Our Sarasota patients inquire regarding chronic acne problems, and sometime have scarring. Acne in our Sarasota practice is approached very differently than that would be approached in a dermatologist’s office. At our Sarasota clinic, we approach acne in a very holistic and integrative manner. Acne represents the blockage of a “pore” of a hair follicle, which creates what are called "pimples" and may cause scarring. That “pore” could be blocked for a number of reasons; it could be hormonal, as in many cases of adolescents. In some cases it is a result of food allergies. The most important aspect of treating acne and the resultant scarring is to determine the contributing factors to the problem. Not all acne problems are the same so all patients that come to our Sarasota office with acne scarring cannot be treated the same. Chronic antibiotic use is not the answer for acne, neither in topical form nor systemic. Repeated use of skin peels, topicals, or micro-dermabrasions are not the answer for acne or the scarring that comes with it. The best advice for treating acne and acne scarring is to be comprehensively evaluated by a facial plastic surgeon at our practice in Sarasota that is also well-trained in skin care, especially trained, not only in conventional therapies, but also the alternative options. Your comprehensive acne evaluation we perform in Sarasota will include a search for underlying hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, and skin hygiene regimens. Once the data is evaluated an individualized acne treatment program is designed by our practice in Sarasota and specific to the patients’ needs that are focused on decreasing inflammation and minimizing the resultant scarring that often comes from long-term acne.
At our practice in Sarasota we developed medical grade topical products that are designed to be able to cleanse the skin and to minimize the chance of bacterial contamination of those follicular units, thereby decreasing the probability of acne and subsequent scarring. The best chance of resolving your acne is to work cooperatively with a physician at our Sarasota office in a holistic manner. This includes changing your diet and habits where appropriate, and applying the right treatments and skincare products. Together these make a sensible and effective skin hygiene program, which can also include regular deep pore cleansing facials that we provide in our office in Sarasota.
If you are interested in our skincare products and programs, or want to schedule a deep pore cleansing facial to get rid of acne or acne scarring, please contact our Sarasota office today and schedule a consultation.
