Acne Treatment reviewed online by New York Dermatologist Nelson Novick, M.D.
Acne Treatment information is now offered online by leading dermatologists. Patients can now get the information they need directly from the person they trust most, their own physician.
Topical retinoids are a standard component of acne treatment. They are useful for the management of both comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory acne.
New York Dermatologist Nelson Lee Novick M.D. understands that patients seek information to treat their acne and other skin conditions from their own dermatologist. Their online searches for health information can be frustrating and they would prefer to learn from the source they trust most, their own dermatologist. Dr. Novick uses his website to publish his expert opinion about acne treatment using topical retinoids.
"Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, are the mainstays of acne therapy. In fact, they are considered as first line therapies for both blackheads and whiteheads (open and closed comedones) and for pimples and pustules. Retin A was the first in this class to be introduced more than three decades ago."
Topical retinoids, such as Differin ™, Epiduo™, Retin A Micro™ and Tazorac™ are a primary component of acne treatment because of their unique ability to open clogged pores. Acne treatment aims to control one or more of the underlying causes of acne. Almost all cases of acne can be effectively treated. Some topical retinoids, such as Epiduo™ and Ziana™ are formulated in combination with other acne medications.
Dr. Nelson Lee Novick joins other leading dermatologists in the New York area who use the Vivacare Patient Education service to help patients and local community learn about their health and treatment options.
