Acne Treatment and Skin Care for Teens – Minneapolis St. Paul, MN
As the parent of a teenage girl or boy, you know that the teen years are crucial to your child’s development. Along with emotional highs and lows, rapid hormonal changes during these years also bring with them some skin care issues. Acne is a constant threat, and minor blemishes and unwanted hair are intensely disturbing to appearance-conscious teenagers. You want your children to experience the growth and enjoyment of these crucial years, so their concerns about skin problems are your concerns as well.
For many parents of teenagers, the answer to the challenging skin care problems faced by their children can be found at a medical spa. The medical professionals offer effective treatments and prescription-only products to treat acne and other skin problems. We can create a customized program for your daughter and son that will clear up existing problems and help prevent future problems. Some of the treatments and products we’ve found particularly useful for teenagers are listed below.

Healthier Skin for Teenagers
It wasn’t all that long ago that you may have experienced the embarrassment and anxiety caused by an outbreak of acne or were horrified at unwanted hair popping up in the wrong places. The teen years are important formative years, affecting self-confidence and self-esteem in ways that may have impacts for many years. A teen with even a moderate problem with acne or other skin problems may face teasing and even bullying from peers. When self-esteem suffers, the enjoyment of the carefree years are often overcome with embarrassment and stress. This can even affect academic progress and inhibit the growth of healthy social interactions.
There are many products on the market directed at the skin problems of teens, yet over-the-counter products often don’t produce the results they promise. Your family physician may prescribe antibiotic treatments for moderate to severe acne, but these treatments can have serious side effects.
