Acne Treatment reviewed online by Los Angeles Dermatologist Mark Horowitz, D.O.
Los Angeles Dermatologist, Mark Horowitz D.O. 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. Horowitz uses his website to publish information on all types of acne treatment options including the use of topical retinoids.
Topical retinoids are an effective treatment for acne as they help unclog sebaceous glands and keep pores open. Antibiotics may be used to fight the P. acnes bacteria. Isotretinoin (Accutane) or hormonal agents, such as birth control pills, may be used to reduce sebum (oil) production. Acne treatment goals are to heal existing acne lesions, stop new lesions from forming, and prevent acne scars from developing.
Dr. Mark Horowitz practices medicine at Coast Dermatology Medical Associates. After completing his training at Michigan State University over 10 years ago, he has mastered some of the most advanced techniques available in dermatology and cosmetic surgery today.. He also specializes in cosmetic laser treatments to improve the signs of aging and wrinkling of the skin. Besides his advanced surgical training, he has developed a special interest in chronic rashes that result from allergic reactions.
Dr. Mark Horowitz is an active professor of Dermatology. He is the assistant director of the Western University/Pacific Hospital Dermatology residency program, and he was active in teaching resident physicians at UCLA Harbor Hospital.
