Questions About Acne

Acne is the most common skin problem in the United States affecting not only teenagers, but up to 80% of people in their 20s and 30s*. Acne is a stubborn condition which is typically treated with oral and topical medications, which can produce good results but often with undesirable side effects.

We now have more ways than ever to treat acneic patients with our:

• Palomar Pulsed-Light System
• SkinCeuticals Product Line
• Obagi Medical Products

IPL (Intense Pulsed-Light) delivers concentrated light pulses that attack acne on two fronts:

1. IPL therapy destroys acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts.
2. IPL penetrates into the hyperactive sebaceous glands to slow down the production of sebum (oil), which can clog pores and cause future acne breakouts.
   

The result is a fast resolution of current breakouts and a long remission time between treatments, without any drug-related side effects.
