ACNE
Acne can be a problem not only for teens, but also for those patients well past their twenties, thirties and even their forties. Many patients continue to suffer from recurrent breakouts well into adulthood causing embarrassment, frustration and added stress in already busy lives.
At The Menkes Clinic, our approach to the treatment of acne starts with recognizing that each patient is an individual with unique needs. Our physicians evaluate each patient's lifestyle, personal goals and treatment preferences in order to formulate the most effective plan that will result in healthy, clear, and radiant skin. We are always ready to answer questions and provide the latest, scientifically-proven treatments for our patients. Treatments include topical medications, oral antibiotics, AccutaneTM and blue light therapy.
An effective alternative therapy that may be used alone or in combination with medication in the treatment of acne, Blu-U phototherapy is a non-carcinogenic visible light source that targets both the bacteria and oil glands responsible for acne in teens and adults. Appropriate for patients who would like to manage their acne without using medication or who wish to boost their current treatment.
