At Dermatology Associates of Northern Virginia, now a part of U.S. Dermatology Partners, we are dedicated to helping individuals achieve the results they desire and offer a variety of treatments for patients suffering from conditions such as acne.
What is Acne?
Acne is a condition that is caused by inflammation and can affect patients of all ages – not just teenagers. This condition results in the development of blackheads, pimples, and pustules on the face or body that can be painful and unsightly. Many patients with severe cases of acne are often self-conscious about their appearance. They may stay away from certain social situations because of how they look. In many cases, it leaves acne scars that are treatable with the assistance of a dermatologist.
Are Acne Scars Treatable?
Yes! There are several ways to address acne scars based on the type and severity. They may include treatments such as:
- Microdermabrasion
- Laser skin resurfacing
- Cosmetic injectables
To determine the treatment right for your condition, or to diagnose the specific variety of acne scar present schedule an initial evaluation with a dermatologist who will be able to offer suggestions for the most effective solution.
What if I have Acne Scars with Active Acne?
The best way to treat acne scars is to address the active acne first. Patients will work with their dermatologist to find a skin regimen that works best for tackling their current acne problem. Once that is under control, the dermatologist can then make suggestions for the treatment of acne scars that may be present on the skin.
