Acne

What is Acne?

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. It is characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and sometimes cysts. It is caused primarily by skin cells sticking together and clogging hair follicles. Hormones, bacteria, genetics and inflammation also play a large part in its formation. Acne is not caused by dirt or not washing your face, however it is best to wash daily with a mild soap or cleanser. Acne is generally formed on the face but can be on the back neck and chest as well.

Acne typically starts at puberty but may begin in 20 – 35 year old females who never had teenage acne. Control of acne is an ongoing process, sometimes requiring several medicines. Either a topical or oral medicine — possibly a combination — can be prescribed. Laser treatments are available to treat acne as well.

Dr. Silva was phenomenal. Truly a wonderful experience. I felt understood as a patient and like my feelings mattered in how my treatment was approached.I'm grateful to have found Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California. I know that part seems canned or copy and pasted, but it's not. I wanted to use the full name. And I guess I didn't find them, they were referred to me. And I'm grateful they were.

I had a Diamond Glow facial with Kayla. She was professional and friendly and made me feel immediately at ease. She explained the treatment and its benefits. I loved having my lips included as part of the treatment. My skin feels and looks amazing! Thank you, Kayla!!!

I have traveled the world and gone to the best of the best dermatology and skin care specialists from Beverly Hills to South Africa and Dr Alison S Kang at Laser and Skin is THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST!!! I would travel across state lines to be in her care. I feel seen, heard and leave feeling beautiful. The entire staff is so friendly and professional and the location is gorgeous. I couldn't recommend this medical facility enough. Thank you L&S. You've done it again.

I’ve been coming here since 2020 for acne scar treatments. I am beyond pleased with their staff and services. I’ve been Dr. Silva’s patient since the beginning and she makes me feel like a priority patient whenever I have concerns or questions. Kathy, who’s been treating me, is the nurse who I trust completely with my face! She’s so skilled, experienced, and just a joy to work with. Kathy truly wants what’s best for your skin, her insight is so helpful and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr. Silva and Kathy have gotten familiar with my skin and assign proper settings for my skin type. They truly put care and thought, trying to assign treatments, knowing what intensity my skin can and cannot handle. I’ve seen a dramatic improvement of my skins texture and appearance. I feel so much more confident in my skin than I ever have. So glad I found this place!
