I have been going to this office for 10 years. Dr Baugh specializes in sun damage related skin problems and other as well. I have sun damage and am confident in Dr Baugh's ability and treatment. Very nice office too.

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.
Cosmetic Treatments
We can also combine cosmetic dermatology treatments in your acne treatment plan. 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.

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.
If you have acne scarring on your face, neck, or chest, laser skin resurfacing can even out your texture and stimulate your body's healing response, leading to the production of collagen. The result is firmer, softer, and smoother skin. The laser we use at our Fullerton, CA, office is also safe to use on deeper skin tones.
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.
Dr. Baugh can provide you with a customizable medical facial to treat a wide variety of skin concerns, including acne, dryness, oiliness, and sensitivity. Our facials use naturally-derived ingredients that won't irritate your skin. They're also a good way to enhance your at-home skin care routine.
When skin care products that contain ingredients like benzoyl peroxide aren't enough to treat your acne, microdermabrasion can help. This treatment exfoliates the outermost layer of skin, smoothing the surface and improving acne breakouts. This may be a good alternative for patients who are sensitive to chemical peels.
