Acne affects millions of people in this country alone. If you are struggling with acne, know that you are not alone. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, and it can affect people of different ages with a variety of skin conditions and backgrounds. One thing should be clear–acne is nothing to be ashamed of. We understand that it can be frustrating to have acne that is resistant to treatment. We’ve treated many patients who, before coming to us, had little to no success in treating their acne. This can lead to issues like lowered confidence and self-esteem. Our team at Modern Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is dedicated to helping you find a treatment that works, allowing you to feel beautiful and comfortable in your own skin again. 

What Are Comprehensive Acne Treatments? 

Comprehensive acne treatments consist of various methods that our practice uses to treat our patients who are struggling with acne. In many cases, patients might require a combination of treatments and techniques to get a desired outcome. To personalize your treatment, we will need to consult with you and examine your skin to determine what treatments would work best with your skin type. We also need to discuss previous treatments you’ve tried and how they have affected your skin. Comprehensive acne treatments are a collaborative process. We want to work closely with you to figure out the best steps toward clear skin. After all, you’re the expert of your own body, and we trust the information you give us about your skin. 

Who Is a Candidate for Comprehensive Acne Treatments? 

Candidates for comprehensive acne treatments can vary depending on the treatment. For certain treatments, pregnant or nursing people might not be ideal candidates. People with increased skin sensitivity or people taking certain medications may not be viable candidates for certain techniques. Ideal patients are relatively healthy and don’t smoke, or are willing to stop smoking in the period of time leading up to treatment. Candidates are also people who have a collaborative spirit and realistic expectations. Developing the perfect treatment takes teamwork, and it also might take time to see ideal results. Some treatments require multiple sessions. It’s important for us to work together to get you on track to having skin you can be proud of. 

What to Expect During a Comprehensive Acne Treatment 

What to expect during a comprehensive acne treatment can vary greatly depending on the type of treatment or procedure you’re receiving. In general, be prepared to stop taking certain medications before the treatment, especially ones that increase skin sensitivity or keep the blood from being able to clot properly. We’ll give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for your treatment, as well as what to expect, during your consultation. 

Comprehensive Acne Treatment Aftercare 

Most comprehensive acne treatments don’t require significant downtime. Many, however, do require patients to keep up with cleansing and moisturizing the skin. It’s important to limit sun exposure after treatment. If you do need to go out and spend time in the sun, make sure you’re wearing a high-quality sunscreen that will protect your skin. Try to avoid excessively touching the treated area. Depending on the type of treatment, we’ll give you thorough instructions on how to make sure you’re healing properly and on your way to clearer skin.
