No Need For Accutane
Many people try multiple over-the-counter and prescription medications and systems for their acne treatment. Among these include antibiotics, creams, cleansers, hormonal treatments, and isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is frequently known as Accutane, but it is also offered under several other brand names. It is a powerful and effective prescription acne medication that is commonly used for patients whose acne has responded poorly to other treatments, but for some, it is still not ideal. In addition to modifying and optimizing your skin care regimen, Affinity Dermatology is pleased to offer Aerolase Neo Clear laser treatment for medication-free, prescription-free treatment of acne.
