Acne Treatments: What Works and What Doesn’t?

Today, and I want to discuss a topic that affects many of my patients: acne. It’s a common skin condition that can be frustrating to manage, but understanding your options can help.

Over-the-counter products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are often the first line of defense against acne. These ingredients work to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. However, if you find that these options aren’t working for you, I encourage you to schedule a consultation with me.

For moderate to severe acne, I often prescribe topical retinoids or oral antibiotics, which can effectively manage your symptoms. Additionally, for persistent cases, we can explore procedures like chemical peels, laser therapy, or light therapy.

It’s important to have a personalized treatment plan, as acne can result from various factors, including hormones, diet, and stress. Together, we can identify the root causes and tailor the most effective treatment for you.

Conclusion

If you’re struggling with acne, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Understanding your treatment options is the first step toward achieving clearer skin. I’m here to provide a personalized plan that meets your unique needs.
