We have office locations in Cary, Chapel Hill, Fuquay-Varina, Pittsboro, Raleigh, and Sanford. Whether you are a teenager dealing with regular outbreaks or an adult who is still struggling to clear your skin, our team of experts is here for you to provide medically sound treatments. These can get you looking great and prevent scarring.

Topical Treatments Available for You 

When you come to us, we will develop a skin care routine for your specific skin type and lifestyle. We will learn your medical history, including your sensitivities and previous experiences, to ensure we pick treatments that address your concerns while being tolerable.  We will find products for you that include a handful of helpful skin-clearing ingredients, such as:

  • Retinoids
  • Salicylic acid 
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Dapsone
  • Azelaic acid 

Topical products are usually the first step in treatment because they are relatively safe, accessible, and are an important component of all acne treatments.

More Advanced Treatments are Available

At Central Dermatology Center, we are clinically trained to treat even the most stubborn outbreaks.  When our more conservative treatments do not work for you, we can offer alternative or additional options including:

  • Prescription medications to address bacteria, oily skin, inflammation, hormonal breakouts, and clogged pores
  • Laser therapy to address both active acne and residual scarring and hyperpigmentation
  • Facials and chemical peels 
  • Light treatments such as BLU light

These helpful therapies can help you reach your goal of having clearer, acne-free skin.
