Expert Dermatology Care for Acne at Every Age

Whether you're a teenager experiencing your first breakouts or an adult struggling with persistent acne, our experienced dermatology providers offer personalized treatment plans to help clear your skin, reduce inflammation, and prevent long-term scarring.

Is It Acne?

Clearer Skin Starts with the Right Diagnosis

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting millions of teens and adults each year. While occasional breakouts are common, persistent acne can impact your confidence and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent scarring.

Our providers take the time to understand your skin, identify contributing factors, and develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help you achieve healthier, clearer skin.

Common Types of Acne

Understanding Your Breakouts

Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all. Identifying the type of acne you have helps determine the most effective treatment plan.

Whiteheads

Clogged pores that remain closed beneath the surface of the skin.

Blackheads

Open pores filled with oil and dead skin cells that darken when exposed to air.

Papules & Pustules

Inflamed red bumps that may become tender or contain pus.

Nodules & Cysts

Larger, deeper breakouts that can be painful and are more likely to cause permanent scarring without treatment.

What Causes Acne?

More Than Just Oily Skin

Several factors can contribute to acne, including:

  • Excess oil production
  • Clogged pores
  • Bacteria
  • Hormonal changes
  • Genetics
  • Certain medications
  • Stress
  • Friction from helmets, hats, or athletic equipment

 

Acne isn’t caused by poor hygiene, and scrubbing your skin too aggressively can often make breakouts worse.

We’ll work with you to find an approach that fits your lifestyle while helping you achieve healthier, clearer skin.

Frequently asked questions

Q1: When should I see a dermatologist for acne?

If over-the-counter products aren't improving your skin after several weeks, your acne is painful, causing scars, or affecting your confidence, it's a good time to schedule an evaluation.

Yes. Adult acne is common and may be influenced by hormones, stress, medications, or genetics. Our providers treat acne in both teens and adults.

Some cases improve with time, but many require medical treatment to prevent ongoing breakouts and permanent scarring. Early treatment often leads to better outcomes.

Yes. Once your acne is under control, several treatment options may help improve the appearance of acne scars. Your provider can recommend the best approach based on your skin and scar type.

Not necessarily. Non-comedogenic makeup products are designed not to clog pores. Proper cleansing at the end of the day is also important for maintaining healthy skin.

Many patients begin noticing improvement within 6 to 8 weeks, although some treatments may take longer to reach their full effect. Consistency and following your treatment plan are key to achieving the best results.
