Resolved Question: What is the best treatment for moderate, persistent acne?
By Medi Spa at 2 April, 2010, 9:44 am
What is the best way for men with light skin to treat moderate, persistent acne on the face? Acutane seems like overkill and is expensive. Pills like oracea or minocin have helped, but they have not given me clear skin, only a reduction in redness and acne. Topicals like finacea or metrogel are useless and irritating because I also have rosacea.
I have tried IPL photofacial and it worked better than anything else, but I am still wondering if there could be an equally effective solution that is less expensive. Or, should I commit to a consistent IPL treatment along with lasers? If so, are there actually any medical spas in CA that have licensed doctors who perform or visually oversee these procedures? The assistants make me too nervous and most standard dermatologists are still behind the times, as they still push useless creams, expensive pills that don’t work and do not have IPL or lasers in their offices. I know that quality treatment will cost money. Expert opinions are welcome!
