Who Should Treat Acne?
Acne Dermatologists
Acne Treatment
Acne is a skin condition that affects millions of people of all ages and is characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts on the face, neck, back, and chest. Although it is most common during puberty, it can persist into adulthood and be a source of physical and emotional distress for many people. While over-the-counter products may be a solution for some, the best way to effectively treat acne is to see a Board Certified Dermatologist.

Additionally, Board Certified Dermatologists have access to advanced technologies and treatments that are not available over-the-counter, and can provide patients with personalized skincare regimens that are tailored to their individual skin type and needs.
