“Acne occurs when sebaceous material clogs the pores and causes breakouts, bumpy texture, inflammation, and infection. There are multiple causes for this such as genetics, diet, and lifestyle. I am going to share my tips and tricks for combating acne and achieving healthy skin. Xx Dr. Lara.
1. IPL (Intense pulse light) photo facial. This uses light to kill bacteria in the skin, and the results are quite incredible. I offer this in-office treatment in my medical practice. To schedule an appointment, please email appointments@laradevganmd.com.
2. Skincare maintenance with my ACNE DEFENSE SYSTEM is important for avoiding breakouts. Ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, and glycolic acid are crucial and effective for keeping the pores clean and reducing inflammation.
3. Diet and lifestyle play an important role in our skin health. Avoid sugar, dairy, and fats, and focus on nourishing your body with healthy fats, leafy greens, and hydrating foods. Make sure you are drinking lots of water, and getting adequate sleep. This will not only improve your skin health but your overall well-being.
