What is acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting teens and adults alike. It develops when your pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria, leading to breakouts ranging from small blackheads to deeper, painful cysts.
While acne isn’t dangerous, it can affect your comfort, confidence, and skin’s long-term appearance if it leads to scarring. The CSC Steil Dermatology team provides professional acne care. They help you understand what’s causing your breakouts and offer treatments that truly address the problem rather than just cover it up.
Are there different types of acne treatment?
There are several types of acne treatment, and the right approach often depends on your skin type, symptom severity, and treatment goals.
Common options include:
- Topical medications that reduce oil, bacteria, and inflammation
- Oral medications that help regulate hormones or calm deeper acne
- Chemical peels that exfoliate your skin and unclog pores
- Light and laser therapies that target bacteria and reduce redness
- Medical-grade skincare routines tailored to your daily needs
Your provider may recommend a combination of treatments to give you the most effective and lasting results.
What can I expect during acne treatment?
During an acne treatment visit, you can expect your provider to examine your skin closely and discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous treatments you’ve tried. This helps them identify the root causes of your acne.
After evaluating your skin, they create a personalized treatment plan that may include in-office procedures, at-home skincare, or both. If you receive a treatment like a chemical peel or light therapy, the session is typically quick and comfortable.
You may experience mild redness afterward, but most people return to their usual routine right away.
How long will my acne treatment results last?
How long your acne treatment results last can vary. Some people see clearer skin within a few weeks, while others need more time to notice a significant improvement. Consistency is key.
As long as you follow your recommended regimen and attend follow-up visits, your results can be long-lasting. If hormones, stress, or certain products trigger your acne, you may need occasional adjustments to maintain your skin’s clarity.
