We are proud to be the first in Illinois to offer Accure for Acne, a revolutionary laser therapy that ensures effective, enduring results!
We know how emotional distress caused by acne can impact your life. It’s not just about your skin; it’s about your confidence, self-esteem, and peace of mind. At Modern Skin, we offer a one-of-a-kind comprehensive acne protocol that combines skincare, lifestyle modifications, medications, and in-office procedures to give patients the best skin of their lives.
We focus on providing effective treatments that not only treat acne, but also prevent future breakouts. We specialize in treating acne-prone skin by combining skincare, medical therapies, and procedures like the Accure Laser. Our goal is to minimize the risk of acne scarring and ensure long-term results.
Acne treatments that we offer include topical medications, oral medications, Accure laser for Acne, and chemical peels. Depending on your specific condition, we will recommend and perform the treatment that’s best suited for you.
This quick, non-invasive treatment delivers impressive results by safely targeting the overactive sebaceous glands that cause acne. This laser clears acne without the need for other medications and is ideal for patients wanting to avoid systemic prescription medications. Most importantly, the results are long-lasting, and patients stay clear for years.
The foundation of treating acne starts with a good skincare routine. Acne is a medical condition and thus often requires medications to treat it. Our board-certified dermatologists are experts in creating safe and effective treatment regimens to unclog pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, and treat acne.
Chemical peel helps to reduce inflammation and smooth out red bumps. Over time, chemical peels can also fade acne scars, improving skin texture and tone. It’s an effective way to address both active acne and the marks left behind.
Whether you’re dealing with moderate acne or struggling with persistent, painful lumps beneath the skin’s surface, we’re here to help you find the right solution.
Your skin can be completely transformed – it’s all about finding the right person to do it. We approach our work with our whole hearts, caring deeply about each patient. When you put your trust in us, you’ve already taken the first step toward a wonderful, healthy complexion, free from all of its previous conditions.
Acne outbreaks don’t just affect teenagers. Dr. Lana Kashlan specializes in treating adult women with acne who suffer from hormonal acne. Her treatment regimen focuses not only on clearing active acne but also on treating any discoloration or scars that may be left from old acne.
Let us help you achieve clear and healthy skin by addressing the root causes of acne development.
Your acne could be caused by genetic factors, clogged hair follicles, overactive sebaceous glands, certain hormonal changes, using certain medications, or excess oil production by your oil glands.
In addition to these causes, lifestyle factors can also contribute to acne. A diet high in sugars and processed foods might trigger breakouts. Stress can worsen acne by causing your body to produce more hormones that stimulate oil production.
Lack of proper skincare, such as not cleansing your face regularly, can allow dirt and oil to build up, leading to clogged pores.
Yes, severe acne can lead to permanent scarring. When acne is deep and inflamed, it can damage the skin’s tissue, leading to scars that don’t heal completely.
These scars can appear as pits, raised areas, or discolored spots on your skin. The longer acne goes untreated, the higher the chance of scarring. This is why it’s important to seek treatment early.
However, if you already have scarring, we have treatments available that can help you. Options like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and microneedling can help smooth out and lighten scars, giving you clearer, more even skin.
Yes, stress or hormones can affect your acne. When you’re stressed, your body produces more hormones like cortisol, which can increase oil production and lead to breakouts.
Hormonal changes, such as those during puberty or menstrual cycles, can also trigger acne lesions and worsen existing acne. Your dermatologist could suggest oral contraceptives to help balance hormones and reduce acne.
To identify triggers that lead to acne breakouts, start by tracking your diet, skincare routine, stress levels, hormone changes, sleep patterns, and product use. Pay attention to when breakouts occur and what might be causing them.
Your acne specialist might suggest oral medications, topical treatments, or oral antibiotics as treatment options. These can help manage and prevent breakouts effectively.
Yes, dead skin cells can cause acne or clogged pores. When dead skin cells build up on your skin’s surface, they can mix with oil, also known as sebum production, leading to blocked pores.
Your dermatologist might suggest stronger products with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids to deeply unclog pores and reduce sebum production. Benzoyl peroxide works to kill acne-causing bacteria, while salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) exfoliate and remove dead cells. They might also recommend topical antibiotics to further reduce bacteria and inflammation.
