Acne Consultation and Treatment

A medical plan to calm active breakouts, prevent new ones and reduce the risk of scarring.

Treatment Overview

Acne is a common medical skin condition, not a hygiene problem. During your consultation the dermatologist identifies your acne type and triggers, then builds a plan that may include prescription treatments, in-clinic procedures and a simple daily routine.
