How Does a Board-Certified Dermatologist
Differ from a Regular Dermatologist?
If you're looking for a dermatologist, training matters. As a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology, Dr. Baugh has invested directly in your care.
How? He obtained the organization-required education, which includes three years of a residency in dermatology accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our Fullerton dermatologist also needed to successfully take on a year of ABD-approved training. All of this experience culminated in an in-depth testing process, which he passed.
Still need more reasons to trust Dr. Baugh? He's also a Fellow of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery (ADS), the American Society of Laser Medicine (ASLMS) and Surgery, and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).

My daughter was treated by Dr Baugh and we were both so grateful for the detailed information he gave us. She had seen other dermatologists and Dr Baugh was the first to prescribe treatment that cleared her skin very quickly.

Have pimples or cystic acne? Seeking acne treatment from a dermatologist is the most effective method of managing this common skin condition. Your acne treatment may include one or more of the following:
Topical Treatment
Topical treatment includes the application of prescription gel, cream, or wipes that are formulated to reduce and prevent blemishes. These products typically contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide is best suited to traditional pimples that appear red and contain pus. Salicylic acid is a good option for patients that suffer from blackheads or whiteheads. Retinoids may also be used in topical treatments to clear clogged pores and reduce acne.
Oral Medication
This approach to treatment requires patients to take medication in pill form. There are different types of acne medications, including retinoid pills, antibiotics (only ideal for short-term use), and some types of birth control.
Emergency Treatment
Our dermatologist offers emergency acne treatment to address cysts and other blemishes that require immediate attention. Cortisone shots and light therapy are effective in shrinking the pimple and reducing swelling.
We Don't Just Treat Acne We Also Help with the After-Effects
Dark spots and scarring are common for many of our Fullerton acne patients. They can still find the smooth and even skin they desire — and that's thanks to our dermatologist. After treating your acne at the source, he offers a variety of procedures designed to refresh the texture and pigmentation of your skin.
For example, light therapy can be used to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. Existing blemishes or scars can be minimized with treatments to speed up exfoliation, such as chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and microdermabrasion.
The Benefits of Treatment
Are Clear to See
You deserve a complexion that boosts your confidence. If you experience breakouts that you cannot manage and treat on your own, Dr. Baugh may be able to help. Some of the advantages of seeking care from our dermatologist include:
-
Improved Complexion
If you are unhappy with the appearance of blemishes, acne treatment can boost your confidence and make you proud to show off your skin. -
Easier Facial Cleaning Routine
Successfully treating acne can reduce irritation, discomfort, inflammation, and redness for a more comfortable daily facial care routine. -
Scar Prevention
Treating your acne today may allow you to heal blemishes before they create scars in the future.

A Wide Range of Treatment Options AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT WHAT WE OFFER IN FULLERTON, CA
Though an at-home skin care routine is often the first step toward a smoother appearance, an advanced facial treatment or a combination of treatments performed by Dr. Baugh can help accelerate your results and maintain clearer skin. These treatments may be used in combination with each other or with topical acne treatments like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses light and a photosensitizing agent to treat moderate to severe acne by killing acne-causing bacteria and reducing the amount of oil within the pores. It may even soften the appearance of acne scars.
Chemical peels allow the outer layer of skin to shed quickly, clearing pores and even reducing acne scarring. Chemical peels range in intensity, but Dr. Baugh can make recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
A Patient's Microdermabrasion Experience
