Acne is the most common of all skin problems in the United States, affecting up to 80% of adolescents and adults at some point in their lives.
Moderate acne may include pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, while more severe acne causes deep cysts and nodules that appear as lumps under the skin.
cne occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders because these areas of the body have the most oil-producing glands.
Factors that contribute to the development of acne include the following.

epending on the severity of your condition, you may experience one or more of these acne symptoms.
Acne can leave scars and cause emotional turmoil. The good news is that many effective treatments are available, and the earlier you seek a dermatologist’s help, the more you will decrease your risk of these problems.

here are four grades of acne, and the best treatments usually involve more than one method. Our goal at Born Again Doctor Medical Center is to heal existing pimples, stop new breakouts, and prevent acne scarring.
Toward that end, we offer the best and most advanced acne treatments available today. Using the latest technologies to reduce the production of the skin’s natural oils and speed up the creation of healthy cells, we treat adult acne, teenage acne, back acne, and baby acne.
If the over-the-counter products you have tried haven’t worked, and your acne is interfering with your self-esteem or is leaving you with scars and discoloration, seek medical help. Today, we can successfully treat existing acne, prevent new breakouts, and reduce your chance of developing scars.
Our acne treatment plans are highly customized based on each individual, as no single treatment is effective for all patients. The regimens are based on your skin type, your age, and the severity of your acne. While results may take a few weeks to show up, we will find the best remedies for you so that you can gain control over your appearance and the health of your skin.
The various treatments we offer for acne include:
After an examination of your skin, we choose a prescription topical medication that is best suited to your skin type, condition, and grade of acne. These medications include alpha hydroxyl acid and Retin-A formulas. Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective bacteria killers, or we might give you a prescription for antibiotic cream.
We sometimes prescribe oral antibiotics or medications such as isotretinoin and spironolactone. Your physician will closely monitor the effectiveness of these medications.
Steroid injections are most often used for nodules and cysts, which are two types of acne that cause large, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin. These types of acne can take weeks to resolve on their own.
Chemical peels come in a variety of formulas and intensities.
These peels rejuvenate and improve the appearance and texture of the skin by removing damaged skin layers, causing them to flake off to reveal the healthier, new skin underneath.
Exfoliating dead skin cells also unclog pores and make room for more new skin cells to multiply and move up to the surface of the skin. Though you will notice a distinct improvement after only one treatment, you may see even better results after a series of peels spaced several weeks apart.

Most light-based therapies reach the deeper layers of skin
without harming the skin’s surface. Because this technology treats the deeper layers, it is one of the best solutions for treating acne scarring and its damaging effect on the skin.
Microdermabrasion is primarily used to treat acne scars rather
than acne itself. Known as “skin-sanding,” this non-chemical, minimally invasive procedure removes the very outer layer of the skin, eliminating skin depressions and smoothing the surface. Microdermabrasion is a two-phase process. First, a diamond tipped probe exfoliates the surface of your skin, creating a renewed appearance by removing dull, dead skin cells. Then, a vacuum whisks the debris away, revealing a clearer, softer complexion. For best results, microdermabrasion generally requires four to six brief in-office treatments per year.
HydraFacial is a medical grade hydradermabrasion device that delivers
a multi-stage treatment to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate the face to reveal beautifully radiant skin.
The handheld device uses water as the exfoliating medium via four different HydroPeel tips to resurface the top layer of the skin and remove dead skin cells and impurities. It is gentler on acne prone and sensitive skin than traditional microdermabrasion. The skin is infused with a variety of highly effective serums tailored to your specific skin needs.
Your HydraFacial experience can be customised according to your skin type or skin condition by incorporating add-ons or boosters to address any specific skin concerns.
Tixel is a very versatile treatment system which uses a heated plate
to deliver the required amount of heat to the surface of the skin very quickly, without damaging deeper skin tissues.
Tixel uses controlled pure heat energy to encourage the skin to renew itself. The length of exposure will vary depending to your treatment plan. Tixel is a customisable treatment with three unique applications, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your skin’s needs, it can operate in three modes – ablative, non-ablative, and open channel.
Born Again Doctor Medical Center uses micro needling 
and radio frequency to fight acne. A trained and qualified physician punctures the sebaceous gland with a sterile micro needle after applying a numbing topical. Next, radio frequency energy is delivered through the needle, destroying the sebaceous gland. The procedure is painless with very little recovery time needed. Note: The energy from the needle will not touch the skin, only the sebaceous gland.
This procedure involves using an injectable
dermal filler to minimize the depressions of acne scars. These fillers are not permanent, however, and typically last about 9-12 months.
We sometimes prescribe deep-cleansing acne facials as part of your acne treatment. These soothing facials include blackhead extractions, and a healing facial mask.
