Clearer Skin Starts Here
Acne Treatment at Aria Dermatology in Woodbridge, VA
Struggling with persistent breakouts, red bumps, or acne scars? If you’re in Woodbridge, VA or the surrounding Northern Virginia region and you’re thinking “I need a dermatologist for my acne,” you’re in the right place. At Aria Dermatology, Dr. Yazdani Abyaneh helps teens, adults and families reclaim clear skin—with tailored acne treatment plans.
What is Acne & Why It Happens
Acne (medically termed Acne vulgaris) arises when hair follicles (pores) become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells and bacteria. From blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed pustules and cysts, acne can affect the face, chest and back. Hormones, stress, diet and even skincare products all play a role.
Types of Acne We See in Woodbridge/Prince William County
Teen acne: The classic “oops-I-got-a-zit-before-the-school-pic” scenario.
Adult acne: Yes, it happens—20s, 30s, 40s and beyond.
Cystic or nodular acne: Deeper, more painful lumps beneath the skin surface—requires more intensive treatment.
Acne scars: Left untreated, acne can leave discoloration or textural changes (scars).
How Dr. Yazdani Approaches Acne at Aria Dermatology
Comprehensive evaluation — We tailor treatment based on your full medical history and clinical exam. An appropriate acne regimen includes careful attention to a patient’s skin type, the specific types of acne lesions, whether acne involves the face, trunk, or both, any potential triggers (such as menstrual cycles in female patients), and whether there are any types of scars present. We adjust treatment based on your previous treatment history and response to therapy.
Customized treatment plan — This may include:
Topical therapies: retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, topical antibiotics.
Oral medications for moderate to severe acne: antibiotics, hormonal therapy in certain women, and isotretinoin (accutane).
Procedures: extraction, chemical peels, laser or light therapies (especially for scarring or persistent lesions).
Maintenance & prevention — Acne isn’t always “one and done.” We’ll guide you in proper cleansing, oil-free/non-comedogenic skincare, sun protection and lifestyle tweaks to avoid future breakouts.
