Acne is a skin condition that causes pimples or pus-filled bumps to form on the skin of your face, chest, back, and shoulders. These growths form when your body produces excess oils that clog the hair follicles just below the surface of your skin.
You may also be prone to more frequent acne breakouts due to a buildup of bacteria in the skin or if your body produces excessive amounts of hormones.
California Dermatology Physicians provides comprehensive, evidence-based acne treatments to protect your skin from damage and acne scars. They can also recommend skin care products from Klēnskin that you can use to prevent additional acne breakouts.

The providers offer a range of acne treatments based on your age, lifestyle, overall health, and the severity of your symptoms. Your treatment plan may include:
You may also benefit from skin care products that cleanse and moisturize your skin to restore its health and lower your risk for additional acne breakouts.
When your acne is the result of a hormone imbalance, the providers may refer you to a specialist for additional therapies. They continue to monitor the effectiveness of your treatments through routine checkups.
If you’re bothered by acne scars, the dermatology specialists may recommend aesthetic treatments like chemical peels or dermal fillers to minimize the scar’s appearance.
