ACNE

Acne is the most common skin disease in adolescence.

It can continue into adulthood (20% men and 35% women).It typically affects  the areas where there is the densest population of sebaceous glands and hair follicles(face,upper arm, shoulder,upper chest and back).

​

  They can leave scars and pigmentation behind. Successful acne treatment varies from individual to individual.

At Skincare, we offer an array of treatments that include both topical and oral medications along with chemical peels and injectables.

Besides eliminating the root causes of acne the goal of treatment is to minimize the damage caused by pimples such as open pores,scars and pigmentation.
