Acne
Acne happens when pores clog with oil and dead skin and become inflamed. It shows up in teens and adults alike, and it is one of the most treatable things we see. Most patients notice a real change within three months of starting a plan.
Signs to look for
- Breakouts that return. Spots that keep coming back after over-the-counter products.
- Painful bumps. Deep, tender lumps that sit under the skin.
- Marks and scars. Dark marks or pitted scars left behind after breakouts.
- Jawline flares. Breakouts along the jaw that flare each month.
How we treat it
- Prescription creams. Retinoids and antibiotics applied daily to clear pores.
- Oral medicine. Antibiotics, hormonal pills or isotretinoin for stubborn acne.
- Chemical peels. A light peel in the clinic to clear clogged pores and fade marks.
