How acne treatment from your dermatologist in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, can help you enjoy clear skin

Acne can make you want to hide. The bumps and blemishes can make you self-conscious. Acne is unsightly, and it can be painful. Fortunately, no matter what type of acne you have, your dermatologist has the acne treatment you need.

Dr. Will Richardson at Natura Dermatology & Cosmetics in Fort Lauderdale, FL, provides a wide range of dermatology services, including acne treatment to help you enjoy clear skin.

Acne blemishes can appear in many areas of your body. Blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic acne can show up on your:

Face
Neck
Chest
Back

When you notice an acne blemish, you may be tempted to pop it or pick at it. Don’t do it! Popping and picking at a blemish can transfer bacteria to other areas, and it can leave ugly acne scars behind.

Visiting your dermatologist is a much better solution to treat acne. Your dermatologist can help determine which acne treatment is best for you. These are some of the most common acne treatments your dermatologist may recommend:

For mild acne, benzoyl peroxide medications can unblock pores, helping to clear up blackheads or whiteheads.

For moderate to severe acne, oral or topical antibiotics kill underlying bacteria which have caused acne breakouts.

For cystic acne, isotretinoin products can clear clogged pores.

Your dermatologist may also recommend laser and light therapy to kill bacteria causing your acne. Your dermatologist has additional ways to treat acne caused by a hormonal imbalance.

If you have acne scarring, your dermatologist can help with that too. Common treatments to fade and diminish acne scarring include chemical peels, laser resurfacing treatments, and microdermabrasion.

Our Client Reviews

Dr. Richardson, Blair, and all of the staff at Natura are amazing! I had a complicated issue a few years ago, and Dr. Richardson was able to diagnose me by looking at the pictures of my leg. My skin is important to me, and I trust Natura to take good care of it.

APRN Blair Ferguson is ON POINT with regards to his knowledge of dermatologic conditions! He has helped both me and many of my friends over the years with issues that have had other clinicians completely stumped. This practice is clean, efficient, and the staff are wonderful! Thanks guys!

Clean and modern facility. The receptionist was helpful. The doctor provided clear explanations and took the time to address my concerns. I felt comfortable. Prompt appointment scheduling and minimal wait time. The overall experience exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Ferguson spent plenty of time with me as a new patient, to ascertain the potential issues on my fingers and toe and then to look at moving forward to address those issues, including blood work and a CT scan... Very pleased with his plan of action and the very professional service he provided me... So far, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would highly recommend...!

This is one business that is very easy to deal with. Great communication and professionalism shown. I would highly recommend them.

Everyone at Natura Dermatology is fantastic! The nurse practitioner Alexis took great care of me. She does a lovely job at explaining everything step by step. Damian, who I think is the office coordinator is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to fit me in and make sure I was seen for my concerns.
