Dr. Hubbell and his team have successfully helped thousands of acne patients over the past 24 years to get breakouts under control and reduce scarring. Hubbell Dermatology and Aesthetics takes a holistic approach to managing acne and employs the latest and greatest treatments, both short-term and over time. Dr. Hubbell continues to offer the most advanced acne treatments through ongoing research and recommends the most effective pharmaceuticals, medical devices, skin treatments, and topicals for maximum results. When necessary, Acne Surgery (medical extractions) can be performed for the relief of comedones (a widened hair follicle filled with skin debris, bacteria, and oil).
Most teenagers will experience acne to some degree, but acne is not restricted to any age group. The cause of acne is multifactorial and includes: genetics, hormones, excess oil production, combined with plugged hair follicles and bacteria producing inflammation within the follicle.
Blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) can occur on almost any part of the body, but are most common on the face, chest, and back. Acne can be upsetting, disfiguring, and leave mild to severe scarring. We offer a wide range of treatments depending on your specific acne condition. For mild scarring, microneedling can provide improvement. For more severe scarring, Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treatments, C02 Laser Skin Resurfacing, or Facial Fillers will provide a dramatic difference in skin appearance. Dr. Hubbell will evaluate each patient and recommend a customized treatment plan built around your skin and your goals.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
The best plan is to prevent, correct, and reduce the chances of scarring. Dr. Hubbell will design an acne treatment plan tailored to your skin needs. In addition to pharmaceuticals and topicals, there are product regimens and helpful medical spa treatments for maximum results, such as:
- Daily proper cleaning with one of our physician-grade washes twice per day to remove dead skin cells and excess oil.
- Using a physician-grade light-weight moisturizer that won’t clog your pores to combat dryness from prescriptions.
- Diamond Glow (microdermabrasion) with extractions to gently reduce clogged pores, remove blackheads, bacteria, and reduce oil production, inflammation of acne, and dry skin created from prescriptions.
- PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT) shuts down the sebaceous glands in the skin-a a major part of the acne problem. This is a gentler alternative to strong prescription treatments.
- Chemical Peels can help to unclog those stubborn clogged pores.
- Mineral-based cosmetics contain added ingredients like silica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide, which both absorb oil and hide redness without irritating skin and causing pimples.
All medical dermatology services at Hubbell are provided or supervised by board-certified dermatologists with decades of specialized training.
