Acne Treatment Options

Schedule an Appointment

Acne is a common problem that people all over deal with. Dermatologists see acne problems every day and understand that it can be difficult to deal with. When you’re dealing with acne, you might find that you feel self-conscious or embarrassed to show your skin. You might feel like you need to cover up your acne with makeup, which can cause further problems and even more acne to appear. It’s important to know that acne treatment is different for everyone and that you have options on how to clear your skin.

Clearing Up Your Acne

Acne treatment is not one size fits all and it’s important to understand that clearing up your skin takes time. Your dermatologist may recommend several types of treatments and may even suggest doing more than one at a time. Everyone’s skin reacts differently to treatment and acne occurs for different reasons. It’s important to remember that you have options and that there are many ways to get the clear skin you’ve been wanting!

Common forms of treatment include:

  • Topical retinoids for moderate acne
  • Antibiotics if you’re dealing with bacteria
  • Salicylic acid to help unclog follicles
  • Dapsone for inflammatory acne

These medications can also be combined with different therapies to help treat your skin and the cause of your acne. Our dermatologist might recommend light therapy, chemical peels, extraction, or steroid injections. You may have to try several options and combinations before finding the one that works best for you! It’s important to talk to your dermatologist about your symptoms and find out what your best options might be.

Karen F.

I went for a facial with Reganne, and it was wonderful! She was the right balance of chatty and quiet so that I felt personally welcomed but also able to relax and soak in all the luxurious treatment. She also was so kind and considerate, being very careful which products she used because she knew I am sensitive to some fragrances. I scheduled my appointment for the end of my regular work week, and now, this evening I’m feeling fabulous!

RJ and MJ Olson

We both chose the practice for our dermatology well checks and any issues that may be discovered during those visits. Most of the practitioners have been great. I also enjoy the facial services they offer at the practice. Both estheticians I have seen there have been wonderful! They have both been very accommodating given multiple allergies that can make my skin reactive. I look forward to my time with the esthetician.

Cathy Robinson

The entire staff is courteous and very helpful. They were right on time. They work together well. They are accepting of questions and are willing to answer the questions. They offer reminders for follow up appointments. I am very pleased to be a patient of this office.

Susan Zeller

As a new patient I greatly appreciated getting an appointment with a few days of submitting my application form instead of a long wait. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant, efficient and helpful in making this happen. The service I received from my doctor was good.

David M was great in all key areas that were important to me. Skill, bedside manner, updates during the surgery and his summary after the procedure. His nurse was also first rate. Thank you both for all that you did for me. NP Donna has treated me previously at this practice and I echo my comments here for her and the nurses, reception and scheduling employees. Thank you all for a great experience

Jennifer Gemmell

This was the most pleasant doctors appointment I’ve ever experienced. The wait wasn’t too long and there were so many beautiful and interesting things to look at while I was there: beautiful art well presented with identification and background details, fascinating terrariums and other plants, and even an Asian meditation garden. Dr. Macallister was very personable, professional and thorough. I was quite happy with her care. The staff too, were professional and pleasant.

Saw Donna and Megan, had a concerning spot on my face. I needed an injection and they put me eat ease and really helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though the needle stung a little bit I was completely distracted with easy conversation to keep my mind off of what was going on. They were incredibly reassuring and informative and I love going to see them! Thank you Donna and Megan for a quick and easy visit! :)

Don Wood

Great experience from the time I arrived for the appointment til I was finished. Donna Brigham is the most professional specailist I've seen in quite some time. She is very good at explaining everything in layman's terms. Her bedside manner puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable with the procedures she is doing.
