Acne Treatment
What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that can cause one or more of the following:
- Blackheads
- Whiteheads
- Pimples
- Acne cysts or nodules (deep, painful breakouts)
The goals of acne treatment are to:
- Clear existing acne
- Stop new breakouts
- Prevent acne scars
Type of treatment:
Corticosteroid injection: To relieve the swelling and pain caused by a large, painful acne breakout, your dermatologist may inject a medication called a corticosteroid into an acne breakout. Treating acne this way can also reduce the patient’s risk of developing an acne scar.
Chemical peel: When applied to acne, a chemical peel helps remove dead skin cells that are clogging your pores and excess oil. This can help clear acne.
Laser or light treatments: Laser or light-based therapy may be part of a treatment plan for mild-to-moderate acne.
Acne surgery: During this procedure, also called acne extraction, your dermatologist physically removes acne breakouts.
Rejuvenation Treatment
What is the purpose of rejuvenation?
Rejuvenation is the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a means of life extension, but most life extension strategies do not involve rejuvenation.

- Non-ablative lasers
- Chemical peels
