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
Acne Reviews
Had acne since age 14 and by 22 had forgotten what my face looked like without it. Dr. Grayman started me on a regimen that cleared my skin in 3 months (including getting rid of my hyperpigmentation). My skin has literally never looked better and I get compliments on it constantly. Not to mention that the office is beautiful with very kind and helpful staff and Dr. Grayman herself is very efficient and knowledgable.
I love this place, Dr. Grayman is the best. After 5 months my face is actually clearing up after years of acne. I would recommend to anyone looking for better skin...
Dr Grayman is kind, professional, and knowledgeable in the treatment of complex skin conditions, particularly as it relates to skin conditions that affect certain ethnicities. I travel from Jacksonville, FL to see her because I trust her that much with my skin. It was horrendous with multiple problems, including ingrown hairs, scarring, acne, and uncontrolled oiliness before seeing her. I have seen a tremendous improvement since I began seeing her several years ago. Please see Dr. Grayman and Pure skin dermatology, you won’t be disappointed!
