Acne Treatments Illinois - How Does Isotretinoin Treatment Work for Acne?

Whether you're a teenager or an adult with acne problems, you know how embarrassing acne can be and how self-conscious acne can make you feel. Many individuals with “problem skin” suffer from low self-confidence. For individuals who cope with deep cystic acne, it can be extremely frustrating when over-the-counter products and creams do not correct the problem. At Derick Dermatology in Chicago, Illinois, we are well aware of acne treatments that are effective at battling severe acne problems such as cystic acne that plagues both teenagers and adults.

Many acne patients often begin treatment by using over-the-counter acne products. In many cases, over-the-counter acne products may be sufficiently effective to suppress acne problems, but some skin types and problems will not respond. Derick Dermatology is a provider experienced in a broad array of prescriptions to treat acne and can consult with you to determine treatments that will be most effective for you.

When a patient sometimes does not respond to various medications and acne treatments, Derick Dermatology may sometimes suggest the use of Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin treatments for acne have shown amazing results in both adults and teenagers. Isotretinoin has been used to treat extremely severe acne that would not otherwise respond to creams and oral medications. The active ingredient in Isotretinoin works on acne from the inside out, giving your body the chance to rid itself of acne-causing agents. In combination with topical creams (and by closely following a skin care regimen of washing your face, moisturizing, and protecting your skin from UV radiation) Isotretinoin treatment is a great way to address severe acne problems.

Using Isotretinoin, the providers at Derick Dermatology in Illinois have achieved impressive results for acne patients. Call today to schedule a consultation appointment and find out if Isotretinoin is an effective way to tackle your acne from the inside out!
