Personalized Acne Care

At Culver Peds, we understand there is a gap for Acne Management locally. We offer comprehensive acne care for teens and young adults. We follow a 5 prong, evidence-based and holistic approach for acne management:

1) Gentle skin care routine. We do not sell products. We review the products that the teen is already using and determine if those are right for them. If we think a different product would result in a better outcome, we recommend a gentle, plant-based product depending on their needs and budget. We do not have any financial relationship with any product we recommend.

2) Dietary recommendations. We firmly believe that acne is affected by dietary choices. We offer nutritional counseling, focusing on a healthy, unprocessed, plant-based diet as part of the treatment of acne.

3) Behavioral interventions. Sometimes simple measures such as reducing daily washings, timing of facial washings, stress reduction, sun exposure, exercise, and avoiding hair on the face can impact acne severity. We discuss these behavioral interventions with all our teens.

4) Outcome-focused. We closely follow the teen’s psychological and perceived outcome during the treatment course. Our primary goal is to ensure that the patient is happy with the outcome.

5) Medical management. When indicated, Dr. Adame will prescribe medications following evidence-based protocols, ranging from topicals, to oral antibiotics, to isotretinoin (Accutane). Dr. Adame is an iPledge attested physician and follows strict protocols when prescribing isotretinoin.
