearer Skin. Greater Confidence.
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions and can affect teenagers and adults alike. Breakouts can occur on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders and may range from occasional blemishes to persistent or inflammatory acne.
We understand that every person’s skin is different. Our team can evaluate your skin, identify contributing factors, and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help control breakouts, improve the appearance of your skin, and reduce the risk of future scarring.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Hormonal changes, excess oil production, inflammation, bacteria, and genetics can all contribute to breakouts.
Depending on your skin, the type and severity of your acne, and your treatment goals, your personalized plan may include one or more of the following:
Topical Medications
Prescription or professional topical treatments may help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, control oil, and prevent new breakouts.
Oral Medications
For moderate or severe acne, your medical provider may recommend oral medications such as antibiotics, hormonal therapies, or isotretinoin when appropriate.
In-Office Treatments
Certain chemical peels and other professional treatments may be incorporated into an acne treatment plan to help improve congestion, oiliness, and overall skin appearance.
Acne Extractions
When appropriate, professional extractions can help address certain clogged pores and blemishes while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Treating acne early can help reduce the risk of developing scars. If scarring has already occurred, there are several treatment options available depending on the type and severity of the scars.
Treatment may include microneedling, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or other procedures. A combination of treatments may provide the best results for certain types of acne scarring.
There is no single treatment that works for everyone. During your consultation, your skin will be evaluated, and your acne, skin type, lifestyle, and treatment goals will be considered.
Our goal is to create a plan that not only addresses your current breakouts but also helps maintain clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.
You don’t have to navigate acne on your own. Our experienced dermatology and aesthetics team is here to help you find an approach that works for your skin.
