Many of us have experienced acne or oily, congested skin at one time in our lives. Acne occurs when oil produced under the skin doesn't reach the surface but gets caught in follicles or pores where the bacteria can thrive. Statistics indicate that as many as 3 out of 4 teens have reported cases due to its prevalence during years of hormonal change. While most hope it's a phase, acne can be aggravated at any stage in life… just ask all the adults who have it.
The cornerstone of our acne treatment program is education -- you need to know what causes the acne. Next, we need to get it under control and finally, we'll recommend a regimen of prescription strength skincare products customized to your skin and needs. Products used to control the acne may contain antibiotics, Vitamin A and/or exfoliants.
Depending on its severity, acne can also be treated with office laser therapies, microdermabrasion with vitamin C, astringents, light peels and/or our physician designed Teen Facial or Clarifying Facial for adults.
