In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Acne treatment plans are tailored to the severity and type of acne, ranging from mild comedonal acne to severe nodulocystic forms. Mild cases are typically managed with topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, while moderate-to-severe acne may require oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, or isotretinoin. In-office treatments such as chemical peels, cortisone injections for cysts, and light-based therapies can complement at-home regimens. Dermatologists also address acne scarring through procedures like microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, and microneedling. Consistent follow-up is important to monitor treatment response, adjust medications, and manage side effects.
