ACNE

Acne Scar Removal

One of the most long-lasting effects of acne is scarring. Unlike pimples or cysts, which will disappear with time and treatment, scarred tissue can last a lifetime. These scars are typically small, but multiple, creating the appearance of depressions in the face. Our doctor can recommend several types of treatments, depending on the severity and needs of your case.

Acne Scar Treatment

You might find that just one, or a combination of several treatments works best for you. These can include laser therapy, chemical peels, dermal fillers, and minor skin surgeries. Our doctor typically uses Juvederm or Radiesse injections to create volume in the skin and round out the features.

Acne Treatment

The treatment for acne itself will begin with at-home care. This will include a regulated diet and cleaning with recommended products. Our doctor offers custom designed skin care products specific to each patient. You might see results from these lifestyle changes alone, or you may need further help from in-office therapies.

Medical treatment options to eliminate acne completely depend on several factors. These factors include severity, skin type, age, and lifestyle. Regardless, results are often seen between six and eight weeks of treatment. Your process may include just one treatment, or a combination of several.

In-office treatment options include:

• Microdermabrasion
• Oral and topical therapy
• Chemical peels
• Dermal tissue filler
• And punch excisional surgery, for extreme cases

Many believe that they are stuck with the effects of acne for life. This is simply not true. A consultation appointment with our doctor can educate you on which treatments and lifestyle changes you can utilize to see results in your appearance. Call our office today to learn more.
