What Treatments are Most Common?
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Weishar, together with Dr. Clark, who has published pioneering research on acne and the gut-skin connection, offers a comprehensive approach to treatment for each patient’s skin type, severity, and goals. Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and microneedling are all treatment options.
Accutane
Used for more severe cases, this oral medication reduces oil production, allowing skin to heal faster. An oral antibiotic may also be prescribed to help reduce bacteria.
Topical Treatment
Benzoyl peroxide helps reduce inflammation that presents as small red bumps, and salicylic acid can help with non-inflammatory cases.
Facials for Acne-Prone Skin
Facials are an effective way to manage acne, reduce inflammation, and minimize scarring. At Springhouse Dermatology in Montgomery County, we offer a specialized facial to effectively treat pimples without making acne worse.
DiamondGlow™
DiamondGlow is a microdermabrasion treatment that refines the skin. While the diamond-tipped tool exfoliates, unclogs pores, and buffers away skin irritations, it hydrates the skin with healing serums.
Benefits of this treatment:
- Quick
- Painless (mild discomfort at most)
- There is no recovery time
- Results are seen quickly
Laser Resurfacing
Fraxel removes damaged skin cells without harming the surrounding skin and allows your body to create healthy new ones. Laser therapy helps to reduce the appearance of raised scars and develop a healthier complexion. The number of scar treatment sessions will depend on the degree of scarring.
Benefits of this treatment:
- Fast treatment
- Minimal recovery time
- A topical cream helps soothe irritated skin
- Once the area is healed, the results are immediately noticeable
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to fill acne scars caused by pimples. This is a temporary treatment that can last from a few months to almost a year. It works by lifting the scarred area so that skin appears more firm and smooth.
Dr. Margo Weishar’s extensive experience using injectables has gained her ExpertInjector status. This is a distinction given to less than 3% of physicians in the US.
Benefits of this treatment:
- Quick and comfortable
- Results are seen immediately
