This 18-year-old female consulted with Dr. Rebecca Baxt to discuss her cystic hormonal acne. Dr. Baxt recommended a customized treatment plan of oral antibiotics, topical medications, and chemical peels. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the patient was only able to have 1 chemical peel in-office prior to closing in-person appointments. The patient proceeded with the recommended topical and oral regiment and followed up with Dr. Baxt via Telederm appointments during quarantine. The ‘after’ photo reflects her results 7 months after the start of treatment.

Acne Fast Facts…Types of Acne
Acne is a very common skin condition involving the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. While acne isn’t a dangerous skin condition, it can leave scars and negatively affect self-esteem.
Effectively treating acne begins with an accurate diagnosis of the type of acne you are suffering from and what treatments you have previously used.
Some of the types of acne conditions include:
- Comedonal Acne – clogged pores
- Inflammatory Acne – whiteheads, blackheads and pimples (more common in men)
- Cystic Acne – when infections penetrate deeply into the skin, causing red bumps which are often painful.
- Hormonal-Onset Acne – occurs in women when estrogen levels decline.
The next step is to determine a customized treatment protocol that addresses your specific type of acne.

This 28-year-old female suffered from acne for the past 6 years. The patient did not want to take any oral medication. Dr. Baxt proceeded with a chemical peel and a combination of prescription and topical medications to treat the patient’s acne. The after photo shows the results of one chemical peel treatment and 1-month usage of topical medications.
It’s important for acne sufferers, whether they are teenagers or adults, to know that there are various acne treatments based on the type and severity of acne you have. The treatment plan must be customized to the specific type of acne, the degree and frequency of the outbreaks, and the patient’s lifestyle. Dr. Rebecca Baxt will recommend customized acne treatments that not only address current acne outbreaks but also help reduce future outbreaks by promoting healthy skin.
At BAXT CosMedical®, your customized treatment plan may include some of the following treatments: prescription creams and medications, chemical peels, Intense Pulsed Light, Photodynamic Therapy, Smoothbeam Laser, and Isolaz®, designed to treat acne at the root cause in order to kill bacteria and unclog pores, or control hormonal breakouts.
Acne Scarring Fast Facts…Types of Acne Scars
Acne scars on the face, chest, and back are very common skin conditions that Dr. Baxt sees in her practice. Some types of acne are more likely to cause scarring than others. For example, a simple whitehead or blackhead typically will not cause scarring. But inflammatory or cystic acne can cause noticeable scarring.
Also, some acne patients may be prone to scarring due to:
- Family history or genetics
- Lack of early treatment
- Picking or causing trauma to the skin
There are different types of acne scarring, including atrophic or depressed scarring and more significant scars called hypertrophic or keloid scars. Each type of scar requires a specific treatment to minimize the appearance of the scar. The descriptions of the type of scars include:
- Ice pick: This type of acne scar resembles an ice pick as there is hole that’s wide at the top and narrows to a point as it goes deeper into the skin.
- Rolling: This type of acne scar has indentations that makes the skin look uneven.
- Boxcar: Boxcar scars are seen deep into the skin as indentations.
Hypertrophic or keloid scars are more significant scar tissue that rises off the skin. These scars are typically painful, tender, and/or itchy.
