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!

The importance of skin care cannot be understated—without it, you may not achieve the results you desire.

Nail conditions can affect the appearance, growth, and pain sensations in the nails of your fingers and toes. Living with nail conditions can be challenging, and only a few can be treated at home.

Nail conditions can make it difficult to use your hands or walk comfortably and may influence your confidence in allowing others to see your hands or feet. But you shouldn't have to live with this invasive and everyday problem.

The good news is that treatments are available for many existing nail conditions. The expert dermatology specialists of Radiant Dermatology & Aesthetics can help you diagnose your nails and build a treatment plan to manage or solve your condition for healthier, more beautiful nails.

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. See below for some of the most common types of acne we treat.

  • Acne Vlugaris
  • Acne Rosacea
  • Acne Conglobata
  • Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
  • Hormonal acne
  • Inflammatory acne
  • Nodulocystic acne
  • Comedonal acne
  • Acne Vlugaris
  • Acne Rosacea
  • Acne Conglobata
  • Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
  • Hormonal acne
  • Inflammatory acne
  • Nodulocystic acne
  • Comedonal acne

Comprehensive Treatment Option

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 Acne Treatments Work

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.

Common Causes for Nail Conditions

Nail conditions can be the result of several different factors. The appearance of your nail can help determine what the cause might be. Factors that might be contributing to or the source of your nail condition include:

  • Fungal infection
  • Bacterial infection
  • Nutrient deficiency (malnutrition)
  • Injury to the hand or foot
  • Tight or damp socks
  • Psoriasis (a skin-related auto-immune disorder)
  • Ingrown nail
  • Infected cuticle
  • Cuticle gland issues
  • Improper moisture

Conditions Treated

Onycholysis

Onycholysis occurs when the nail separates from the nail bed over time. The condition may be a reaction to chemicals, water, psoriasis, or allergies, among other possible causes. Treatments include antifungals, psoriasis treatment, or cause-specific remedies.

Onychomycosis

Onychomycosis is a type of fungal infection that is more likely to be found in toenails than fingernails. Treatments include antifungal medication and special nail care to stop the infection and prevent it from recurring.

Paronychia

Paronychia is an infection of the nail bed. It occurs when a damaged nail bed allows bacteria to enter. The result is redness, painful swelling, and sometimes yellow puss at the site of infection. Treatment includes antibiotics, warm compresses, corticosteroids, and surgical incisions if necessary.

Nail Psoriasis

Nail psoriasis is an autoimmune reaction that causes nails to crumble or dent. It weakens the nail so it can become brittle and fragile. Treatment includes treatment of systemic psoriasis along with corticosteroids and laser treatment.

Onychogryphosis

Onychogryphosis is a thick overgrowth of the nail that becomes thick and overlarge. It is most likely to occur on the big toe. Treatment includes special cutting or filing to bring the nail back down to a regular size and safely maintain it if the condition continues.

Nail Fungal Infection

Nail fungal infections can be common, especially for toenails. They cause nails to become thick, discolored, and/or breakable. Treatment includes long-term antifungal medication and can take time to cure the infection fully.

Ingrown Nail

An ingrown nail occurs when the nail itself grows into the nailbed. Causes include shoes and socks, but they can also be genetic. Ingrown nails are surgically repaired, and they can then be prevented or managed with foot soaks and careful shoe and socks choice.

Pincer Nail

A pincer nail is when the nail grows unevenly and damages the nail bed. It can be treated similarly to an ingrown nail focusing on the uneven side.
