ACNE TREATMENTS for Teens & Adults
Acne comes in many forms and a misdiagnosis of your acne can lead to wasted time and money and years of frustration. Dr. Ivy DeRosa specializes in acne diagnosis and treatment for mild to severe cases and takes great care and interest in the patients who trust her with their condition. As a former acne sufferer Dr. DeRosa is acutely aware of the emotional impact acne can have as well as the relief and elation of successfully clearing the skin. At DeRosa Dermatology we treat the whole patient and may recommend dietary changes, over-the-counter medications, or environmental improvements in combination with pharmaceutical medications, and cosmetic and/or aesthetic treatments to nullify and clear even the most frustrating cases of acne and acne scarring. Are you feeling hopeless about your acne? Let us help.
Acne may have environmental, hormonal or genetic causes
Acne scarring does not naturally fade and can get darker without treatment
Combination treatments can repair scarring & discoloration
ECZEMA
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory non-contagious skin disease in which the immune system is triggered by either an internal or environmental substance and becomes overactive, causing the protective skin barrier to become inflamed and damaged, resulting in patches of extremely dry and itchy skin. Triggers and symptoms can very widely from person-to-person but common triggers are pollen, grass, ragweed, soaps, detergents, hormones, stress, sudden weather changes, and food allergens like tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat and soy. Flare-ups can vary from annoying to debilitating. Working with a board-certified Dermatologist to establish a care regimen can help to minimize future flare-ups and restore your skin health.
Eczema damages the skin barrier increasing infection risk
Your Dermatologist can provide a flare-up protocol & Rx medications
Understanding triggers can help minimize future flare-ups
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is an auto-immune disorder where the immune system attacks healthy skin cells leading to inflammation and rapid skin growth. The characteristic red, scaly patches on the skin are called plaques and they can be itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a chronic condition with periodic flare-ups that can be well-managed with treatment.
Environment, infection, or stress can trigger flare-ups
Plaques occur when an over-active immune system attacks healthy skin cells
Combination treatments can clear plaques & speed healing
