Who is a candidate for acne treatment?

Candidates for acne treatments at NY Partners Dermatology include people struggling with:

• Pustules
• Pimples
• Whiteheads
• Blackheads
• Acne scarring

You might have mild to severe acne that remains constant or comes and goes. Sometimes, acne lesions are also painful.

What may increase my risk of developing acne?

Factors that increase your risk of acne include excess oil production, being a teenager, pregnancy, middle age in women, hormone fluctuations, stress, and some medications. A family history of acne may also increase your chance of developing it. 

Which acne treatments are best for me?

The NY Partners Dermatology team examines your skin and reviews your medical history. They ask about medications you might take, your lifestyle habits, treatment preferences, and your desired results before personalizing an acne treatment plan.

What can I expect during acne treatments?

What you can expect during acne treatment depends on the severity of your acne and the treatment you receive. You might take oral medications, use creams, or undergo chemical peels, which use a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outermost skin cells. 

NY Partners Dermatology also provides light-based therapies for acne, extractions, and steroid injections that reduce nodules and cystic lesions. 

You might be a candidate for multiple acne treatments to ensure outstanding results. Over time, you can expect clearer, smoother, healthier skin. NY Partners Dermatology also offers treatments that reduce acne scarring. 

Call the office any time with questions or concerns about your treatment plan, and follow up with the NY Partners Dermatology team as needed to ensure the treatment is effective.

NY Partners Dermatology offers additional cosmetic treatments, including Botox®, dermal fillers, and others, if you’re a candidate for these aesthetics solutions.
