Growing up, we always heard that acne only affects teenagers, but now as adults, we wonder why these blemishes have stuck with us through our 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. The fact is that anyone at any age can suffer from acne, and it can look different from one person to the next. Blemishes can appear in the form of blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules (pimples), cysts or nodules on the face and body.

There are many causes of acne including hormones, diet, genetics, lifestyle, products and even things like your cellphone and pillowcase!

Acne should never be left untreated because it can lead to dark spots and/or permanent scars. While over-the-counter washes and ointments can control some people’s breakouts, others have to seek medical help for more stubborn or severe cases. After a thorough skin analysis and consultation to understand your medical situation and lifestyle, we customize an acne treatment protocol.

If your at-home protocol isn’t clearing up your skin, give us a call to schedule an acne consultation: 504-777-3047
