Acne Diagnosis & Treatment, Including Accutane

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to inflammation, pimples, and other skin blemishes. At Revere Health, our dermatology specialists offer comprehensive acne diagnosis and treatment tailored to each patient’s skin type and acne severity. Whether it’s mild, moderate, or severe acne, we provide effective solutions, including topical treatments, oral medications, and Accutane for severe cases, to help patients achieve clearer skin and improved confidence.

Types of Acne Treated
Comedonal Acne: Whiteheads and blackheads caused by clogged pores.
Inflammatory Acne: Red, swollen pimples or pustules caused by bacterial infection or inflammation in the pores.
Cystic Acne: Deep, painful cysts beneath the skin’s surface, often requiring more aggressive treatment.
Nodular Acne: Large, hard bumps that form deep in the skin and are more difficult to treat.

Treatment Options for Acne
Topical Treatments: These include creams, gels, or lotions that contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, or antibiotics to help reduce oil production, unclog pores, and prevent bacteria growth.
Oral Medications: For more persistent or severe acne, oral antibiotics, birth control pills (for hormonal acne), or oral retinoids can be prescribed to reduce inflammation and bacterial growth.
Accutane (Isotretinoin): A powerful oral medication used to treat severe cystic acne that has not responded to other treatments. Accutane reduces oil production in the skin, shrinks sebaceous glands, and prevents new acne from forming.

What to Expect from Accutane Treatment
Severe Acne Solution: Accutane is often recommended for patients with severe, scarring, or cystic acne that has not improved with other treatments. It is highly effective but requires close monitoring due to potential side effects.
Monitoring and Care: Patients taking Accutane will be closely monitored by their healthcare provider, including regular blood tests and skin evaluations to ensure the treatment is working safely.
Long-Term Results: Many patients experience long-term remission of acne after completing a course of Accutane, making it one of the most effective treatments for severe acne.

Benefits of Acne Treatment
Clearer Skin: Effective treatment reduces acne breakouts, minimizes scarring, and leads to clearer, smoother skin.
Boosted Confidence: Addressing acne concerns can significantly improve self-esteem and quality of life, especially for individuals struggling with severe or persistent acne.
Preventing Scarring: Early and consistent treatment can help prevent permanent scarring from severe acne.
