Steiner Ranch Dermatology First in Central Texas to Offer Breakthrough Acne
Laser Treatment
Revolutionary Treatment Now Available for Those That Choose to Remember 2008
as the Year of Clear Skin

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Steiner Ranch Dermatology today
announced the addition of Isolaz(TM), a revolutionary light-based treatment
for eliminating acne, removing unwanted hair and rejuvenating aging and
sun-damaged skin.
"The start of the new year is often a time when people resolve to remove
barriers to happiness and confidence," said Dr. Ted Lain, Steiner Ranch
Dermatology. "While there are a number of effective ways to prevent and
reduce signs of acne, some patients need a little extra help. This new
technology gives patients a powerful way to achieve clearer, healthier skin
more quickly and more easily than ever before."
Through the combination of a vacuum and broadband light to cleanse and
refresh pores, this technology represents the only light-based treatment for
acne with 3 distinct advantages over less advanced laser-based solutions: it
is painless, delivers overnight results and enables patients to resume normal
activities immediately after treatment.
As the only FDA-approved system for both comedonal and pustular acne, the
new approach is broadly effective, capable of quickly and dramatically
clearing acne for the vast majority of patients, even those traditionally
non-responsive to treatment.
Steiner Ranch Dermatology is dedicated to providing patients with the
broadest possible range of safe and effective treatment options for skin
conditions ranging from acne and rashes to skin cancers and sun damage. While
the new Isolaz(TM) technology represents a significant leap forward in
targeting acne-causing bacteria, it is not the only effective treatment.
Simple methods for eliminating and preventing acne breakouts include:
-- Use carefully formulated cleansers that exfoliate with gentle acids,
not abrasive grit. Rubbing abrasive particles into your skin can lead
to small tears and injuries, increasing inflammation and actually
worsening acne.
-- Avoid scratching at problem areas as this could push bacteria deeper
into your pores.
-- Adopt a Mediterranean diet. The latest research supports the age-old
notion that "junk-food" diets, high in sugar, saturated fats and
enriched flour, worsen acne.
-- Use an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide wash for acne on the chest and
back -- just be sure to wash it all off as it can bleach your towels!
-- Always use moisturizers and sunscreens that are "non-comedogenic" as
these products do not cause or worsen acne.
