What is Acne?
Acne is among the most common skin conditions in the U.S., impacting around 60 million people annually. While many cases are considered mild and can be controlled with medication and a consistent at-home cleansing routine, many patients have it so severely that scarring can occur. Acne can be a mix of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, small cysts, and other red, itchy, and swollen areas of the skin. Caused by a combination of dead skin cells, bacteria, and clogged pores, it is most often found in teenagers but can affect adults well into their 40s. Acne most often shows up on the face, chest, and back. To return the skin to a healthy and clear appearance, the team at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in Devon, PA can offer numerous treatment options, ranging from personalized at-home regimens to medications and laser treatments.
How is acne treated?
Research indicates that store-bought medications do not treat severe acne effectively. Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania offers numerous treatment options to control and manage acne and clear its common symptoms. For less severe cases of acne, prescription medications like topical solutions and creams that contain sulfur, retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, and azelaic acid may help. Oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline or minocycline, can also be helpful. Along with topical and oral prescriptions, laser treatments have also proven effective. Laser treatment can decrease redness and other pigmentation problems linked with acne and also help to exfoliate the skin.

Acne Treatment Reviews
Stephanie is an efficient dermatology provider who takes the time to listen to her patients and always go the extra mile. I have been treated for acne and cosmetic visits; there’s always a concise effective plan and I am always happy with my results!
Stephanie was great! She listened to me, which is what I was looking for and she talked to me about all of my options to help my hormonal acne and didn’t force anything upon me that I didn’t want to try. I felt really good leaving the office and am very excited to start the products she recommended me, and I can’t wait to see her again in 3 months for a follow up! Highly recommend!
I have struggled with adult acne for a long long time and I always feel self-conscious and the staff has been nothing less than wonderful and accommodating. I feel like everything I say and ask is heard. There is never a wait either!
I’ve been treating my acne with her, and she’s amazing! No expensive or extremely long routines — my skin changed while I was just living my normal life.I’m so happy with my progress!
Stephanie is amazing! My 15 year old daughter struggled with acne for a while before we were referred to see Stephanie. The Dermotologist she saw before her was not helpful and gave her products that did not help. We were frustrated as they made it seem like there weren’t many options. Stephanie not only directed us to products that worked, but also gave us a plan in the instance that she needed something different to clear her acne. My daughter’s face has completely cleared up and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. I rarely take the time to do reviews, but Stephanie is so amazing that if you know someone who is struggling with acne, please send them her way! They will not be disappointed! Stephanie’s bedside manner is also fantastic! 11 out of 10!!
