ODE Dermatology’s Acne Overview
Acne, being a multifaceted condition, often requires a medical diagnosis before precise treatment can be determined. Despite the abundance of brands, products, and services claiming to eliminate acne, only a select few offer a comprehensive explanation or a credible approach.
ODE Dermatology uses two key approaches to acne- oral medication or AviClear ( a non-medecianl approach) an advanced laser which shrinks oil glands in the same way oral medication would, minus potential side effetcs.
In combination with one or both of the previolsy mentioned approached, at home skincare is a well considered stratgy which each client will be equipped with.
Oral Medication
Modern oral acne medications have made significant strides in recent years, becoming safer and more effective in treating acne. When prescribed correctly and in appropriate doses, these medications can offer long-term relief from acne. While this treatment approach has its limitations, it is designed to manage severe cases while complementary measures, such as skin care, diet adjustments, and lifestyle changes, are introduced to support your skin's improvement. Since acne is a complex issue, it's essential to adhere to all of these approaches to maintain the clear skin you've worked hard to attain.
