Acne Treatment

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages and skin types.

Advances in dermatology and aesthetic medicine have enabled the effective management of acne, reducing inflammation, preventing future breakouts, and minimizing scarring.

Understanding Acne Treatment

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to breakouts that range from mild blackheads and whiteheads to more severe cysts and nodules. While acne is often associated with adolescence, many adults also experience persistent or recurring breakouts. Beyond the physical symptoms, acne can impact self-confidence and leave behind scarring or pigmentation issues. Fortunately, advanced treatments can effectively target the root causes of acne, reduce breakouts, and improve skin clarity.

What are the Options for Acne Treatment?

Acne treatment is not one-size-fits-all, as every patient’s skin type, acne severity, and concerns are unique. Dr. Hedayati offers a range of advanced treatments designed to target acne at its source while improving overall skin health:

Topical and Oral Treatments

For patients who require additional skincare support may decide to incorporate medical-grade topical and/or oral treatments into their routine. Dr. Hedayati provides comprehensive acne care using evidence-based topical and oral treatments, including personalized skincare regimens, oral antibiotics, spironolactone, and isotretinoin (Accutane) when appropriate. Each plan is tailored to the individual’s skin type and acne severity to ensure safe, effective, and lasting results.

Manual Extractions

Manual extractions involve the careful removal of clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads using sterile instruments to minimize trauma to the skin. This in-office procedure helps reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and support faster acne clearance when combined with a targeted treatment plan.

Yes—research shows that high-glycemic foods (like white bread, sugary snacks, and sweetened drinks) and dairy products—especially skim milk—can worsen acne in some people. Diets rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and low-glycemic carbs may help reduce breakouts and support clearer skin.
