Advanced acne treatment at Dermatology & Aesthetic Care
What is Acne?
Acne is a buildup caused by clogged pores and hair follicles. This buildup causes inflammation that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Pimples can cause discomfort and are often considered unsightly.
Acne breakouts can take time to heal if left untreated. If treated improperly, acne can also cause scarring.
Acne outbreaks occur without warning, but there are treatment options that can help you enjoy clear, smooth skin faster. Our board-certified dermatologists can help develop a plan with the industry’s leading treatments based on your specific needs.
