Acne formation is due to a number of factors, which is why effective treatment requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Hormonal imbalances like thyroid hormone, testosterone, estrogen, inherited skin types and conditions and environmental factors all contribute to acne formation. That's why there's not one approach or treatment that fits all patients. Treating acne requires a comprehensive medical evaluation and tailored therapy. Medical treatments include lasers, aggressive chemical peels, microdermabrasion, oral or topical antibiotics and medical-grade skin cleansers and toners. The cost depends on the treatment plan and ranges from $100 to $1,000. Patient education is an integral part of acne treatment. Start the learning process with Beverly Hills Physicians - they provide complimentary skin evaluations.

The most Powerful Partnership for Clear Skin
If acne has you desperate for a real solution, consider a multi-layered partnership of facials, peels, lasers and products. Enzyme, deep cleansing and microdermabrasion facials; Jessner and Vi peels; Laser Genesis and IPL lasers and the Clearogen line of skincare work together to banish bumps for good. This is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts; each of these treatments works on a different layer of your skin in a different way, addressing not just your current acne but scarring and the prevention of future
breakouts, too.
