Elevate your skincare routine with cosmetic acne treatments

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States and affects up to 50 million Americans annually. Despite its popularity, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD), there is no “one size fits all” treatment plan. Fortunately, that means there are many options to try on the road to clearer skin.

Persistent acne sometimes requires medical treatment to resolve. There are over-the-counter products available, as well as topical therapies and oral medications that can be prescribed by a boardcertified dermatologist.

Aspirus Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics offers another option.

“There are several cosmetic acne treatments available right now that can help improve the appearance of acne, reduce breakouts and treat acne scars,” says Elizabeth Renaker-Jansen, DO, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with Aspirus Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics. “We’ve seen fantastic results with chemical peels, dermalinfusion and microneedling, all of which can be done right in the office and require minimal downtime.”

Cosmetic acne treatments can often complement medical acne treatments by enhancing their effectiveness. Combining approaches may lead to better acne control and overall outcomes. However, it’s advisable to consult with your providers to determine the most suitable treatment options for your specific acne condition.

“Don’t be discouraged if you feel like you’ve tried everything to clear your acne on your own. Sometimes it requires a bit of trial and error, but we’re here to help you find a solution that makes you feel confident in your skin,” says Dr. Renaker-Jansen.

All procedures and services at Aspirus Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics are performed by board-certified and specialty trained providers who will listen to your concerns, present you with your best options and be there with you every step of the way.
