Acne Care
Clear Skin. Renewed Confidence
At Herndon Dermatology, we understand the physical and emotional toll acne can take. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, our dermatologists provide customized acne treatments to target breakouts, reduce scarring, and promote long-term skin health.
What is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, caused by clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria, and inflammation. It can present as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, cysts, or nodules, and may affect the face, chest, shoulders, or back. While often associated with adolescence, acne can impact people at any age.
What Causes Acne
Our acne care starts with a thorough evaluation of your skin type, lifestyle, and acne severity. Treatment options may include prescription topical or oral medications, chemical peels, laser or light therapies, and skincare guidance. Each plan is designed to reduce active breakouts, prevent future ones, and improve overall skin clarity.
Concerns Acne Care Treats
We treat all forms of acne and related skin concerns.
Common conditions include:
- Whiteheads and blackheads (comedonal acne)
- Papules and pustules (inflamed pimples)
- Cystic acne (deep, painful lesions)

Professional acne treatment goes beyond over-the-counter solutions to deliver lasting results.
