What is

ACNE?

Acne, a common skin condition, is often misunderstood as a mere teenage concern, but at Reforma Dermatology, we know it can affect people of all ages. This condition arises when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acne can range from mild, with a few occasional blemishes, to severe, with painful cysts and widespread breakouts. Its causes are multifaceted, involving factors such as hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and even certain medications.

That's why our team at Reforma Dermatology takes a personalized approach to acne treatment, addressing the unique underlying factors that contribute to each patient's skin struggles. We offer a wide range of effective treatments, from topical and oral medications to cutting-edge procedures, all aimed at helping you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Treatment Options

ACNE

Acne is a common skin condition that can affect people of all ages. The severity of acne can vary, and treatment options may depend on the type and severity of the acne, as well as individual factors such as skin type and medical history. Here are some common acne treatment options:
‍
Topical and oral medications: We are able to prescribe topical or oral type medications to help reduce inflammation, help to kill bacteria and regulate oil production. These types of medications may include retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal therapy.

Laser therapy:: Laser therapy treatments are used to target and destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation. It is also a great way to help improve the appearance of acne scars.

‍Microneedling: Microneedling is an invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. This helps to stimulate collagen production and can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

At Reforma Dermatology, our goal is to provide you with the most effective and personalized acne removal treatment plan to help you achieve clear and healthy skin. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tejas Patel and learn more about our acne removal treatments in NYC.

Hold and drag - Hold and drag -

I’ve struggled with eczema all my life and the various amounts of creams/ointments given to me by other places never helped enough. Dr.Patel is the only dermatologist I have met that explained everything to me clearly so I understood my issue clearly and gave me other options. My hands have never looked so clear in my life. Super happy with his service and his whole office is very nice/professional. Highly recommend!

Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and helpful. First time I went in he spotted my problem just by looking and immediately assigned me treatment. After following his regiment for a couple of months, it has completely healed. He also was able to check several other areas and prescribed medications for those areas. I highly recommend.

I started suffering from hormonal acne last October and visited many different dermatologists to find a sustainable solution. Dr. Patel is the only doctor who was committed to healing my skin. He saw me every 2 weeks to monitor my treatment and had effectively cleared my skin since I began seeing him in February! I am extremely grateful for him and his entire practice.

I’ve seen rapid results in just 2 visits.The front desk staff are courteous and professional as well, and the wait times are very minimal. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Patel for your all your skin concerns, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Patel is amazing. Not only is he great, but he will resolve any issues presented to him. I first came to see him for some skin tags and moles I wanted to remove, which he did. Also, I brought in my mother who was suffering from furuncle … something i’ve never heard from, but Dr. Patel recommended some medicine and my mom skin has cleared up 100%. I love his extreme intelligence and ambition to help with any dermatology issue. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel to anyone dealing with any skin issue.
