Thank you for your Inquiry. There are a number of treatment options available to you. The best way to start is to set up a consultation with a Medical Aesthetician or Dermatologist to determine what type of skin you
have and your medical history. This will ensure a safe and effective treatment plan. Eczema can be tricky to deal with and utmost care and professionalism is required.

Some of the best options are: A series of Peels designed to improve texture and skin tone. An "IPL" laser skin rejuvenation treatment. An Obagi home care system that will prepare & transform your skin for the above mentioned treatments.

  • Should I be on the pill for acne? What are some other options?
    (3 answers)
    Hello! I'm 18 years old and I just started taking birth control for my acne. I usually break out pretty bad the week before my menstrual cycle and my skin scars very easily so my skin looks really bad. I am usually able to get clear skin after my period if I wash it and put scar cream, but then I break out and scar again. I was very hesitant to try birth control so I did some research and I got even more scared. I decided to give it a try anyway to see how it would affect my skin and I havent seen a difference at all. If anything my skin is probably a little bit worse. I am on my first pack of the pill.
