Using the most technologically advanced equipment, Acne and Acne Scarring treatment is performed by Dr. Ramin R. Samadi and other highly trained, board-certified physicians and medical providers of Artisan Aesthetics. Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that is secondary to the clogging of the pores of hair follicles’ sebaceous glands. Any hair containing area of the skin can be afflicted by acne. Close to 85% of adolescents and millions of adults suffer from this condition. Acne is not a ‘cosmetic” disorder. It has a significant impact on the sense of well being, social life and confidence level of those who suffer from it. Acne is not a disorder that “you just grow out of it”. With proper treatment and care, acne can be successfully treated. Hormonal changes and other factors that stimulate the production of oil (sebum) in the sebaceous glands will result in the blockage of the pores and the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads. With the rupture of the follicle, the interaction between ever present P.acne bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells result into small infected areas known as pimples (pustules). Enlargement and deepening of these infected areas will cause painful cysts. Upon their healing, cysts may transform into discolored and depressed or flat scars. Acne has many forms and its treatment must be individually designed. Acne can be successfully treating with a combination of medical grade skin care products, topical and oral medications, Medical Micro-Peels, non-laser LED Blue and Red Light Therapy, and Laser technology. Acne scarring can also be treated or modified with treatment modalities such as Medical Micro-Peels, IPL and Laser technologies, and Soft Tissue Filler-Restylane® injections.
