Acne comes in many forms, but all of them can affect your appearance, make you feel self-conscious, and even leave scars and hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists are medical doctors who specialize in skin, and they can help you find the best acne treatment to help you achieve smooth, clear skin with lasting results.
While there are many myths about the causes of acne, it can affect almost anyone, especially if your skin overproduces an oily substance called sebum. Sebum is produced by pores inside your hair follicles, and it plays a major role in keeping your skin soft and protected. However, too much sebum can accumulate in your pores, providing a habitat for inflammatory bacteria and producing bumps, pimples, and cysts. Many factors, including genetics, hormones, and your skincare routine, can affect your acne.

When you visit Twin Ports Dermatology for acne treatment, you will meet with a dermatologist who will assess your skin, discuss what you have tried previously, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that may include:
We often recommend that anyone bothered by acne start with a base of skincare targeted toward acne-prone skin. We offer options, including our Optimal Skin line of products for oily and blemish-prone skin. Try our Acne Kit to start with some of our most effective products.
Many people with acne benefit from over-the-counter and prescription topical treatments. These may contain compounds like benzoyl peroxide, which helps control bacterial growth, or anti-inflammatory treatments, which reduce swelling and redness.
Several oral medications can significantly improve acne, although they may have more side effects than topical products. These may include antibiotics, oral retinoids, and other medications, and they can help prevent future breakouts.
Our expert providers here at Twin Ports Dermatology would be happy to meet with you for an in-person consultation. Simply fill out the form on this page, and one of our trusted staff members will reach out to you promptly to schedule your consultation.
Chemical peels are a customizable way to manage acne and improve your skin. They clear your skin of dead cells and excess oil, leaving your pores clearer. Regularly scheduled chemical peels can keep your skin looking smooth and even with little to no downtime.
Microneedling creates channels in the skin that trigger healing and repair factors, break up acne scars, and tighten pores to prevent them from becoming blocked. It can also help your skin absorb skincare products and other treatments.
We offer a range of laser and Broadband Light (BBL) treatments that can reduce bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help your skin repair itself. Regular treatments can keep acne away and maintain your calm, even skin.
Depending on the treatments recommended, your results may take a few weeks to a few months to develop. You will notice fewer and less severe breakouts and a reduced likelihood of developing acne scars, and your skin will have an overall healthier glow. Our dermatologists can customize a treatment plan for anyone’s skin.
