Acne: Find the Treatment that’s Best for You

Acne is a condition that affects more than just teens, and there is no single approach toward solving the condition because each person’s skin is unique. The first step is a thorough evaluation by a trained professional, and as a board certified dermatologist, Dr. Umar will work to devise a custom treatment best suited to your individual needs.

Dr. Umar uses a variety of techniques to combat acne, ranging from conventional ointments and medicines to light treatment using Clear Light-100.

What Is Clear Light-100?

This non-invasive treatment is ideal for patients who are cannot maintain a strict medication regimen. Over the course of four to eight weeks, you will undergo a series of 20-minute under the light, with no pain or side effects. Typically, Clear Light-100 achieves 70% clearance at one-third of the time of traditional treatment methods.

A great advantage of this approach is it does not result in redness, irritation or peeling common to some topical approaches, nor does it leave scarring, burns, hyper-pigmentation or hair loss, as can sometimes happen with pulsed light systems.
