Adolescent years are formative both physically and emotionally. That is why we focus on the special skincare needs of teenagers. From severe acne to athlete’s foot, we try to make these difficult years less difficult.
More than 85% of teenagers have this common skin problem, which is marked by clogged pores (whiteheads, blackheads), painful pimples, and, sometimes, hard, deep lumps on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, back, and upper arms. We treat (and prevent) acne many different ways based on the severity, from topical and oral solutions to light and laser therapies. Below are some of the treatment options we offer.
The treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective.

Work with your dermatologist to develop an individual skin care regime. Based on your unique skin type and lifestyle, customize your plan for healthier skin.
The effects of youthful sunburns are often not realized until decades later. Over-exposure as a child can lead to leathery skin or even skin cancer as an adult. So it is important to start a healthy regimen of protection at an early age. While every sunburn can increase your risk of skin cancer, it’s not just those big days at the beach or ballgame that cause trouble.
No single method of sun defense can protect you perfectly, though. The best path to beautiful, healthy skin is to adopt as many of these steps as possible into your lifestyle, and make them daily habits everywhere you go, all year long.
Still developing, teens are often more susceptible to skin infections than full-grown adults. That is why we treat each condition specifically for teenagers.
Athlete’s Foot is a scaly, cracked rash that thrives on warm, damp skin. This often effects teens whose feet tend to be damp and sweaty. Other fungal skin infections include jock itch and ringworm. OTC topicals may solve the problem if it is mild, but more serious infections may require topical or oral prescription medicine.
AD is an inflammatory skin condition that typically manifests in dry, itchy, inflamed patches of skin along with related health conditions such as asthma and allergies. There is no cure for eczema, but, in most cases, it is manageable through treatments like oral medications, steroid creams and light therapy.
The herpes simplex virus causes small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on your mouth or nose. Cold sores last about 10 days and easily spread from person to person. Triggers include fever, too much sun, stress, and hormonal changes like periods. Can be treated with antiviral pills or creams.
Changes to a teenager’s hormone level and body chemistry can lead to the onset of dandruff, a common scalp condition that that causes flaky skin and an itchy scalp. This may be why dandruff usually begins around puberty. It can be treated with prescription-strength shampoos or topical steroids for itching and redness.
The increase in hormones during puberty makes the body's sweat glands more active, producing more sweat. In rare cases, there are medical reasons for heavy sweating. If you are sweating when resting, sleeping, or if your hands or feet sweat a lot, it may be hyperhidrosis -- which could require prescription medications.
Warts are tiny skin infections caused by viruses of the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Types of warts include common, flat, plantar and filiform. They can be passed from person to person by close physical contact. They can be treated with topical medications, lasers, freezing and removal.
Teenage skin is changing all the time. We offer a wide range of skincare products specially designed for the unique skincare needs of teenagers. From sunscreens, to acne medications to potent anti-fungal remedies, we have the tools to protect your skin and keep it vibrant and healthy.
