Oak Dermatology offers many therapy options to control and maintain acne. For less severe cases of acne, prescription medications, such as topical solutions and creams that contain retinoids, salicylic acid, sulfur, and benzoyl peroxide, can help. There are also oral antibiotics, such as tetracycline, minocycline, or doxycycline, that are helpful to use. Depending on what type of acne you have, we may suggest acne facials, chemical peels, radiofrequency microneedling, and/or extractions.

You may qualify for laser therapies at Oak Dermatology. Laser acne treatments have been proven effective in deep cleaning and eliminating bacteria and dead skin cells on your skin. It can also help reduce inflammation and redness linked with acne. There are many opportunities for you to try to get your skin healthy and clear.

One laser therapy is the TheraClear™ treatment, an FDA-approved acne treatment that combines a vacuum suction to remove dirt and oil from the skin and BroadBand Light™, which heats the skin to kill bacteria. Treatments are virtually painless and can be performed on the face, back, and chest.

For better precision, we also have Cutera AviClear™, a device approved by the FDA for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe acne. The laser light from the device selectively targets and suppresses sebaceous glands to eliminate acne at the source, providing long-term solutions to acne for all skin types. Our very own Dr. Ashish Bhatia helped pioneer the AviClear technology.
