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.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
Very kind, made me feel comfortable, despite being insecure about my acne.
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!
