Acne
View More Before & Afters
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 and cosmetic surgeon and our PAs, at Schlessinger MD in Omaha, can assess your skin concerns and provide successful and long-term treatment options for acne. Dr. Schlessinger and his PAs have the medical background to look at all aspects of this condition and work for effective solutions that will result in quick improvement.
Not all acne is the same, which is why some home products don’t always work. Our team evaluates the severity of acne in teens and adults and determines what type it is. 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 onsite clinical research center. Some of those treatments include Differin, Epiduo, Aczone and many other cutting edge treatments.

Common Causes of Acne
There can be many causes of acne, which is one of the reasons why it might be difficult for you to deal with on your own and achieve effective results.
One of the most common causes for acne is hormonal changes, which are fairly typical among teens due to puberty. This is also why acne can occur during and after pregnancy.
You may also get acne after consuming certain types of food that are full of sugar and carbohydrates. Stress and lack of proper rest can also cause an outbreak of acne, as can certain types of medication. Different causes can result in different degrees of severity in terms of the acne outbreak.
When to Come in for Acne Treatment
There are many home and over-the-counter remedies available for you to treat acne on your own. However, when the outbreak of acne persists or is causing pain or discomfort, you are advised to schedule a consultation with a board certified Dermatologist, for treatment as soon as possible.
Acne Treatment Cost
Acne treatment costs can vary depending on what types of treatments are used or recommended and the duration of the treatment. Generally, the treatment of acne is covered by most insurance companies. The cost of prescriptions drugs can vary and the frequency of your follow up visit can be discussed when you schedule a consultation.
Patient Reviews
I came into Dr.S’s office with adult acne. I suffered on and off since I was 13. It was time to go back to a dermatologist but I did not know where to start. He had the best reviews so I took a chance. Today, I have clear skin!!!! I no longer need to wear foundation. My life has changed for the better and I can’t recommend him enough. Only took 3 months. Didn’t have to try 100 different topicals or medications. He knew first day what would work for me.
