Acne affects over 40 million Americans every year.  While acne is often thought of as something that only teenagers get, the fact is that many adults suffer from acne as well.  Severe acne outbreaks can be embarrassing and cause low self-esteem and low self-confidence, but luckily there are treatments available that are safe and effective.

Acne can affect anyone, regardless of diet or age.  It is best to try to treat acne early, as severe breakouts can lead to scarring if left untreated.  There are a variety of ways to treat acne depending on the individual, so it is a good idea to visit a dermatologist to try to find the best one.

There are a number of oral and topical treatments available to treat acne, but if these don’t work well enough, there are more intense treatments as well.  Maryland Laser Skin and Vein offers photodynamic therapy as well as chemical peels and laser treatments that target acne as well as acne scars.  The appropriate treatment for the individual patient will be determined following a thorough consultation.

Acne and acne scars are conditions that tend to make people extremely self-conscious.  Here at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein, we understand what acne sufferers are going through, and we want to help them as best we can.  This is why we offer a wide variety of different treatment types so that we can find the best treatment for each person.

Some people may wait for acne to clear up on its own, only to find that it never does.  The causes of acne are as varied as the people who get it, and it can strike almost anyone. Acne scarring is more difficult to clear and longer-lasting than active acne, making it a good idea to seek treatment as soon as possible. Acne is by no means an insurmountable condition, and men and women can raise their quality of life by finding the right treatment.

Acne scarring is an unfortunate side effect of severe acne outbreaks.  However, nowadays, there are laser treatments as well as less invasive peels or microneedling treatments that can help quite a bit in smoothing the skin.  Acne scars do not have to be a permanent condition in today’s world.

If you or a loved one is affected by acne and looking for the right treatment, get in touch with the dermatology team at Maryland Laser Skin and Vein today.  By scheduling an appointment, you can learn about what treatment is right for your unique skin and acne. Acne treatment results vary for each patient.
