What Are Acne & Acne Scars? 

Beautiful skin begins with clear, smooth, even-toned skin. Not everybody is fortunate enough to have naturally flawless skin. It can be a constant struggle fighting with common skin conditions such as acne, cysts, enlarged pores, scarring, and dark spots. These conditions can have tremendous social and psychological implications on those affected, diminishing self-esteem and self-confidence.

At Physician Skin Solutions in Glendale, we understand how important it is to produce drastic, rapid results, which is why we offer the most advanced acne and scar treatment technology on the market today! With aesthetic and laser treatments, we can quickly and more aggressively reduce acne, oily skin, pore size, lighten pigment, and improve your skin’s overall texture. We also offer state of the art laser resurfacing at our Glendale office to clear up the scarring and red or brown spots remaining. Revealing softer, smoother skin you can feel comfortable showing to the world!

We always recommend internal factors of diet and nutrition as well as medical-grade skincare products at home as part of the acne protocols. When skin problems, such as acne and scarring, are treated by our staff and by the patient at home the results are much quicker and more dramatic – it is truly a joint effort.
