Pimples NYC Treatment Center
Understanding Acne:
Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne, starts when oil and dead skin cells clog your pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or zits. Mild acne presents as a few red spots, while severe acne can cover the face, neck, chest, and back with hundreds of pimples or painful cysts.
Acne often begins in adolescence due to hormonal changes but can persist into adulthood, especially in women around their menstrual cycles. Emotional impact varies, with some individuals unaffected by severe acne, while others may feel distressed over mild breakouts.
Causes of Acne:
Acne results from clogged pores filled with oil and dead skin cells. Germs entering the pores can cause swelling, redness, and pus. Although diet is not directly responsible for acne, using oily skin products can exacerbate the condition. Acne can also be hereditary.
Symptoms:
Acne manifests as whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples on the face, neck, shoulders, back, or chest. Large, deep pimples, known as cystic lesions, can be painful and may scar the skin if infected.
Treatment Options:
At Pimples NYC Treatment Center, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to help manage and clear acne:
Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter creams with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid are effective for mild acne. Consistent use is crucial for seeing results, typically within 6-8 weeks.
Prescription Treatments: For persistent acne, Dr. Gary Rothfeld may prescribe stronger topical agents or oral medications, including antibiotics or certain birth control pills for women.
Advanced Treatments: For severe cases, treatments may include oral isotretinoin, which is highly effective but requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects. Alternatives include high-dose antibiotics and hormonal treatments.
Acne Scar Treatments: We offer various procedures to improve the appearance of acne scars, such as laser therapy, microdermabrasion, and injectable fillers like Juvederm.
Comprehensive Acne Management:
Effective acne management involves keeping the skin clean, avoiding pore-clogging products, and using noncomedogenic skin care. Dr. Rothfeld emphasizes a personalized approach, tailoring treatments to each patient's specific needs and skin type.
