Acne care: In addition to a customized home care acne regimen, our practice successfully uses facial and body peels to control acne breakouts and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Consult with a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist that specializes in acne care and skin of color for the best regimen for you. Non-invasive laser and light treatment may be beneficial as well.
