Acne affects people of all ages and is one of the top reasons for dermatologic care. There are many causes of acne including hormones, diet, genetics, lifestyle, products and even things like your cellphone and pillowcase! Blemishes can appear in the form of blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules (pimples), cysts or nodules on the face and body.
Acne should never be left untreated because it can lead to dark spots and/or permanent scars. While over-the-counter cleansers and ointments can control some people’s breakouts, others have to seek medical help for more stubborn or severe cases.
ACNE TREATMENTS @ LA DERMATOLOGY:
TheraClearX Dual-Action Device
TheraClearX combines a gentle vacuum with a broadband light to clear pores and destroy the bacteria that causes breakouts. The ultimate result is decreased sebum production, a clearer and more even skin tone, and reduced future breakouts.
Facials and Microdermabrasion - see Summer Glow promo above
Acne facials can help with mild breakouts, especially those that are non-inflammatory and characterized as whiteheads and blackheads. Facials and Microdermabrasion treatments cleanse the skin while removing bacteria, dead skin and other impurities to unclog pore and reduce inflammation.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to remove layers of skin, unclog pores, reduce sebum production and inflammation to reveal a healthier glow. We can customize peels for active acne and skin congestion, as well as acne scars and hyperpigmentation caused by breakouts.
Skin Care Products and Prescription Medication
After a thorough skin analysis and consultation to understand your medical situation and lifestyle, we can customize an acne skin care protocol with topical products or oral medication.
Acne can be extremely frustrating and embarrassing. Luckily with today’s treatments, no one has to suffer from acne. To schedule a consultation for acne, please contact us at 225-927-5663 or info@louisiana-dermatology.com.
