Topical and Oral Medications
Antibiotic or antifungal creams, lotions, and pills are prescribed to address the underlying infection and reduce inflammation. Depending on whether bacteria or fungi are the root cause, our team will select the most appropriate medication. Consistent use is vital for clearing the infection and preventing future flare-ups.
Aerolase Neo
This gentle yet powerful laser treatment uses a specialized wavelength of light to target inflammation and bacteria in the hair follicles. Aerolase Neo helps clear breakouts, diminish redness, and promote faster healing. Patients often experience minimal discomfort and downtime, making it an excellent option for those seeking a comfortable, effective laser solution.
Chemical Peels
Professional-grade peels work by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, ultimately preventing further irritation and infection. Ideal for mild or superficial cases of folliculitis, chemical peels can be customized to address the unique needs of each patient’s skin while promoting a smoother, clearer complexion.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Simple habits like wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding harsh shaving practices, and maintaining proper hygiene can significantly reduce folliculitis flare-ups. Our dermatology team will provide personalized recommendations tailored to your daily routine and specific triggers, ensuring long-term improvement and prevention.
Customized Skincare Regimens
Using gentle, non-comedogenic products supports the skin’s natural barrier and minimizes irritation. We design skincare plans that focus on preserving healthy skin while effectively targeting folliculitis, offering everything from specialized cleansers to dermatologist-approved moisturizers for ongoing maintenance.
