Acne Treatment

Acne treatment aims to address and manage the common skin condition characterized by inflamed, clogged pores, and the presence of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. There are various effective approaches to treat acne, ranging from topical creams and gels to oral medications and professional procedures. These treatments target the underlying causes of acne, such as excess oil production, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammation. Topical treatments containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid help to unclog pores and reduce bacteria. Oral medications like antibiotics or hormonal treatments may be prescribed for more severe cases. Additionally, professional procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can aid in improving acne and minimizing scarring. An individualized approach is crucial to identify the best treatment plan based on the severity of the acne and the unique needs of each patient, ultimately restoring clear and healthy skin.

FAQ
  • How does Botox work?
    Botox targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with Botox to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines temporarily look better.
  • Will my face look overdone or unnatural?
    Botox is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust our professionals to deliver subtle results when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done. Compare the before and after pictures of real patients in our gallery, and see the difference for yourself.
  • Is Botox only for women?
    Not at all! Many men make Botox part of what they do to care for their appearance. The number of men choosing treatments like Botox has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum toxin treatments. When surveyed, the majority of men say they want to look good and they're bothered by the changes they see in the mirror. 80% would choose to treat their crow's feet first, while 74% would prioritize their forehead lines, and 60% would most like to treat their frown lines.
  • How old should I be before doing Botox?
    It's not your age that determines when Botox is right for you, it's the severity of your lines. In fact, 64% of plastic surgeons report seeing a rise in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments for patients in their early 30’s. The truth is, everyone's lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. Whenever your lines start to bother you, comes speak with us and get a consultation!
  • How long is each treatment and does it hurt?
    Your specialist will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If they deem you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with Botox feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
  • Will I see results quickly? How long do the results last?
    You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days, with results lasting up to four months for moderate to severe frown lines. Remember that results vary from patient to patient though, so your physician will plan your next appointment based on your results and aesthetic goals.
  • How long is the recovery time?
    Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
  • How many injections will I receive?
    Treatment with Botox is customized to your goals and needs. When you meet with your specialist, he or she will determine the appropriate treatment for any areas you wish to address, including moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines. Remember, only Botox is approved to treat all three of these areas. For the crow’s feet area, your specialist will inject 3 areas of the muscle that frames the side of the eye. This will be repeated on the muscle that frames the other eye. For the frown lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and in your forehead. For the forehead lines area, your specialist will administer 5 injections into a muscle in your forehead.
  • What are some side effects that could occur?
    Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow's feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. Other possible side effects include: dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight and dry eyes; and allergic reactions. These are not all of the possible serious side effects of Botox.
