Cystic acne is a very common problem to have if you are a teenager or young adult. The development of pimples on the face can cause localized inflammation and eventually lead to transient or permanent scarring. Facial redness, painful pimples and pustules, and atrophic scars are all common consequences of cystic acne.
Kare Plastic Surgery and Skin Health Center is a leading dermatologic clinic in Santa Monica with a comprehensive treatment array of lasers, chemical peels, and skin treatments that can help improve acne scars on the face and body. Our expert clinicians, both board-certified plastic surgeons and Nurse Practitioners, are trained in the most advanced techniques for skin health.
If you are suffering from constant breakouts, we have options to help reduce the severity and frequency of your cystic acne. Our goal is to minimize the amount of acne that you get, reduce the severity of the acne, and help improve time to resolution. Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed cysts can all be treated with lasers, RF, and chemical peels. Below are a few options to improve your cystic acne in our Santa Monica office. We strive to be the top medical destination should you desire a place to treat your pimples.
Microfractional Laser: This is an excellent option for patients with ongoing clogged pores and frequent skin breakouts with acne and pimples. The microfractional laser is safe on the skin and can help exfoliate the stratum corneum so that you have less clogged pores and keratin buildup. The result is smoother skin with less visible pores and pimples. The laser also helps smooth out fine imperfections from old acne scars.
Melapeel Acne Chemical Peel: Mild to moderate exfoliation has been shown to reduce acne breakouts and counter the harmful inflammatory effects of acne-causing bacteria that are seen in patients with pimples and breakouts. The Melapeel Acne Chemical Peel has keratolytic, tyronsinase-inhibiting, and exfoliating effects that can help reduce the severity of your breakouts and smooth your skin.
