There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for acne. For this reason, our skilled providers in Brunswick, Medina, Strongsville, Wadsworth, and Wooster, Ohio, will work hand in hand with you to create a customized treatment plan that takes into addresses your unique needs. We provide a range of excellent acne treatments, such as:
Topical Medications
Lotions, gels, and creams are applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria that cause acne, as well as prevent clogged pores, which are a significant cause of breakouts.
Antibiotics
In some instances, oral antibiotics may be required to treat bacterial overgrowth and deep-seated inflammation, especially in cases of moderate to severe acne.
Birth Control Pills
In women particularly, hormonal imbalances can be a contributing factor to acne. Birth control pills can help control hormones and lessen the frequency of breakouts brought on by hormonal fluctuations.
Laser Treatments
Advanced laser therapy is a powerful method that can help improve the general texture and tone of the skin as well as lessen the appearance of acne scars. Innovative laser therapies were created especially for the safe and efficient treatment of mild to severe acne.
Beyond Acne Awareness Month
Although June is designated as Acne Awareness Month, many people worry about acne year-round. You may be wondering:
Why Do My Acne Scars Look Worse Some Days?
There are a few reasons why acne scars might appear more noticeable on some days than others. These include:
- Sun exposure: Sun damage can make scars look worse. To protect your skin, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day– even on overcast days.
- Inflammation: Inflammation can be brought on by new acne outbreaks, which worsens the redness and swelling of pre-existing scars.
- Dehydration: Your skin may appear more wrinkled and deeper scars may show when it is dehydrated.
