As the school year approaches, students in Marietta, GA, and throughout the Atlanta area are gearing up to face the challenges of new classes, extracurricular activities, and social events. While many are excited to reunite with friends and make the most of the academic year, dealing with acne can put a damper on their confidence. At Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, we understand how important it is for students to feel their best, which is why we’re here to help you start this school year with clear, acne-free skin.

Understanding Acne: Causes and Impact

Acne is a common skin condition, especially among teenagers and young adults. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne. Although often dismissed as a regular part of adolescence, acne can have significant emotional and psychological impacts, including low self-esteem, social anxiety, and even depression.

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. This blockage can result in blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and, in more severe cases, cystic lesions. Several factors contribute to the development of acne, including:

  • Hormonal Changes: During puberty, the body produces more androgens, which stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oil. This increase in oil production can lead to clogged pores and acne outbreaks.
  • Genetics: A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition. If your parents had acne, you’re more likely to experience it as well.
  • Stress: Increased stress levels can trigger or worsen acne by prompting the body to produce more hormones that stimulate oil glands.

Effective Acne Treatment at Kayal Dermatology

At Kayal Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, we offer personalized acne treatment plans designed to address the root causes of your skin concerns. Our experienced dermatologists use a combination of proven therapies to clear up existing breakouts and prevent future ones.

  1. Topical Treatments: We offer a range of topical solutions, including retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid, to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. These treatments can be tailored to suit your skin type and severity of acne.
  2. Oral Medications: For more stubborn or severe cases of acne, oral medications like antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or isotretinoin may be prescribed. These medications work internally to reduce oil production, kill bacteria, and decrease inflammation.
  3. In-Office Procedures: Our clinic offers advanced in-office treatments, such as chemical peels, laser therapy, and extractions. These procedures can help to quickly clear up existing acne, reduce scarring, and improve the overall texture and tone of your skin.
  4. Skincare Education: We believe that knowledge is power. Our team will educate you on proper skincare routines, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, to maintain your results and prevent future breakouts.

Our Patient Reviews

Jennifer M.

First time ever at a dermatology office! So I was a little nervous... But they have a very friendly staff and it was nice meeting PA Joel! Felt comfortable and he was informative & made me feel like I wasn’t the only person dealing with my issue. I can’t wait to see some results and get some relief!!

Eve L.

Love this place! Everyone is so caring, and very helpful in each way possible. Highly recommend this place for skin care and even skin cancer!

Detlef K.

I’ve been going here awhile. I’ve got a few pesky issues, some due to my not allowing areas to completely heal, sins that prolongs my already glacier like speed healing! I really appreciate Dr. Kayal and Joel who combine to take of me and my family.

Michael V.

Was greeted upon my arrival, very nice waiting room, was taken back immediately. Very professional, caring and friendly staff. They want to help you. The PA Joel was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to help me. I was given a prescription to address the problem. Will be back with other issues, keep up the good work.

Lisa W.

PA Brown is very attentive to my son's needs. I have not had any difficulty getting appointments when needed. I think this practice provides excellent service. I definitely recommend Kayal Dermatology for all of your skin needs.
