If you have tried every over the counter products for acne breakouts and are still struggling, we want you to know that we are here for you! We don’t just throw medications at you without listening to exactly what your struggling with and for how long you’ve been suffering with acne.  We can offer you a multitude of treatment options and plans that suite your lifestyle and your wishes.  Acne can be a tricky thing and there can be many contributing factors including: hormones, stress, diet, environment and much more.

Even though your first instinct may be to deal with acne on your own, we strongly recommend otherwise.  We have helped countless amounts of patients with acne conditions ranging from very mild to severe cases.  Our Medical Providers will examine you thoroughly and ask a series of questions and then recommend the best course of treatment for you. Sometimes they will even like to perform a chemical peel comprised of salicylic acid to decongest the skin, shed dead’s skin cells, and help decrease underlying overactive oil production.  

 

If you are placed on an acne medication regimen, we always recommend using very gentle cleansers and moisturizers. We offer our own skincare line that Dr. Connolly has formulated himself. It is Medical-Grade and safe and gentle enough to use in conjunction with most acne medications. We also have an in house aesthetician who you can sit with to discuss your skincare regimen, your concerns and goals with. She would help focus more on the physical appearance of the skin.  

There are a lot of options for you, if you don’t happen to respond well to one medication either oral or topical we can always try something else. We will make it our priority for you to have clear, healthy skin.  We know it can be overwhelming but we wanted you to know that you are not alone and there are options for you!  We would be honored to be your health care Provider.
