Acne Medical Facials

Acne vulgaris is a skin condition that affects nearly everyone to a various degrees. Over 90% of all adolescents and 25% of adults have problems with acne, the symptoms of which can sometimes be severe enough to cause physical and psychological stress.

Acne is the result of many interacting factors. The primary problem is the overproduction of oil that is produced by the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles of the skin. When the ducts of these secretory glands are blocked due the buildup of the overlying dead skin layer, acne bacteria proliferate inside the follicle, forming "pimples" that cause swelling, inflammation and redness. Hormones have a regulatory part in the activity of sebaceous glands, therefore, acne is a disease prevalent not only in teens, but in premenopausal women. Severe cases of acne can form pustules and deep cysts under the skin, ultimately leaving scars, redness or pigmentation which can be permanent. While there is no cure for this skin condition, acne can be controlled and managed with the aid of your dermatologist and good skin care regimes.

MD Laser Skin Clinic offers microdermabrasion treatments and a variety of chemical peels and medical facials to improve the tone and texture of your skin. Our skin consultant is available by appointment to assess your skin to help improve acne scars and particularly, to address those stubborn areas of redness and pigmentation. It is a slow process to good skin but excellent care will reveal nice skin with time and patience!
