Tackle Acne Head-On
Acne, a prevalent concern among adolescents and adults, arises from increased oil production and blocked pores. This leads to blackheads, whiteheads, redness, and pimples caused by bacterial overgrowth. From occasional pimples to severe cystic outbreaks, acne varies in intensity, affecting not only the face but also areas like the neck, chest, back, and shoulders.
Types of Acne
Active Acne
• Medical evaluation and treatment can address active acne and prevent future breakouts.
• Chemical peels can unclog and shrink pores and may decrease oil production.
Because each patient is unique and there are many ways to treat acne scars, patients must choose a cosmetic surgeon who will carefully evaluate their skin and who is skilled at a wide variety of procedures.
Acne Scars
• Advanced acne scar treatments combined can make different types of acne scars dramatically less noticeable.
• Chemical peels soften acne scars by removing the outer superficial layer of skin.
• Laser skin therapies gently improve the coloration or texture of acne scars with minimal recovery time.
Laser resurfacing removes thin layers of skin with successive treatments until the scars improve or disappear. These treatments also tighten and smooth the skin.
