Acne and rosacea
Acne affects over 50 million Americans and is the most common dermatologic condition in the country. Breakouts are experienced by around 85 percent of those in their teens and early 20s, but may occur at any age . Acne can occur as a result of genetics, environmental factors, stress, diet, medications, hormones, or a combination of the above. Your dermatologist can offer the appropriate prescription medications and at-home regimen necessary to keep your skin clear and prevent acne scarring. For those who already have acne scarring, safe and effective in-office procedures are available to treat irregularities in skin texture as well as skin discoloration.
Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and broken blood vessels in the centro-facial region, and may be accompanied by acne-like breakouts. Some forms of this disorder can cause thickening of the skin or affect the eyes. Our genetics and environmental triggers come into play with rosacea. Stress, sunlight, and certain foods and beverages, such as wine, can cause rosacea to flare. With the right prescription medications and in-office procedures, as well as lifestyle modifications, you can keep your rosacea under control.
