I’ve suffered from moderate (to at times more severe) adult acne since I was about 22-23 years old. I’ve tried numerous prescriptions throughout the years, from Retin-A Micro, to Tazorac, to Finacea, to antibiotics, to you name it. Even when my acne was somewhat under control, I was plagued with persistent and unsightly red marks that usually follow inflammatory acne lesions. These red marks can take a long time to heal/fade — at times weeks, but more often one to two months. I was doing some research about Pulsed-Dye Lasers, which are known to help treat redness (I believe studies have showed they help with inflammation, but I’m no doctor!). I gave Dr. Nogan’s office a call, and was told that they have access to the laser I was interested in once a month. Since then, I have had three laser appointments with Dr. Nogan, and the results have been fantastic. First of all, Dr. Nogan treated my entire face, not just the red marks. After three treatments, the red marks around my chin (where a majority of my acne was) are pretty much gone. The redness in my cheeks and the small, thin, veins around my nose are also gone. I really wasn’t aware just how red my face was until I started having laser sessions to treat it. Family members and friends have commented on my skin, and more importantly, I’m feeling better! Acne when you’re sixteen is one thing, but as an adult, it was beginning to effect my self-esteem. Dr. Nogan was patient, kind, and I felt very at ease in his office. He easy to talk to, which is hard to find with some doctors. I felt very comfortable speaking with him about my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I’ve had three laser treatments so far, and I plan to return (should I find it necessary).
