Find the best acne treatment with the professionals in Walnut Creek
It’s not unusual for patients to come to
The Skin & Laser Treatment Institute after experiencing acne. You
may be frustrated over OTC cleansers and other products that didn’t make
a difference in the appearance or feel of your skin. You’re not the
problem; the problem is companies that develop acne medication only with
younger patients in mind.
The Best Acne Treatment in Walnut Creek at
The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute considers your specific needs
and personal characteristics. For example, teenagers tend to develop
acne across the entire face due to oiliness brought on by puberty. Adult
women may notice tender, red spots around the jaw, mouth, and chin.
Changing estrogen levels during periods, pregnancy, and menopause may be
to blame. As cell turnover slows, your spots may take longer to heal
than they did in the past and can be complicated by other age-related
issues: prolonged redness, sensitivity, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.
Professional skincare to the rescue
Dr. Lee and the skin specialists understand the differences
between adult and teenaged acne, and have a myriad products,
medications, and procedures to safely and effectively treat and prevent
patients’ outbreaks. A product that you used in childhood may be
ineffective now that you’re older because it’s designed for young oily
skin. In fact, these products can make dry adult skin and acne worse,
producing more inflammation and increasing the odds that zits will leave
behind lasting reminders like scars.
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Lee may recommend:
- Prescription products and medications that contain retinoid to unplug follicles
- Hormonal therapies alone or in conjunction with other medications and therapies
- Procedures ranging from chemical peels to microdermabrasion
No single treatment is best for all patients, nor may a single product or therapy be best for you. Call (925) 528-0117 to schedule a consultation.
