What is Acne?
One of the most common chronic skin conditions in the United States, this condition can affect both adolescents and adults, and in many cases does not go away on its own. Acne is characterized by:
- Blackheads
- Whiteheads
- Papules
- Pustules
- Cysts
- Nodules
While it is most common on the face, this condition can also appear on the back, chest, neck, shoulders, upper arms, and buttocks.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is primarily caused when the pores in the skin become clogged. Typically this happens when dead skin cells become trapped inside of the pores instead of rising to the surface and being shed by the body. Acne can also develop as a result of the P. acnes bacteria on the skin causing infection inside of the pores and causing inflammation. Deeper infections can also cause cysts and nodules to appear on the skin surface.
Professional Acne Treatment
There are many over-the-counter products that claim to clear the skin, but many of these do not contain medical-grade ingredients and can end up exacerbating this condition and leading to further breakouts and irritation.

- Increase your self-esteem by clearing your skin and improving your appearance
- Reduce the risk of developing scars or dark spots as a result of your blemishes
- Provide patient-centered treatments that directly benefit your unique skin condition
