Treatments: Topical and systemic medication, facials, salicylic acid or glycolic acid peels, Smoothbeam laser, photodynamic therapy, pulsed dye laser
Effective treatment often requires the combination of different modalities to treat all components that make up acne. Medical extraction facials and salicylic acid peels open up the microcomedos, the starter lesions of all acne. Glycolic acid products and peels also diminish pigmentation from past breakouts.
Topical medical treatments target several components of acne and are usually used to prevent acne breakouts. When acne is very severe and scar formation is impending, systemic treatments are indicated.
For people who do not wish to use oral treatments or are unable tolerate them, laser treatments or photodynamic therapy present an excellent alternative.

| 2008-06-24 18:56:32 | I followed the Dr. from Jefferson - Philadelphia. Dr. Ringpfeil is the best dermatologist I have had... and as a psoriasis patient I have had a few of them. For the first time, my skin reacts to treatment. Thank you! |

I did not feel at all uncomfortable or nervous, as I normally do at a doctors visit. The assistant was wonderful, and they worked great as a team. The visit was painless, quick, and very easy. Thank you! I'll certainly be back and recommend this office to my friends and family as well. :) |
