Which Acne Treatment Is Best for You?

How your dermatologists in Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, and Cumming, GA, can help you have clear skin.

Acne can affect both men and women, however, adult acne is more common in women for a few reasons. Fortunately, your dermatologist can help you have clear skin by treating acne and reducing acne breakouts.

The dermatologists at Atlanta Center for Dermatologic Diseases provide comprehensive dermatology services, including treatments for acne. They have several convenient office locations in Georgia including Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, and Cumming, GA, to help you.

Acne is caused by a combination of bacteria, clogged pores, excess oil, dirt, and debris. Acne can also be caused by hormonal fluctuations. Women are more prone to acne because of:

  • Wearing makeup and skincare products which can clog pores
  • Hormonal changes during puberty and menstruation
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause

Whatever is causing your acne, whether you are a man or a woman, your dermatologist has the answers and treatment you and your skin need.

These are just a few of the professional treatments your dermatologist may recommend:

For mild acne, products containing benzoyl peroxide can be helpful to unblock clogged pores.

For mild to moderate acne, topical and oral antibiotics are helpful to kill the underlying bacteria which is infecting your pores.

For whiteheads and blackheads, tretinoin products help to clear out material blocking your pores.

For whiteheads and blackheads, extraction treatment which uses an instrument to remove the entire blemish can be effective.

Your dermatologist may also recommend laser therapy which uses heat and light to kill the underlying bacteria causing your acne.
