Acne Treatment in Danville, CA
What Is Acne?
Acne is among the most common skin conditions in the U.S., impacting around 60 million people annually. While many cases are considered mild and can be controlled with medication and a consistent at-home cleansing routine, many patients have it so severely that scarring can occur. Acne can be a mix of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, small cysts, and other red, itchy, and swollen areas of the skin. Caused by a combination of dead skin cells, bacteria, and clogged pores, it is most often found in teenagers but can affect adults well into their 40s. Acne most often shows up on the face, chest, and back. To return the skin to a healthy and clear appearance, Elite MD in Danville, CA can offer numerous treatment options, ranging from personalized at-home regimens to medications and laser treatments.
How Is Acne Treated?
Research indicates that store-bought medications do not treat severe acne effectively. Elite MD offers numerous treatment options to control and manage acne and clear its common symptoms. For less severe cases of acne, prescription medications like topical solutions and creams that contain sulfur, retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, and azelaic acid may help. Oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline or minocycline, can also be helpful. Along with topical and oral prescriptions, laser treatments have also proven effective. Laser treatment can decrease redness and other pigmentation problems linked with acne and also help to exfoliate the skin.
What Are the Symptoms of Acne?
Acne can affect an individual's self-esteem, causing feelings of awkwardness or loneliness. The signs of acne breakouts can vary according to the level of the condition. Frequent indicators of acne include the following:
- Pimples
- Whiteheads
- Blackheads
- Cysts on the skin
Acne signs can often be red and inflamed, hurt, or itch. These lesions can additionally lead to scars in more severe scenarios. If you experience any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to seek the advice of our skilled team for adequate detection and treatment.

Come see Linda here if you want the most thorough facial!I am 42 and has been all over the place because we were in the military and only found one lady in Austin that’s thorough like Linda.Linda has lots of experience and knows what she’s doing. Every time I go into see her, I walk out with not even 1 impurity in my skin. Lots of places I’ve been to, just do whatever and have you in and out. They aren’t thorough when it comes to extractions and just extract the big ones, or only the ones you can see. Linda will even get all the ones you can feel.Ever since I’ve been going going to Linda, I stopped getting a big cystic acne every month when I’m getting me period. I guess there’s like nothing in my skin for it to turn into a pimple. I have super clear skin now too and don’t even need to use a concealer to hide any blemish from a pimple.Linda does get booked up like a month in advance so you will need to get on her schedule ASAP if you want to be seen within the month.I appreciate you sooo much Linda!! And love the way you make me look and feel!!
I actually came to Elite MD because, I have a ethnic skin and acne scars. I always felt insecure about my skin because of my breakouts when i was younger. Since i started coming here i have noticed a difference in my skin and texture. I feel so comfortable wearing my hair up now and wear little to no make up. Skin is so much smoother and softer. I had 4 Ematrix lazer treatments, facials and use the day & nighttime products. I love the products so much. The staff here are always so kind and welcoming. The facility is also very clean. Coming here was the best decision ever. Thank you for all you do.
Clinical trial participant dealing with hyperpigmentation/dark spots - have been a participant in Dr. Sonia's clinical trial for her skin treatment. This treatment specifically deals with hyperpigmentation/dark spots, other forms of discoloration in darker skin as well as acne.It's been almost 3 months and I am completely convinced that this is the ONLY, and I mean ONLY skin treatment that actual works for me. I'm over 40 and have been using retin A (prescription grade) off and on since 1992! I've tried different cleansers, creams, mask etc. I've even had "blue light" therapy for my acne. For my dark spots, I've tried skin lighteners such as cyspera and spent over $200. All have minimal results. However this product Doctor Sonia formulated has not only cleared my skin, it has soften my skin, minimized pore size and visibility and lighten the dark spots and discoloration from acne.The tinted primer and sunscreen is supposed to lighten dark spots and provide protection from UV rays. However I apply this primer before applying foundation and it works wonders. I'm not a regular when it comes to wearing make up of any kind but the tinted primer makes my foundation blend perfectly and evenly. Furthermore I don't deal with break outs as an after effect of wearing foundation.I honestly could type an entire essay as to how tremendously satisfied I am with my results. I look forward to this product becoming available for everyone who has faced skin challenges such as myself.
Samaya Acne & Pigmentation System - This new product I have been using has been life-changing I’ve been battling with hyperpigmentation acne and the ugly scars it has left behind from breakouts i’ve only been using this product for such a short amount of time and it’s cleared up pretty much all of my acne, it’s also knocking down the hyper pigmentation. I definitely will recommend to anybody that is dealing with acne problems to try this product.
