Clearing Hard to Control Acne at Doctor's Approach Lansing, Michigan Dermatology

Aug. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Acne is a disease involving the sebaceous glands of the skin and affects over 80% of adolescents and many adults.  During puberty and stress, and due to hormonal influences, our bodies produce large amounts of an oily substance called sebum.  Sebum, when combined with excess skin debris, sticks together in our pores, causing the pore to become clogged.  Without effective treatment, these clogged pores can become red, infected, swollen, and form unsightly pimples that can lead to scarring.  Topical creams can work in combination with antibiotics and other treatments in our med spa to help you achieve the complexion you desire.

Acne is the most common skin problem in the U.S., and Dr. Street and her team at Doctor’s Approach take a special interest in clearing this frustrating problem.  Hard-to-control acne will quickly improve with our established, proven methods.  Our treatments, which include the following options, can result in smoother, clearer, radiant skin for all ages.
