Acne

Advanced Acne Solutionsacne

Are you tired of various acne treatments and not getting results or temporary results at best? Frustrated from years of seeing professionals and still see little improvement from the various carousels of prescriptions and expensive skin care products? The time is now to get the results you deserve from a variety of treatment options designed to work in combination to attack all of the factors associated with your acne.

Acne is a common condition affecting 17 million Americans. The good news is that acne is highly treatable. When the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin become inflamed a production of sebum or oil results, skin cells die and clog the follicle causing acne.

There are many misconceptions about the causes of acne. Acne is not triggered by stress, eating greasy foods, or not properly cleaning your skin. Acne is a medical condition that often is a result of heredity. Without proper treatment, acne can afflict a patient for years or the majority of their life.

Proper skin care is paramount. We will customize a plan for you comprised of medical-grade skin care products and prescription medications. Additionally, we recommend that most of our clients get weekly or bi-weekly facials to promote exfoliation and minimize scarring from acne.

Acne conditions require a multi-step medical solution. There is no one solution for acne as many claim and therefore offer the newest in treatment modalities for our patients so they can gain clearance from this skin condition.

MEDICAL GRADE
Skincare Products
Since only physicians may carry these products, they have a higher percentage of active ingredients than over-the-counter medications to more effectively treat specific skin conditions. Many patients suffering from mild acne respond well to these specialized skincare products and are very effective when used in combination with other treatment regimens.

Retinoids
Both retinols and retinoids are derivatives of Vitamin A. Retinoids are available by prescription only. Retinols are a milder, less effective form, which the body converts into retinoids. Use of a topical retinoid product can effectively manage acne. Retinoids can be used long-term and have been proven safe and effective, and also diminish some of the signs of aging skin. Retinoids should be used before bedtime because they cause the skin to be light sensitive. Retinoid treatment may also be combined with other skin care products. Dr. Green and her staff will help you determine which product is best for you.

Benzoyl Peroxide  and Salicylic Acid
These common ingredients to acne creams and cleansing washes kill bacteria, therefore suppressing bacterial growth in clogged pores. Salicylic acid has both exfoliating and skin calming qualities as it is made from aspirin derivatives and allows the skin to hydrate and retain moisture naturally. However, these are typically superficial to the skin when combined with creams and washes and therefore results are not easily achieved as a stand-alone treatment for acne.
Ultraviolet light therapy
Medical grade LED light of the right wavelength can be used to kill the acne-causing bacteria. We alternate blue light and red light treatments for maximum efficacy. We provide this easy, painless service and will recommend it for you if you are an appropriate candidate.

Antibiotics
The use of oral antibiotics can be an effective treatment; however, routine use leads the acne causing germs to become resistant, which limits their effectiveness. Dr. Green will prescribe antibiotics in a way that will minimize the risk of resistance.

Hormone modulation
There are a number of therapies that can be effective for women.  Reducing the amount of testosterone expression in the skin can reduce acne breakouts. Oral contraceptive therapy is another consideration, but can take up to six months to fully see the results. Blood tests may be necessary to determine what underlying hormonal factors are present and an appropriate plan established.

Chemical peels
Peels can be used to treat any stage of acne. Peels that target acne have high concentrations of salicylic acid.  They work to unplug pores, exfoliate, improve the texture tone and health of the skin, while simultaneously reducing the effects of acne.

Photodynamic Therapy
This treatment involves the use of a topical solution applied to the affect area, which works to dry out the sebaceous glands that get clogged and cause acne. This medication has to remain on the skin for several hours, and then is activated by a blue light. After the procedure patients must stay out of the sun for several days. Photodynamic therapy is very effective in clearing acne.

Accutane

Accutane is a prescription medication and Dr. Green will determine if you are an appropriate candidate, as it requires close careful monitoring.

TREATING ACNE
Scarring

When left untreated, acne will scar and though there is no easy way of reversing these scars there are many treatments available that diminish or eliminate these scars. Depending upon the scar and need for revision we offer many choices to correct this unfortunate side effect from acne skin conditions.

You don’t have to live with acne anymore. Call to schedule a consultation and get started on your customized treatment plan today!

Let us help you be your best you!

Testimonials

Dr. Green saved me from having to stare at wrinkles for the rest of my life! In 2009, I got Botox from a plastic surgeon in L.A. The results were terrible and he couldn't fix the uneven look. I had to wait for it to wear off and I swore I'd never do it again. Recently, a close friend who has had Botox several times, told me that if I was ever going to try again it should be with Dr. Green. She said it was the best experience she has had, by far. I met with Dr. Green and immediately felt a connection. She was patient with my nervousness and described exactly what she was going to do and what the results would be. A week after the procedure, it was an obvious success. I got more compliments than I can remember and now 3 months later, I'm still thrilled looking in the mirror. Thank you so much Dr. Green - now that I found you my mirror will keep telling me I'm 30 and not 44!

I'm a 40 year old guy who has never had a facial or even seen the inside of a med spa. After way too many years in the sun with probably way too little sun screen, I had developed some pretty noticeable wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes. I would have never thought to have anything done about it, but one of my friends had just had Botox and he looked a lot better. He told me where he went and that's how I found Dr. Sinikka Green. Long story short, it was better than I could have thought. Her staff was great, she was down to Earth and very professional, and most importantly, it worked. At my request, we started with a small amount and after two weeks, I went back in for a little more. It only took a few days after that before I could really see the effect. Dr. Green, as you know, I've already sent a friend your way, and will always recommend you as a true pro. Thank you.

My body has taken a beating over the past 20 years, as I've put it through countless miles of running and too many hours in the gym to track. I had read several articles on professional athletes doing PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) to help heal injuries, and I consulted with Dr. Green on using the approach to address some nasty tendonitis that had developed in my left achilles tendon. After the recommended 2-weeks of post-procedure rest, I started by into my workouts and couldn't believe the difference. The pain that felt like broken glass in my tendon was 90% gone and after a month of cranking-up my workouts, I was back to 100% function with zero pain. Best treatment ever. Best Doc ever.

Two months ago, I weighed 174 pounds, and at 5'5'', I wasn't exactly healthy, or looking good. Today, as I wright this, I am at 146 pounds and still dropping each week. In the beginning, I was worried I would have to starve myself to get this far, but that is the furthest thing from the truth. Over the past 2 months, I've taken the pills prescribed by Dr. Green and a weekly vitamin and fat-burning shot, and I haven't once felt overly hungry or low on energy - in fact, I feel great! Looking forward to the next month and my final 11 pounds gone!!
