Acne Treatments

Acne is something that can be physically painful and emotionally distressing. It affects millions of people everyday, the common causes are:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Food intolerances
• Reactions to medications
• Medical conditions 

Many of these factors cause over-active sebaceous (or oil) glands, abnormal shedding of dead skin cells, and a proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. Sometimes this starts at puberty, and for others it will start in adulthood. Some are just left with the after affects of scarring and redness.

Whatever your skin condition is mild or severe, we can tailor your plan to your needs.

 When treating acne, it is important to know your full medical history and some family history and before treating. We may also ask you to have certain lesions checked by a doctor prior to treatment.
