Oral Medications and Topical Creams

After meeting with one of our dermatologists and figuring out what exactly is going on with your skin, a specific skin care treatment plan will be created just for you! Oral medications and topical creams are just some of the options we offer to get skin conditions under control.

Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are great for a wide range of people because you are able to customize what you would like to treat. Chemical peels can reach different layers of the skin, to treat different types of skin conditions – this of course will be determined by your dermatologist after your initial visit. The different types of peels include:

• Superficial – A mild chemical peel that works on the top layer of skin, good for treating acne, rosacea, and discoloration of the skin.
• Medium – Goes a little deeper into the skin and is good for sun damaged skin and more aggressive discoloration.

Generally after a chemical peel you can experience some redness, similar a sunburn that will usually go away within a week.

Microdermabrasion

Trying to stay away from chemicals? Not a problem, Microdermabrasion uses no chemicals to achieve similar results as a chemical peel. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, almost 10,000 microdermabrasions treatments were performed in 2013! Microdermabrasion is good for treating:

• Sun damage
• Acne and acne scars
• Excess oil

These are all high stress situations that would cause most people to get nervous and sweat! School can sometimes be embarrassing enough without having to add excessive sweating to list.

We offer a great non-invasive laser treatment called miraDry that has successfully eliminated 82% of sweating in just two sessions! This treatment is only available for patients 18 years and older so other forms of sweat treatment like topical creams or injections can be used for those under the age limit.
