Acne Action Plan®
Acne affects people of all ages and skin types. The causes of acne are usually multi-factorial and can result from hormonal imbalance, stress, diet, genetics, cosmetic products, and inappropriate treatment regimens. Acne lesions range from mild, with slight redness, blackheads or whiteheads, to severe, with cysts, pain and scarring. Regardless of its cause, acne is an inflammatory problem of the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. Dr. VanderVeer believes treatments such as topical and oral antibiotics, scrubs and abrasives, topical benzoyl peroxides, topical retinoic products, oral isotretinoin (Accutane), and even hormones, ALL inflame or damage the skin. Dr. VanderVeer's revolutionary treatment program for acne specifically addresses the pathophysiology of acne in a unique way. The Acne Action Plan® program is non-toxic, safe and effective. It does not utilize any harmful chemicals or treatments. Your customized program could include medical peels, expert extractions, Epionce® Skin Care, Blue IPL, Harmony XL® or Smoothbeam™ to kill bacteria and calm inflamed skin treating both active acne and acne scars, or laser resurfacing with Pixel™ or Portrait®.

"I tried everything available - all inappropriate treatments - and have finally found an effective solution. Researching skin and acne, I developed a distinctive program based on the latest medical information. I used the program myself and successfully treated my own problem skin as well as that of many others. I know the liberating feeling of having clear and healthy skin and the difference it has made in my own life."
