Acne is one of my favorite skin conditions to treat!😄😄
The cause tends to be multi-factorial and I love the journey of figuring it out, treating the cause, and watching the acne disappear more and more every time that patient comes in!
Acne can be treated with:
▶️ Proper skin care that controls excess oil, protects the skin barrier and kills bacteria.
▶️ Chemical Peels (Salicylic acid is my fave for acne!)
▶️ Laser treatments - to kill bacteria, shrink the pores, and eliminate hyperpigmentation.
This patient's acne had a strong hormonal component, so I combined a good skin care routine, chemical peels, and prescription creams. And voila! Hormonal acne who?🧐😱
I always tell patients: 1️⃣Address the acne first, 2️⃣THEN the dark spots! So that we're not playing catch-up with every new pimple that pops up.
NEXT STEP: Picosure Pro Laser for that stubborn post-acne hyperpigmentation! 😎
For new acne consultations , I always do a thorough skin and health deep dive to get to the root cause of the acne. Then I tailor treatments and medications for that patient. No two of my patients are on the same regimen! It's got to work for their skin and their lifestyle. We fight it together!
