Introduction

Acne is arguably the most common skin condition throughout the U.S. With the help of dermatologist, Dr. Faryal Siddiqui, Dr. Christopher Barnard, and Dr. Solomiya Grushchak, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic & Dermatology is proud to offer acne treatments to men and women in San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, El Cajon, and surrounding areas of California.

What is Acne

Acne is a very common skin condition in which the pores of the skin become repeatedly blocked by an accumulation of dirt, oils, dead skin cells, and/or bacteria over time. Acne is most commonly presented in small black or white blemishes or pimples on the skin that become more irritated and inflamed when picked. There are four different types of acne that our dermatologist typically sees at our clinic:

These small, red bumps are mild but still cause inflammation.
These small bumps are like papules but generally have a white pus-filled tip.
These more severe bumps are solid, lay underneath the skin, and are often painful.
These large bumps under the skin are like nodules, but may also contain pus.

What Causes Acne?

Acne can be a frustrating skin condition to have and many of our patients often feel there’s no way to avoid it. Acne can be caused by a variety of factors including changes in hormonal levels, the use of certain prescription medications, genetics, and consuming a diet rich in carbohydrates and processed sugars. Narrowing down the direct cause of your acne may be difficult to do on your own. our dermatologist and the professional medical staff at La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic & Dermatology are happy to sit down with you and help you find the root cause of your acne, so we can better treat it at its source.

How Do I Know If I Have Acne?

Acne is characterized by the consistent appearance of papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts on the skin. Patients who experience a regular occurrence of these blemishes on their face, neck, chest, back, or shoulders may be suffering from chronic acne breakouts. The best way to find out if you have acne is to come in for a private consultation with our dermatologist and our expert medical team.

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
