Beating Breakouts

Pesky skin bumps and clogged pores are not just for teens. According to Rebecca Baxt, M.D., of Baxt CosMedical in Paramus, adult acne is common for women in their 20s and 30s and even in their 40s and 50s. Therefore, when "Adrienne" (not her real name) of Wayne visited the Paramus office to treat her adult acne, Dr. Baxt started her on a series of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels. The monthly treatments, which cost about $150 each, slough off old skin. That encourages production of collagen, reduces pore size, and helps quell pigmentation. Then, Dr. Baxt prescribed a few prescription acne products to unclog Adrienne’s pores. Once her skin was clear, she had three photofacials that diminished sun damage on her face and neck. The treatments cost $330 to $500 a session and take about half an hour every three weeks.

In the end, Adrienne was successful because she combined at-home treatments of pills and creams with in-office peels and photofacials. "Adrienne is so typical of the patients that we see: an adult woman with acne who does great with a combination of treatments," Dr. Baxt says. "We can put acne into remission with an aggressive combination approach." "When I first starting seeing Dr. Baxt, I always had to wear makeup to cover up," Adrienne says. "It now feels so good to be able to leave the house and not worry about my face. When I talk to people I don’t have to worry if they are staring at my skin."
