Discover New & Effective Acne Treatments in Ann Arbor, MI
Few chronic skin conditions enjoy the same fear and awe as acne. Each of us has had our brush with teenage outbreaks and stress whiteheads, but some of us struggle with this painful, embarrassing, and stubborn condition throughout our adult lives. If you’ve tried powerful creams or collagen induction therapy without success, don’t lose hope. There are newer ways forward at Ganger Dermatology in Ann Arbor, Wixom, and Plymouth, MI.
Our Multimodal Acne Approach
This comes as no surprise to those who suffer from it, but acne is a complex skin condition. A single solution may not be enough. Immovable acne may require a more 3-dimensional approach, involving several forms of successful therapies to finally move the needle toward clearer skin and fewer outbreaks.
At Ganger Dermatology, we pull out all the stops in designing an effective treatment plan for your acne. By choosing or combining the right prescription medications, HydraFacials, ProFractional® lasers, and Kenalog injections, we can help you manage both the intensity and frequency of outbreaks. New laser technology also empowers us to undo some of the scarring you’ve endured over the years.
Finally, we offer popular BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) to stimulate skin regeneration at the cellular level, giving you one more weapon in the chronic skin condition fight of your life.
Benefits of Acne Treatments
Acne Treatment FAQs
Your skin and hair are protected by an oily substance called sebum. Sebum combines with fatty lipids to form a protective layer across your skin’s surface. But for some of us, an overproduction of sebum contributes to oily skin. The real problem occurs when sebum mixes with dead skin cells, toxins, and bacteria to clog your pores, causing blackheads and painful outbreaks. Clogged hair follicles and resulting inflammation throw fuel on the fire, contributing to more severe and more frequent acne scarring.
Hormonal changes and stress have also been linked to acne symptoms, further complicating both the condition and its treatment. Thankfully, you have options at Ganger Dermatology.
Nearly everyone has encountered whiteheads and blackheads at some point in their lives. But there are other blemishes caused by acne that can be even more painful or cause more significant scarring. Papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, and other blemishes may also result from excess sebum and bacteria on your skin.
BroadBand Light Therapy is one of the most effective and comprehensive treatments for chronic skin conditions, including acne. Your skin has been designed by nature to take inspiration and information from light. With the right wavelength of light, we can penetrate the deeper layers of skin, warming cells to encourage regeneration. This light also reduces redness by shocking surface capillaries. Discolored cells (hyperpigmentation) are disbanded and collagen production supercharged for better healing of new and old scars.
