Acne

Acne is a very common skin condition that is unfortunately surrounded by many myths regarding its care. One of the most prevalent is that you should allow your acne to run its course, but with the help of your dermatologist, you can often reduce the impact of its symptoms on your skin. Both in helping to prevent breakouts and in treating resulting acne scars.

Aging

With age, your body produces less collagen, an important protein responsible for maintaining your skin's structure. With less collagen available skin tends to lose its elasticity, becomes more dry, and can result in fine lines and wrinkles. While it's impossible to completely turn back the clock you'd be surprised by what's possible thanks to the many treatments available at your dermatologist's office. Injectables in the form of fillers and Botox can provide dramatic results without the need for surgery, and other treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser resurfacing, can all promote natural collagen production.

Dryness and Sensitivity

Dryness and sensitivity can often be the result of outside factors affecting your skin, and your dermatologist can suggest improvements to your beauty routine to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.

But if your skin is often dry and sensitive these may instead be symptoms of an underlying skin condition. Your dermatologist is especially suited to diagnose and treat a wide variety of skin conditions, so visit as early as your symptoms arise to achieve the best possible results.
