Overview
Acne is one of the most common skin issues that people of all ages deal with on a daily basis. Dr. Joel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist at Schlessinger MD in Omaha, can assess your skin concerns and provide successful and long-term treatment options for acne. He has the medical background to look at all aspects of this condition and work for effective solutions that will result in quick improvement.
He evaluates the severity of acne in teens and in adults and determines what type it is. Not all acne is the same, which is why some home products don’t always work. Sometimes what a patient thinks is acne turns out to be another easily treatable skin condition, such as yeast infection or another skin infection. Dr. Schlessinger has been on the forefront of research in acne for over 25 years and has helped to develop most of the new treatments for acne in his clinical research facility, including Differin, EpiDuo, Aczone and many other cutting edge treatments.
