The Skin MD and Beyond Acne Treatment Program is the most comprehensive acne treatment program available to treat both active acne and acne scarring. The combination of the best traditional medical treatments and cutting edge skin treatments with the latest technology delivers exceptionally effective acne treatment with fast results.

The goals of Skin MD and Beyond Acne Treatment Program are to target the causes of acne, clear up active acne, prevent further breakouts, eliminate any red or brown spots left from old acne papules, treat any residual scarring and to improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Step 1: Comprehensive Medical Assessment
Dr. Fiona Wright personally assesses each patient’s skin condition through a detailed skin and health history, review of previous treatments and skin examination.

Step 2: Individualized Treatment Program
Dr. Fiona Wright will design an individualized Acne Treatment Program for each patient which might include some or all of the following:

• Blu-Light Acne Therapy Blue Light Acne Treatment is a faster solution to clearing acne than traditional oral and topical medication. By using light to kill acne bacteria, results are apparent more quickly. This extremely safe treatment can control your acne or clear it up for a long period. Treatments are simple - you simply sit with your face close to the light for approximately 15 minutes. The procedure is noninvasive & pain-free. Once the treatment is done, patients can return to their daily routine. Typical schedules for patients are twice weekly for 8 weeks. The BLU-U system by Dusa effectively clears 50% of moderate, inflammatory acne in 4-8 weeks. Results are especially impressive when used with conventional treatments, such as topical creams and oral antibiotics. Dr. Wright may recommend exfoliation treatments such as Vitality Vitamin A Peel along with your BlueLight Treatment to clear the skin of the dead cell plugs and blackheads.

• Laser Peel Fractional Treatment uses a laser micro beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin resulting in a quick healing time. This treatment is able to treat a wide variety of skin conditions such as acne scars, wrinkles, skin laxity, and photo damage. Unlike other lasers, it is useful for all skin types and tones and works on your entire face: forehead, eyes, nasolabial folds, lip lines, chin and even the neck, chest and hands.

• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with Levulan (ALA) Treatment uses the multiple wavelengths of light found in the IPL to treat acne scars, redness and pigment change while ALA liquid acts to photosensitize the skin to make the IPL treatment more effective by targeting oil gland production. The procedure takes 60 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity.

• Reparative Oxygen Treatment is a specialized procedure delivering medical grade oxygen to the skin to improve skin oxygenation, decrease bacterial growth and promote healing. This procedure is done in conjunction with a Medical Grade Acne Facial Treatment. The procedure takes 60 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity.

• Microdermabrasion is a superficial type of treatment using very fine crystals of aluminum oxide to remove the dead outer layer of the skin resulting in a smoother skin surface. The procedure takes 30 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity. A series of treatments is recommended for best results.

• Chemical Peels are topical preparations including lactic acid, glycolic acid and salicylic acid which act to improve acne, skin surface texture, superficial scarring and help to eliminate oil plugs to decrease blackheads. The procedure takes 30 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activities.

• Medical Grade Acne Facial Treatments use products with the highest activity levels available to address multiple skin care concerns. Custom preparations combining a wide range of enzymes and polyhydroxy acids are used to treat each individual patient. The procedure takes 70 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activities.

• Fiona Wright MD Medical Skin Care Program is a customized at home daily regimen consisting of medical grade skin care products to optimize treatment effects and maintain good results. Programs are customized for each patient to ensure they are using the best products for their individual skin care needs.

• Prescription Medications may be prescribed in conjunction with our acne treatments as part of a multifaceted approach to maximize results in a short period of time.

Step 3: Results
The unique combination of the best of traditional therapy with new technological advances means that patients can expect significantly greater and faster improvements than with conventional treatment. Results vary and are dependent on the treatments chosen. On average, acne patients see a 70-90% improvement after treatment.
