Care and Treatment of Acne
Expertise in Acne Treatment
We understand that not all acne is created equal, and will work with you to design a personalized acne treatment that fits for your acne type, severity and lifestyle. Stanford dermatologists are experts in using topical and systemic acne medications to treat your acne. Our doctors specialize in treating women with hormonal acne, and often work closely with colleagues in Endocrinology and OB/GYN to help treat patients with acne that is associated with the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Acne specialists also collaborate to treat acne scarring and dyspigmentation as well as unwanted facial hair that is commonly seen in patients with hormonal acne.
The Stanford Dermatology Acne Specialty Clinic offers the following types of treatment for your acne:
Chemical peels for acne and acne scarring
Certain solutions can peel away old skin — revealing a new layer that's often smoother, less wrinkled and more evenly colored.
Photodynamic therapy is a precise, patient friendly way to treat some skin cancers and precancerous growths caused by sun damage.
Non-ablative and ablative laser for acne scarring
Oral vitamins and minerals (i.e. Zinc therapy)
Oral isotretinoin (i.e. Accutane)
Oral antibiotics
Oral contraceptive pills and Spironolactone for hormonal acne
Laser hair removal
The process in which unwanted hair is removed via exposure to light pulses that destroy the hair follicle.
Non-traditional over the counter products such as topical vitamin B3 (nicanamide) and tea tree oil
Traditional over the counter acne treatments such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acne
Topical antibiotics
Topical retinoids (i.e. Retin-A)
