[STERLING HEIGHTS, 04/20/2016] – Accents Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa, a Michigan-based cosmetic surgery facility, offers acne treatments for all types of acne. Dr. Mark Berkowitz uses a personalized approach to skin care and acne treatments to minimize acne scars.

Types of Acne

Not all acne cases are the same and not all types of acne will respond to the same treatment. Acne conditions can be classified mainly into four.
Comedonal Acne is the mild type of acne that consists of whiteheads and blackheads. It is caused by sebum (skin oil) and old skin cells that block the pores of the skin. Comedones are skin-coloured and small bumps (papules) usually found on the forehead of those with acne.

Pustular acne (pustule) is a small, fluid-filled bump that forms on the skin. It often appears on the face and in other areas that produce sweat. These bumps have a noticeable yellow dot in the center and are surrounded by redness.

Inflammatory acne is red, swollen, and painful. The inflammation will appear when the white blood cells rise to the surface of the skin. Before getting a treatment, patients must consult Dr. Mark Berkowitz to get advice on the appropriate treatment and skin care for a particular case of acne.

Cystic acne is a severe type of acne. It appears in large, red, and painful breakouts deep in the skin. These breakouts can be treated, but it can affect large areas of the skin and leave scars if they are not treated immediately.

Acne Treatments

Accents Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa provides treatments for these types of acne. The center uses the Aesthera PPx ™ system, a method that promotes a breakthrough painless technology, to give clients a more tolerable acne treatment.

Aesthera PPx ™ is the first laser or broadband light-based device approved by the FDA for the treatment of all four acne cases. It is also the only treatment approved for treating comedonal acne, which is said to be the most difficult case to treat.

Accents Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa uses the Aesthera PPx ™ to clean clients’ pores and allow the therapeutic qualities of broadband light to improve the quality of facial skin. Many clinical studies demonstrated its impressive outcome, with an 88% clearance rate for all four types of acne.

Dr. Mark Berkowitz provides laser resurfacing after the active outbreaks have been removed. The laser will minimize the appearance of resulting acne scars.
