Still getting pimples? Stop hiding and let us help. Acne is an extremely common skin condition, and it ranges from blackheads and whiteheads to inflammatory pimples and cysts.
Unfortunately, acne affects people in all age groups. It is no longer only a condition of our teenage years and can continue well into adulthood. Hormones, increased sebum production and bacteria are all potential causes.

Dr. Rao has more than a decade of experience treating acne.
Under his guidance, we have an arsenal of acne treatments that include both medical dermatology treatments and aesthetic practices. Medications, light therapy, medical facials and an advanced skin care regimen are all keys to our success. Using our three-stage skin philosophy of prevent, treat and maintain, we can help you develop a personalized, synergistic program to achieve the healthy, clear skin you have always wanted.
