Acne Treatment & Skin Care

Acne-friendly skin care provides you with optimal results.

Dealing with acne can feel like an endless battle, especially because drugstores are filled with an overwhelming number of products that often provide few to no results. Fortunately, almost everyone can obtain significantly clearer skin by working with a dermatologist who is capable of determining exactly what type of acne you have and providing more complex solutions that were designed with your acne in mind. Here are some of our most common comprehensive acne solutions!

WHAT IS IT?

Acne

Acne is a dermatological condition characterized by inflammation and mild infection in clogged pores. If left untreated, acne can lead to emotional distress, low self-esteem, and depression. In severe cases, it can even cause permanent scarring.

While acne is not a serious physical health threat, it can be an embarrassing skin problem that can negatively impact many patients' lives. Though it is most common among teenagers, acne can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender, and can be mild, moderate or severe.

Acne Conditions We Treat

Not all acne is linked to the same causes, which means that knowing exactly what type you are dealing with is an important step in determining the most effective treatment options. Many patients have one specific type of acne, which makes it easy to recommend specific treatment options that were designed with that specific condition in mind, but it is also possible to experience more than one type of acne at a time. Some of the most common types of acne we treat include:

Acne Vulgaris
Acne Rosacea
Acne Conglobata
Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
Hormonal acne
Inflammatory acne
Nodulocystic acne
Comedonal acne

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Complex acne cases often clear up more thoroughly and permanently when multiple treatment options are combined. Once we evaluate the specific type and severity of your acne, the defining characteristics of your skin, and any allergies or other skin conditions you have, we can recommend medications and other treatment options that are most likely to provide the results you want. Some of our most popular comprehensive treatment options include:

Retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, and other topical medications
Hormonal therapy, isotretinoin, antibiotics, and other oral medications
Chemical peels, light therapy, extractions, corticosteroid injections, and other in-office procedures can supplement the results of one or more medications in more severe cases

HOW IT WORKS?

Acne Treatment

Acne can affect people of all ages and can be difficult to treat without guidance from a professional. At Radiant Dermatology & Aesthetics, we provide treatment for those with acne and oily skin and recommend helpful products and solutions.

Acne cannot be treated with a one size fits all method. Our professionals choose the best acne treatment for you based on your skin type and acne severity.

‍Tailored Care for Your Unique Needs

Every patient's skin is unique, which means that putting time and effort into finding acne solutions that were specifically designed with your skin's unique characteristics in mind plays a crucial role in finding just the right products for you. A cream or other treatment your best friend swears by may make your skin much worse, but our team can evaluate your specific acne and skin types to narrow an overwhelming number of options down to a few that are most likely to provide the best possible results for you.

Benefits of Comprehensive Acne Treatment

Choosing our comprehensive acne treatment solutions can be one of the most effective solutions for patients who struggle to find a drugstore acne product that is capable of making a significant difference in the appearance and overall health of their skin. By understanding the specific type of acne you are experiencing and targeting it from multiple angles, you have a much higher likelihood of obtaining clear skin, fewer breakouts, and minimal scarring over time. The appearance of your face has a significant impact on your life, and achieving the skin you want through comprehensive acne treatment can go a long way toward boosting your self-confidence, happiness, mental health, and overall outlook on life.
