How long will it take to get rid of my acne?

Most acne treatments take several weeks to begin showing improvement, and consistent care is important for long-term results. Acne can be frustrating because no two cases are exactly alike. Some patients struggle with occasional hormonal breakouts, while others deal with painful cystic acne, persistent inflammation, or acne scarring. Finding the right treatment often requires more than trial-and-error skincare products. At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, we take a personalized approach to acne treatment in Deerfield Beach by identifying contributing factors and creating treatment plans designed for your unique skin concerns.

How do I know what’s causing my acne?

Acne may be influenced by hormones, genetics, stress, skincare products, medications, or lifestyle factors. A professional evaluation can help identify contributing causes and find the best acne treatment for you specifically.

Can what I eat cause acne?

Certain foods may worsen acne in some patients, though triggers vary from person to person.

Do I just need to wash my face more?

Not necessarily. Overwashing can sometimes irritate the skin and worsen breakouts rather than improve them. During your consultation we can talk through your regular routine and make recommendations based on your skin’s needs.

Who gets acne?

Acne affects most teenagers to some extent. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in their 20s and even well beyond their 40s can get acne.

Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. Hormones, stress, genetics, skincare products, medications, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to breakouts. Because every patient’s skin is different, professional evaluation can help determine the best approach for long-term improvement.

Professional treatment can also help reduce the risk of acne scarring and long-term skin discoloration. Early intervention is especially important for patients with deep, painful, or persistent breakouts that are not responding to over-the-counter products.
