Florida Skin Center Acne Treatments
Prescription Medications
The providers at FSC will evaluate your skin type and will personalize an acne regimen based on what will work well for your type of acne. This may include a combination or oral and topical medications.
Isotretinoin
You may have read about this aggressive treatment medication for acne. Dr. Badia is one of the only dermatologists in the area to offer this treatment option for patients with severe acne or acne that has not responded to other treatments. Although reserved as a “last resort”, Dr. Badia has had great success in using this medication with her patients.
Acne Laser with Levulan
This treatment is great for patients with mild to moderate acne with redness. It uses a combination of a laser treatment with a photosensitizing medication called levulan that work together to treat the bacteria causing acne and to improve redness from scaring.
Fraxel Laser
This laser treatment works great to reduce pitted scarring from acne.
Facials
Facial will give you a light exfoliation and a deep cleaning of the skin.
Chemical Peels
Peels are a heavier exfoliation that helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.

Myth #1: Eating Chocolate makes you breakout.
Fact: Nothing you eat causes acne. Some may think that eating oily or greasy foods causes acne but this is simply not true. Acne is caused when dead skin cells stick together, fall into the pore, plug the gland, collect the oil that your skin naturally produces. Then Bacteria sets in and you get a pimple.
Myth #2: Blackheads are a sign that you are not washing your face enough.
Blackheads are not caused by a buildup of dirt. Rather, pores become dilated and cellular debris builds up. When air hits that cellular debris they oxidize and become black.
