HOW CAN I GET BETTER RESULTS WITH MY ACNE AND ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS?

Acne and acne scars are a chronic condition that can be quite debilitating to patients. The negative psychological impact of poorly controlled acne or acne scars is often underestimated. In order for you to get clear, blemish free skin with a smoother looking appearance, a multi-pronged approach is needed for success. Successful control of active acne requires that we used all the available tools at our disposal to get all four causes of acne under control, consistently. If you neglect one of the causes or slack off, your acne will come back. We usually start out with the simplest, most cost effective solutions and ramp things up depending on your response to treatment. If you have breakouts and a big event coming up, we can take a more aggressive approach to getting things under control. We often combine multiple treatments at the same time to get faster and better results than what you have experienced before.
