Question:
I’m a 17 year old girl, and I have quite a bit of acne. I’m desperate to get rid of it, but I can’t seem to do it. I want something that will stop the acne in its tracks! Will dermabrasion keep acne from coming back after the treatment?
Answer:
Acne can be an extremely difficult medical problem to manage. Although microdermabrasion and chemical peels with salicylic acid are extremely useful in exfoliating and cleansing the skin to help decrease the incidence of acne that our patients have been suffering from, our most effective treatment has been our Isolaz laser with Profusion. I have described the Isolaz treatments in prior blogs.
The results of the Isolaz with profusion therapy treatments have been equivalent to the results that patients have seen with the use of Accutane with significantly decreased potential side effects. Please call Renu Med Spa and Plastic Surgery and one of our staff will be happy to discuss with you the Isolaz with Profusion treatments in more detail.
