- Topical medications
- Prescription oral medications

- Facials
- New skin care routine
- Moisturizers

Picking an appropriate treatment for acne
When patients first visit Dr. Pamela Carr, they will have a physical evaluation completed during which the type of acne and the severity is diagnosed by a professional. Then, patients take this time to advise their doctor in regards to the treatment options they may have already tried. This can include anything from contraceptives to over-the-counter acne creams. Then, the doctor can make a recommendation for treatment. Patients should follow the doctor’s orders closely to see if the solution selected is effective at reducing acne.
What about acne scarring?
After active acne has been treated, many patients are left behind with signs of their acne. These acne scars may vary in size, shape, and severity. With certain treatments such as dermal fillers, many patients can smooth their skin after acne and enjoy skin with better overall texture and tone.
