Millions of teenagers and adults go through countless acne products and acne treatments with disappointing results. Most of our patients have tried home acne treatments and other Medical treatments with less than ideal results. We will be glad to evaluate you and formulate a treatment plan based on your prior treatment history and skin type. Our goal is long term Acne control and healthy skin with as little Medication as possible.
Remember, Acne is a chronic skin condition and there are no "quick fixes". Our Patients have had excellent results with skin care, supplements, lifestyle adjustments and regular follow ups. We accept Medical Insurance for Acne treatments.
Acne starts with clogging of sebaceous follicles with abnormal oil, sebum,dead cells and bacteria. Various factors such as stress, hormonal changes, excessive sweating etc. may contribute to production of abnormal oil and sebum leading to blocked pores. Subsequent Bacterial overgrowth leads to infection and formation of pustules and cysts.
There are various treatment options for Acne. Conventional Acne treatments consist of use of Antibiotics, topical drying agents and even Oral contraceptive pills. To treat Acne with Antibiotics alone is treating a symptom of the condition without addressing the cause. Topical agents such as Retin A are exceedingly irritating, drying, cause photosensitivity and chronic redness.
Dr. Malik treats Acne from inside out, combining multiple modalities with daily skin care and oral Vitamin/Mineral supplements to improve skin health leading to fewer breakouts over long time.
We have a customized plan for each individual patient after a thorough evaluation and it consists of:
-
Treatment phase
- Maintenance phase
Treatment phase is aimed at aggressively reducing active acne lesions and preventing formation of new lesions with a combination of office Medical procedures, chemical peel, laser, ipl, acne skin products.
Maintenance phase is aimed at keeping Acne lesions at minimum and reducing any scarring and skin texture irregularities with skin products, oral supplements and some in office treatments for long term results.
Both phases include diet and lifestyle modifiication advice, daily skin care products and Vitamin/Mineral supplements for healthy, acne free comlexion for life!
