What Is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the United States, affecting tens of millions of teens and adults every year. While many cases are considered mild and may be controlled with medication and a steady at-home cleaning program, some patients experience severe acne, which can lead to embarrassment and potential scarring. Acne typically presents as a combination of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and inflammation. Caused by a mix of clogged pores, dead skin cells, and bacteria, it is most often seen in teenagers but can affect adults well into their 40s. Acne most frequently shows up on the face, chest, and back. If you're suffering from chronic or severe acne, our team at Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics can help. Using our vast skin care experience and the latest treatments, we can help you attain a clearer, more radiant complexion that you'll be excited to show off. To learn more about the causes of acne and the treatment options we offer, schedule a skin assessment at our Orlando, FL dermatology office.
How Do You Treat Acne?
Over-the-counter acne solutions might be effective for mild outbreaks, but they often fall short when it comes to treating severe acne. At Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we offer advanced solutions that are designed to treat acne at the source. For some patients, we may recommend prescription treatments, such as Accutane (isotretinoin), topical creams and serums formulated with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids. We also provide customized chemical peel treatments designed to clear oil and dead skin cells from your pores while refreshing your complexion. For more severe cases, we offer cutting-edge laser acne treatments to effectively destroy acne-causing bacteria while reducing redness and inflammation. No two patients are quite the same, so we'll start with a consultation and skin assessment before building out a custom acne treatment plan to enhance your complexion.
What Are the Symptoms of Acne?
Acne symptoms can vary based on the type of acne you have and how severe it is. Some of the more common signs of acne are:
- Raised red skin
- Rough or crusty skin
- Whiteheads and/or blackheads
- Dark spots
- Scarring
- Pustules
- Cysts
Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics Reviews
I have been seeing Dr. Grayman for years. She continues to innovate and is aware of more than just the status quo in the area of skin care for many different types of people. I love that she collaborates with her colleagues in dermatology so that her patients can get the best evaluation and treatments available.
I am seeing dr. Debra for many years now. Primary for my rosacea. She is always very attentive and caring to my needs and concerns. I feel comfortable and at ease , while I know I am receiving the best possible advice and care. She has soft and calm nature , kind and respectful of her patient and very knowledgeable about her field of work. Will definitely continue my 6 months routine check ups.
Each visit has been very pleasant informative.
The doctor and her PA were very knowledgeable and efficient in diagnosing my issue and getting on the road to better skin. There was no trial and error meds given , I was given what will work.
Dr.Grayman was patient with my eczema concerns and just wonderful to talk to!
