Which treatments are best for stubborn acne?

It can be a challenge to find effective treatments and products for acne. In terms of at-home skincare products, it is important to utilize products that do not contain harmful ingredients. Mineral oil is commonly used in low-quality products and can prevent effective acne treatment. Also, the active ingredients need to be delivered deep in the pore. Some products cannot achieve this, which may result in damage to the upper layers of the skin, causing redness and irritation. We recommend you speak with the skincare team at your local medical spa. Most medical spas have several safe and effective at-home regimens to treat acne. Laser treatments, chemical peels and acne facials are also treatment options. We also encourage our clients to increase consumption of vegetables and decrease consumption of processed food. Healthy skin begins from the inside out.

There are many other treatments available to you to treat your acne that are
not over the counter medications.
We have several oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics and many other types
of topical medications. We can also use Accutane to try and "cure" your
acne.
If you don't want to treat your problem with oral medications we can use
different lasers to treat your acne. I personally have 3 different kinds of laser treatments in my office. So
don't give up. You have lots of treatment choices available to you.
See a Dermatologist to customize a plan just for you. Just be patient,
It can take a couple of months for the treatments to start working.
